#goblin tribes

So long story short, I was interested in Warhammer for a while now and few days ago while in the city I happened to walk past the Warhammer store. I couldn't help myself and went in. The guys working there were very sweet and helped me with choosing my first friction, The Goblin Tribe (from The Age of Sigmar).

They also gave me a quick miniature painting tutorial and were overal very thoughtful. Not gonna lie, this warmed my heart. I remember getting MTG cards back in the day and guys(players) acting hostile and borderline misogynistic.

Today on my way to work I kept thinking about the colour pallet for my army. When I was getting myself some lunch I noticed an interesting soda can. (You probably know where this is going).

Those colours are EXACTLY what I was looking for. Gentle tint of mint was the missing piece I needed. Now I know how to proceed.

After work I swung by the War Store and got myself propper clippers. They were kind of pricey, but it's okay. I don't mind spending a bit more money on something I'll be using regularly.

I also picked up the figurine I started painting the last time. When you buy your first set you get one for free. I still haven't finished painting this lil guy, but will do that in a free moment.

Then I finally finished the base on Uno. He still got a long way to go, but ita a start. After adding some more highlights he'll be a beautiful boi.

After that I took some pics of the bigger bois I partly put together the last time. They're not done yet because I was too scared to proceed with regular scissors and damaging the arms.

Ed: the one with one paw on a rock.

Edd: the one with cool as skull on his side.

And Eddy: the one with small, cute bone attached to his hip.

Tumblr doesn't allow me to put more that 10 pictures, but it's okay. I'll upload more pictures of the bois once they're all built and covered in base. All you have to know now is that their asses are showing and I love them for it. Healthy kings embracing body positivity. Just take my word for it.

Yesterday I put my first ever miniature together, so to celebrate that I named him Uno(kinda childish, I know). My personal experimental guinea pig. Unfortunately for me, once I got home I noticed that I didn't have appropriate clippers. (I'll get them tomorrow). So I had to improvise with an old pair of scissors. But hey, I made it. I accidentally cut the tip of his beard, but managed to glue it back together. I'm still deciding in the colour theme of my army, but am loving the idea of blue, purple and emerald green with some silver touches. I'll update once the base coat is set. In the meantime, say hi to Uno :)

After some time I finally managed to put the Troggs together! And, in my humble opinion, they look great. The details on them are insane.

Big boi number one.

Big boi number two.

And big boi number three.

I started reading about the lore some time ago and I'm obsessed. The dynamic between Goblins and Troggs is really cute. Big, strong slow fighters and smoll, fast balls of anger. I don't know what it is about it that gets me, but o absolutely love it.

Here is Uno and one of the big Bois in comparison.
