Very nice indeed !

Completed another couple of bits for the Goblin project! This time it's an Army standard bearer and some wound counter bases.

Next up will be the Goblin Mincer (think snotling pump wagon), just waiting on the glue drying!

I love that standard - *really* cool.

...some wound counter bases...

Those are an interesting idea, I have been thinking about how to keep track of suppressions in ITLSU. Had been thinking about dice frames on one stand of each company but you need to keep track of suppressions this turn and overall. That would need two frames plus 2 figures on a 25x20mm base which would be getting cramped.

Some bases with just 2 frames on which you can put with a company that has suppressions makes sense  Leaves the other companies un-cluttered

Japanese with really big standards often have a couple of assistants holding what are effectively guy ropes to steady the things. Perhaps your goblin would appreciate some help too?

[FierceKitty]

Here's one holding the ropes himself, for some reason. Perhaps the painter can explain the advantages, since he posts here too?

Looking really good

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

Indeed...

[FierceKitty]

Ice Cold in Alex, right?

[Steve J]

Brilliant film . John Mills said it took about 4 takes for the famous drink sequence pictured above, which was filmed in the morning. The rest of the day was a bit of a blur IIRC .

BTW the Goblin standard bearer is wonderful .

[toxicpixie]

One of the best films ever made... that and Casablanca must be two of my favourites ever

I quite like the idea of separate bases for dice holders. Got to be better than our current "balance a tiny dice somewhere on the base and hope it doesn't roll off" or stick a tiny piece of paper by the unit...

[Steve J]

Casablanca is just sublime .

[Luddite]

Perhaps this makes the point more succinctly.

Ice Cold in Alex is a great film but as I've never seen -or even can be ar*ed to see- Casablanca I'll pass.

[Ric]

I've added something rather big to my Goblin force, and although it is not a pendraken model I have used part of a pendraken kit in the conversion! no prize for spotting it other than a 'well done' i'm afraid (yes I'm a cheap git!) ...let's see who can tell me what I've used!

Apologies for picture spam!

[Luddite]

Excellent sir.
