Hi all, Almost three months after I started the little fellas I've finished the last of Zarbag's Gitz so they can claim their spot in RFI: These are one of Games Workshop's Shadespire (or Warhammer Underworlds if you prefer) warbands, where every side has a small number of unique figures with scenic bases on two standard-sized sprues. I'm impressed that they managed to get nine models in this band, as they all feel nicely 3D and full of character. It does help that goblins are small - the bases are 1" across and most of the figures are about that high, although the special characters (above) are a wee bit taller. I painted them all with Citadel paints and a hairy stick, no airbrush work apart from primer and varnish. That made the whole process nice and relaxing and quite contemplative. For all that it's taken me a while to finish, they aren't that hard to paint and most goblins took a couple of evenings. I think the squigs were a bit more involved, and the characters rather more so as they had more interesting things to paint like Drizgit's branding iron and charcoal burner, and Zarbag's caged fairy. I'm particularly fond of Drizgit who has an incredibly world-weary look, but even the basic arrer gits have their appeal. I now need to paint Mollog the Troll, who will complete another warband with more squigs - see the ongoing WIP thread for details. Cheers and thanks for looking! Will

Hi all, I've been painting fiddly tiny robots and thought a palette-cleanser was called for - this little chap is from Zarbág's Gitz (a Shadespire warband) and took about an evening's work so far, spread over a couple of days. 'Scuse the bad photo, too much direct light in the room. I was quite pleased with him before I took the picture, but he's messy in close-up. Not surprising, I suppose, given that he's not much bigger than my thumbnail... Paint recipes for reference: * Skin: Death Guard green highlighted in two stages with mixes of that and Averland Sunset, then washed with a 2:1 mix of Lahmian Medium and Athonian Camoshade. I added highlights after that with Averland Sunset and Scream Skull, washed some recesses with neat Camoshade, and glazed red bits with very thin Mephiston Red cos it was on my palette. * Cloth: Incubi Darkness with 1 or three coats of Nuln Oil (headcloth vs. robes) highlighted with Incubi Darkness, Hawk Turquoise and Baharroth Blue. * Bindings: Rakath Flesh with green + brown washes and highlights of Rakarth and Pallid Wych Flesh. * Leather: Dryad Bark washed with Agrax and stippled with yellow-brown (forgot the name) and Zandri Dust highlights. Then glazed with Seraphon Sepia. I think those are the main ones. I'll see if I can tidy up the face as it's a bit rough, the rest isn't bad though apart from the dust. Once the base is painted I might blend some green mouldy colours into the robes? Cheers, Will
