September 8, 2012
Started work on the first of two "fantasy" mercenary armies included in Battlelore, the Goblinoids. Made of of Goblins and larger Hobgoblins, I found the difference skin tones, dress, and fantasy element of these figures to be more interesting than the human forces. I also started painting the Giant Spider with the Gobbo's.
I also purchased an issue of White Dwarf #341 June 2008 for $2.00 from Bosco's. It has a basic painting tutorial in the middle. I reference this as I tried out blending for the first time, on the lizard hides and the Hobgoblin Swordsmens' shields.
