Hey guys ive posted a slightly bigger update on my blog but I did a bit more work on my Night Goblin Horde!

From my blog:

" My night Goblin army has rapidly taken shape with the entire army based coated and flocked (because I couldn't wait to see how they'd look) and I will now methodically highlight each unit and embellish the bases with tufts and rocks, I also have some banners arriving for them to make them look 'proper'!"

Nice work

I think on the undead post  it was said that using one base for troop, 2 for regiment and 4 for a horde?

Is that two bases side by side for the regiment, so 12cm wide?

Cheers

For a Regiment it's still 60mm frontage so 2x60x30 back to back to build a 60x60 square, making a Regiment.

Excellent work sir.

The big bases look marvellous.  I went a similar way for something i've got brewing...http://luddite1811.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/something-lot-more-orc.html

Cool blog Luddite! I did find it quite funny that we are both using the troll captain model as out commanders! Mine is clearly a Goblin on some serious mushroids though!;)

Righty ho then! That's the painting and basing done, just waiting for flags yo arrive, but even without I'm pretty happy with the way they've turned out!

Hopefully no one will mind of I phot spam the heck out of this post!?!

Pumped up from the ingestion of far too many mushroids, Ragnar Bonecrusha' is by far the largest of all Goblins, and an easy choice as leader because they are all to scared to stand up to him!


Next up is Gobwind, a wizard that is more a danger to himself and his friends than the enemy!


Next are two 'fleabag troops'



Then two Spitter regiments:



Then the bulk of the army on three Sharpsticks Hordes:




The evil giant Hodorn!


A group of smelly rock Trolls:


The heavy support in three rock lobbers:


And if you'll permit me a photo of Ragnar's Roughnecks in all their glory!


Again, sorry for the huge photo spam, hope it's ok Leon!

Looking really good

Still waiting for Luddite's rules to appear *hint hint*

*Really* nice - I love the big unit effect for the Horde bases, especially so with the scenery built onto the base and around the units and with troops clambering all over with pointy sticks everywhere. You can never have too many pointy sticks.

I really like the extra work you've done on the single based leaders - makes them stand out and looks really good. Massive hordes with champions at the front. Also, Ragnar should lay off the mushroids and have a quiet lie down for a bit...
