I painted these for use in Warcry. I expected Mannok Da Kunnin’s face to be difficult to paint given the metal basket around his head but it actually wasn’t so bad

Warp Miniatures makes these magnificent gnomes and I’ve had them for a while. We’ve started playing a lot of Spearhead at the game store, so I got a bug to print off enough to counts-as them as the Gloomspite Gitz spearhead and paint them up.
I’m quite happy with them! I’m looking forward to printing off and painting their Mouse Cavalry to run as the new Gitmob spearhead, once we know what’s in it (and my printer is fixed).
Here’s a photo in front of a black background because I’m still playing around with that.
I want to note that I did paint these little fellas’ eyes because yes. I gave them pink, magenta eyes because they’re magical little forest fairies.
And I used fluorescents so that, in the right circumstances, they’ll glow with sinister menace…
(I prefer “Night Goblins” to “Gloomspite Gitz.”)
First off, I painted up the Gobbapalooza, because it seems like they’re incredibly useful and common to see in Destruction warbands in Warcry. They came, of course, in a box with a bunch of other Goblin models… so I moved on and painted most of those, too.
Not really painting these for any reason but to paint them: Gotrex, the new Ogre character, some extra Cursed City minis I got back when that came out.
I painted up a few more of my Orcs back in October (and forgot to post about them). This puts me at pretty close to having 100% of the Orcs I’ve bought at fully painted: I think everything’s done except a second, converted Mawkrusha (built from a Terrorgheist and a Savage Orc Boss) and 10 Boar Riders. I’m a little burnt out from painting these guys, so that’s likely going to stay that way for the foreseeable future.
This is possibly the most precipitous one of these I’ve done. Orcs? Done and sat around for months before photographing. Giants: like only a third done but in the lightbox.
I’m blaming the fact that life kept me from really focusing on the Kraken-Eater, which made finishing him take forever, so I’m eager to just take a break from the project. I’ve got another two Mega-Gargants and four regular Gargants to work on. They’ll be getting different skin tones, so I’ll work on them in a different batch or batches.
Also, these guys were especially frustrating to paint, as they were some of the last models I built before getting new glasses so: so many gaps, so many poorly smoothed/rough spots.
There’s some stuff I’m very pleased with here: I think I did a great job doing volumes on the skin and cloth, and I think I did a good job of adding textures to the surfaces.
The first Gargant I’d painted was specifically intended to go with my Ogres. So I figured I’d paint one to go with my Orcs (I don’t know if that’s actually an option, but whatever). So this guy’s pale and has some LotR Troll bits that make him look a bit more like an Ardboy.
