More hobgoblins for the 9th Age

Last week the new hobgoblin auxiliary book was released for the 9th Age.

It’s a great read with lots of hobby opportunities that I will be working on over the next few months.

First up is a conversion of a mantic abyssal dwarf with a goblin wolf rider head to represent a hobgoblin levies armed with halberd ams wearing heavy armour.

Second is another classic GW wolf rider with my current approach to the skin using a lighter green and one of the very cool fireforge Mongolian shields from their plastic box set.

Hobgoblin Big Boss 2

Another classic hobgoblin from the early 90s has been finished.

This is the miniature known as Hobgoblin Big Boss 2 and is another classic sculpt.

Like many of this range he can be difficult to track down but is well worth the investment.

I went for a little lighter colour for the green skin and purple armour to differentiate him to the other troops in the hobgoblin horde.

Golden Hat competition

Once again those fine chaps at Chaos Dwarfs Online have produced a fantastic range of entries in the latest Golden Hat xxxvi competition.

I was extremely lucky to take out 2nd play with my entry - a giant flaming hat wearing (hob)goblin.

The giant is from: http://www.madpuppetminiatures.com/bust-and-miscellanea/giant-goblin

I repositioned the arm and added more snot using green stuff.
The hat is a piece of reticulation pipe with lots of green stuff and card for the trim with the odd skull thrown in.
The top of the hat is one of the resin GW base treatments with more green stuff for the flames.
The base is an old scenic one that suited very well.
I used a heap of GW and Valeyo paints and my usual purple approach to match the rest of my boys in my chaos/infernal dwarf army.
