Long ago, I wanted a ton of goblins for fun. And when one has a lot of goblins, one starts to experiment a bit. This is one of those experiments - a Mantic goblin head & body, mixed with the arms of a Perry foot knight.
He sat unpainted probably since my undergrad years but this silly little contest got me thinking about what unpainted gobbos I had, and I found myself gravitated towards this guy... I experimented a fair bit with him, trying a blend of classic washes as well as some layering techniques. His green skin and his yellow livery were probably my favorite parts to do, I did some basic layering for his skin that paid off in a very popping nose and the yellow came out to die for. I also finally tried one of those Citadel texture paints on the base.
When I have more time, I might return to him and paint some teeth and some stony highlights, maybe add some moss. But he's certainly good enough for tabletop!
As for usage, I'll likely try to run him as a PC someday when I get the chance, but he may make an appearance in my modded Creed of Iron in Faerun adventure as a lieutenant to the militia leader, Raggnar Redtooth, who is likely to be an upcoming post.
Thanks to Goblin Hobbies for running this challenge and helping a poor kobold out of his painting rut!
