Greenskins

Well, got lots and lots of painting done this weekend. Why don't we flip through those pics right quick now?

First up are the Goblins! I managed to finish up the remaining layers of paint late on Friday night, bringing a close to my second most populous monster type. Certainly glad that part's over.



A closeup of some of the Gobs. The jester impressed me, so far I've done the least touching up on him, so I guess I was really careful last time for some reason? I'm not sure why, he has trouble staying upright for any length of time.



Next up are the fimirs. These were a short-lived group in Warhammer Fantasy that eventually were phased out, though they made an appearance in HeroQuest as some monster fodder that would put up more fight than the Orcs. They're bigger and more detailed than Orcs, but thank goodness I only have 11 of them, and only 2 were unpainted.



Because there were so few, I managed to get the whole unit done with the rest of the time I had over the weekend. The skins alone took about half the total time, so after they were touched up, it was all downhill. I randomly decided to make a dark red and blue with the two new ones just because.



And a close up of these guys. I really hope my next camera can get in closer than this, although I think my alignment was screwed up or something. Also, I painted the whites and irises on all these guys, and that was a pain in the arse. I need even smaller brushes, lol.



With the fimir done, I've finished all the greenskins, and by far the bulk of my current HeroQuest figures. Up for next weekend are the undead starting with Skeletons. There may be 20 of them, but I really don't see them taking *too* long.



In non-HeroQuest related news, I scored a new pair of goggles this weekend!



While they're not as awesome as my Aviators, they're certainly nice, especially for the price ($20). They work alot better in indoor-shop/lab/etc. type situations, which my other pair was having a bit of trouble with. I might need to find a longer elastic, so they can fit around my enormous ego, but other than that, I like 'em.

For those of you who live under an internet rock, CLICK ME AND ALL YOUR DREAMS WILL COME TRUE!

Also, I guess for once I should be glad my computer is crappy? After what happened at VanaFest yesterday, I'd already be back on FFXI if I knew I wouldn't be /rage at my computer every 10 minutes. Somebody really needs to stop me before I get a new computer, else I'll be playing 2 MMO's.

And then all hope is lost.
