Oi, You Drive, I Shoot!

The goblin chariot has been one of my favorite models from the O&G line.  More than the Orc chariot, there is a distinct charm to the sculpt and the wild abandon of the goblins.

The Army Painter dip worked very well for this model. Green and bone are the two best colours for AP dip shading so I am very happy with how the model turned out. I made one change to my process based on the tutorials on the Army Painter site which worked very nicely. I applied the dull-coat varnish right after dipping, but before adding detail. The dull coated surfaces are better for painting and detailing than glossy ones. I will continue to paint in this order going forward.

Next up, an Orc Shaman will deliver some Big Waaagh!

Time to Go Bowling with a Mangler!

The Mangler Squig is ready to cause havoc!

With these larger models, the Army Painter dip is at the limit of what it can deliver. I am not completely pleased with how some of the larger recesses ended up looking, even though the overall effect is tabletop ready. This model will not win any competitions, but it will hopefully flatten some units.

I was pleasantly surprised by the GW yellow Base colour which I used on the Night Goblin hoods. A single layer of the base and a touch-up of bright yellow created a very nice and quick effect. This method of painting yellow rays on black is much quicker than the traditional method of painting the rays in white first and then covering with yellow. If you are still on the fence about the Base paint set, I can vouch for the yellow at least.

Next up, the Horde keeps marching on to the 2000 point mark. I have two more models to add to the mix and then the Horde will be unleashed.

Load 'er up!

This is my first Fine Cast model and overall my experience has been positive. Sadly, I did not catch the un-primed version, but after assembly it looked much like standard plastic models.

There is a lot to like. The level of detail is high. The assembly was very fast because no pinning was needed. All of the pieces are light and bonded very well with modeling superglue.

There is a little to dislike. There is a lot of flash and it's easy to damage the model when removing it.

For the painting, it's back to dipping with Army Painter and simple, fast paint jobs. Let's get this show on the road!
