Confrontation Goblin Archers

I present 3 Confrontation Goblin Archers by Rackham (long out of production). I have had these lads on and off the painting table for ages. 

These are lovely figures with lots of detail. I hope I have done them justice - not sure if I have over done the skin highlights. I have to varnish these - do I use the gloss varnish like the rest of goblins or do I use the matt varnish? 

So on to something else now!

Dwarf with Crossbow - Confrontation

Apart from some varnish and some grass I have painted Dwarfs with crossbows for Confrontation’s comical Dwarf faction of Tir-Na-Bor. 

These are quite nice to paint - although I find the design rather comical and jarring when compared to some of the other factions. But it works with the comedy goblins I have. 

I have decided to sell off the DBA armies I have in 28mm, due to lack of use and the fact I have gone in on the Onus Kickstarter with Steedo, so really done need the duplicates. 

I think I would like to do DBA in 15 or 10 mm with more figures on a base so that each base looks like a unit. 

I will post images of the DBA armies as I take pictures for their sale.

Griffin Spearmen - painted. And the moor.

In amongst the hiking and work I have managed to paint some rather old Griffin spearmen for Confrontation. 

Still need to put the grass on the bases. I do find the Confrontation stuff a challenge to paint as there are so many little details on them. I will do a showcase of all the painted Griffins at some point soon. 

I have also been out on the moor again - a really good weekend for it (a bit cold on Saturday night mind you)!

The view from Little Mis across to Kings Tor and beyond. 

Ingra Tor (I’m pretty sure). 

Yes Tor and High Willhayes

Kes Tor. 

Hopefully more updates soon - but the better half has plans for the house …

Confrontation Devourer Marauders

So after sitting in the painting queue for a very long time I have finished off a couple of old Rackham Confrontation miniatures. 

To be precise 2 Devourers of Vile-Tis Marauders. 

I picked these up of eBay already assembled (but with cards). Try they are the first of the Devourers I have painted - I have small forces of Dwarfs, Goblins and Griffins painted (and I should put them on the blog at some point,if only to remind DK what he persuaded me to buy .... way back in the mists of time). 

I have to say that I find the Rackham stuff quite intimidating to paint as the quality of the miniatures is so high - these are pretty well done, but they are a challenge with all the fine details.

Nice looking minis - just a touch of varnish and some grass to completely finish off. 

Off to varnish some skirting boards ...
