Greenskins: Da Rude Robbers

Crooked Claw Miniatures sculpted by Kev Adams. 

These are the first 6 of a unit of 30.

I painted them in muted colours to give them a more brigand and ragtag feel. I did not want them to shine and be silly. The paint job was a bit quick for them.

They were pleasant and easy to paint. I will be painting more of them up soon.

"Goblins are by far the most common of the goblinoid races. They love to inflict pain and suffering on other creatures, and squabble amongst themselves if they have no one else to fight. Lacking fighting discipline, they make very poor warriors and often run away at the first opportunity. In spite of their numbers, Goblins are so disunited and undisciplined that they rarely present anything other than a transitory threat to Human settlements. Their favourite mounts are Wolves or Boars." - WFRP 1st Edition

Warbands of Chaos: Khorne

I finished these off a couple of days ago. My brain is rather uninspired at the time, so I can't give you any lore as of yet. It was a bit difficult deciding on the paint scheme. Trying to keep it simple and cold.

 This lovely miniature is from the Pantheon of Chaos kickstarter. Diego did a really good job with it. It's detailed and took time to paint - very worthwhile.

This marauder bloodletter I painted long ago, when I needed to do something else. I'm proud of the paintjob and it inspired me to do the rest in similar fashion.

I was close to selling this Chaos Thug, but I'm glad that I kept him and painted him up.

I love this Jes Goodwin sculpt. Might be one of my favourites, but it was difficult deciding on which part should be which colour and I ended up cleaning him acetone because I kept changing my mind.

Here is his shield - from the Pantheon of Chaos kickstarter. Fits him well.

Thank you for looking.

Career: Artisan Apprentice Arne

"So I grind the azurite to create this lustful blue colour - the cardinal will love it on his coach." - Artisan Apprentice Arne spoken to his Master.

This miniature is from the old Marauder Citizen Range.

"Push harder boy, else the glass will never be hot enough for me to get it into the right shape." - Glass Artisan Helmut 

"All Artisans learn their trades by taking an apprenticeship. As apprentices, they learn the skills necessary to their profession, earning their keep in the meantime. Sadly, in all too many cases, they also work long hours for little reward and are given all the unpleasant, menial jobs to do, and they may be unlucky enough to have an ill-tempered, drunken, or incompetent master.

Apprentices who leave their masters before completing their apprenticeship have no trade by which to support themselves and many may become vagabonds or adventurers for want of any other way to make a living." - WFRP 1st Edition

Career: Alchemists' Apprentice Albrect

"If we mix the old urine with charcoal and cinnamon powder will make a highly flammable product.." - Alchemist Apprentice Albrect

This is a C04 Thief from Citadel Miniatures.

"I swear to Sigmar if you drop on more vial of Sulphur I will pour acid on your hands." - An alchemist with a clumsy apprentice.

"The only way to become an Alchemist is by serving an apprenticeship with an experienced Alchemist. All too frequently, however, life as an apprentice is all work and no learning. The apprentice is often treated as an unpaid servant and spends too much time scrubbing floors and running errands to learn very much of the Alchemist's art. Not surprisingly, therefore, few apprentices stick it out long enough to become proficient Alchemists." - WFRP 1st Edition
