It's accidentally a Kev Adams sculpt month. There was no intention for my painting to work out in this order, but here's a bunch of goblins to follow last week's pig orcs.
These fun sculpts are courtesy of Old School Miniatures (https://www.oldschoolminiatures.co.uk/greenskin-regiments) and I bought and started them a couple of years ago, then stopped. Why? I've had them sat there for a while, but talked myself into a corner about doing the best I possibly could with them, but a challenge of handsculpted models is some of the details simply aren't that crisp, with feet and hands often being a victim of this, but I was determined to do the best I could.
This was an exercise in getting over myself. In reality just painting them green and adding some colours to the less interesting elements such as shoes, feet, bags, pouches et al. On sculpts like this it's the head and hands that matter, with the odd detail here and there to pick out and celebrate.
It would be difficult to share palette, receipes etc. for this group, as I would simply pick a colour that looked appropriate and throw it at a few models until I felt it was good enough. No formulas or real planning and thinking to this section.
The classic red sun design on the banner is freehanded. It's a skill I need to practice more, and this was an ideal surface for that. The chromed shield on the warlord was a test piece showing a friend how to achieve a sky/earth chrome effect, and I just kept it there, despite it not fitting into the scheme of everything else.
