At the end of May we stopped past a little hobby store a few suburbs away that a co-worker had told me about. The place is called Miniature Horde and they sell a bit of GW, some paints including Citadel Colour, Two Thin Coats, some other hobby supplies, etc – but mostly they’re big into 3D printing, with a wide variety of bases, basing bits and several licenced ranges including Avatars of War, Print Minis, OPR and Monstrous Encounters among others.

The owner there, a bloke called Irish, also holds a monthly painting challenge/comp with a giveaway model when you make a purchase, so when I bought a couple of figure cases and a model, I ended up with this little gobbo as well – clearly inspired by the old Heroquest models sculpted by Bob Olley.

I only had a couple of days to paint this little guy up, so being a simple model I allowed him to jump the queue and glued him down to a 25mm citadel round base so he’d fit in with my main Orc & Goblin force. I then got to work, finishing him the next day which is actually super fast for me, believe it or not!

Since I don’t really have any other similar random fantasy models to share for May’s work, he gets a post to himself – though there are more fantasy models to come fairly soon…
