Painting follows the usual approach of my newer hobgoblins having a lighter green highlight on their skin.
The unit so far with Boss and BSB.
I also added the reprints of the old school banners to finish off the BSB and the standard for the unit.
Here is the unit in it’s full glory with the BSB.
The path to a full hobgoblin army continues with the commencement of a new unit and a BSB conversion.
These are the classic 90s hobgoblins and the BSB is a pretty simple conversion with some extra horns, cloak and and extension to the standards.
The shields come from the plastic Mongol kit frfrom fireforge I used for some mongoblins.
Although not yet released, enough sneak parks have been released concerning the new unit known as externals. These elite dudes are mounted on bear-dogs and armed with a new monster hunting weapon.
The mini is a 3D print and now it’s on the the other seven I have to paint.
Also below is a classic muso hobgoblin that I finished as well.
After lockdown ruined my last week of leave I at least had extra time to finish the unit of hobgoblin Kamandarans.
Most of these bros have the rifles from lost kingdom minis. I tried a few different conversions to break up the poses but since these are being retro fitted on my former archers some of the hands holding the rifles are not as crisp as I wanted them.
Apart from that I am extremely stoked to have a unit of 26 finished.
The champ is a 3d print whilst the muso and standard are front the unit’s old incarnation.
I have a couple of ogre unit fillers that need some updating so a unit of 30 plus is doable.
This is part two of my growing unit of Hobgoblin Kamandarans. The weapons come from mantic as detailed in Part 1 and from Lost Kingdom minis.
The Lost Kingdom guns are a mix of flintlock style and more traditional rifle or blunberbuss.
I will be able to rotate the minis in the unit to better represent if I use either option so my opponent is clear what they are fighting.
Although he was destined for the age that shall not be named, the Shar’tor miniature from Forge World had to be brought into the 9th Age.
Thanks to my handy dremel the oval base was cut back to fit on a rectangle base. Shar’tor will be used as a Taurukh Commissioner in his first outing this week.
As usual I expect him to be targeted early as we all know that he who is painted best and most recent, dies first.
Below is my first painted 3D printed hobgoblin.
These are some great designs and will fit in nicely with my classic GW hobgoblins.
Here is a couple of extra dudes who will also be making their way to the paint station next.
With the imminent release of the Hobgoblin auxiliary book for the 9th Age it was time to leave the Warriors of the Dark Gods and focus on the most treacherous of the greenskins.
Thanks to the ammertime podcast we have a couple of sneak peaks.
One of these is the hobgoblin Kamandarans.
They come with the finest infernal armour and have the option to take the mighty blunberbuss or flintlock axe.
With no miniature options available my existing hobgoblins would need take a visit to the conversion doctor.
These are the blood bowl hobgoblins who with their armour look the part with the addition of the mantic abyssal dwarf rifles.
Game wise these can sub in as being armed with either the blunderbuss or flintlock axe. These are the first of 20 that I will be converting.
The left hand was replaced with a fairly generic runic axe removed from one of those plastic slayers who came with the battle for skull pass version of warhammer.
The face had some horns added with a bigger nose and curly beard sculpted with green stuff. The mowhawk was also removed as this is a little too slayerish for my liking.
The paint scheme followed my previous Disciples of Lugar. I have a couple of games coming where I will try this dude out.
