Gnoblar Trappers

These figs were part of the group of unpainted Ogre Kingdom Gnoblars I bought at Recruits a couple of weeks ago.  I posted all 42 figs (8 metal, 32 plastic) for sale, trying to get $$$ for the 2012 Fifty Cent Mini Challenge.  The whole group didn't sell, so I decided to paint up some of them and see what I could do that way.  Here's the results of my efforts:

I kind of like these little guys.  If I did fantasy skirmishes, or warband type games, I would definitely use them.  The four figs on the front row have tons of character, and the detail on all eight is nice.

And Now For Something Completly...Orky

I felt the need to do something different, so I dug up this old Gorka Morka Ork and painted it. I tried to up the quality of the paint job.  Even though I am pleased with the end results, I am not 100% satisfied with them.  The skin tone could have been better and the eyes are  kind of "meh".

Even though I'd be considered a heretic by many GW fan-boys for various reasons, I still appreciate the quality of most of the GW minis.  This post proves that I am not 100% adverse to putting paint to brush on a GW fig.  Heck, I'd even field some on a table top; not using GW rules of course :-P
