I wanted to follow up on the blog post on speed painting that I posted a little while ago and show case a few pictures of Goblins painted in a similar way.
You can find the first post here: How to Speed Paint Skaven
I was asked by a member of the facebook community if these techniques would work with black clothes/robes and specifically for Night Goblins. Night Goblins, as all horde armies, are a pain to paint just because of the sheer number of miniatures you need to paint. Anything that alleviates that or saves time would be a big boon of course. I was fairly confident that it would work for darker colors, including black, but that it might take a tiny bit more time.
It also happened that I got the opportunity to paint a unit of Night Goblins for costumer. It was only a small unit of 16 goblins. The arrangement was that I paint those to showcase how it can be done, and supply instructions so that the he could finish the rest on his own. Anyway, here are the results:

This is basically the same technique as with the Skaven with a few minor differences:
- The metal is done with only Nuln Oil. This could be further nuanced with rust/dirt, but looks really nice as is.
- The black on the robes are done simply like this: Initial wash of nuln oil, drybrush with pure white, nuln oil wash two or three more times. These washes were done until the results were satisfying, and could be less to achieve a lighter grey tone, or more to achieve a darker tone. I think they look really nice for a nice table top level.
I am planning to experiment a bit more with glazes, and specifically combining shades and glazes, and I might do this with tactical space marines.
Also coming up is a WIP shot of some current projects, including an interesting Necromunda gang project.
