when I was beginning rpg player onr of the first (if not THE first actually) rpg materials I've seen was wfrp rulebook; there was lots of pic I really fell in love in and have them carved deep in my mind to this day :)
among these pics there were 2 color pages: forces of good aaaaand of course forces of evil... on the first one there were presented sissy races like goodie-goodie elf, goodie-goodie dwarf, goodie-goodie knight and so on - goodie-goodie boooring crap ^^
on the second one there were evil characters (of course there were not evil in reality - it's just result of goodie-goodie propaganda... I bet authors of the book were also goodie-goodie in majority :shifty: )
anyway there were races commonly called not-good... ok - evil :roll: chaos stuff, greenskins, ogre...
some time ago I won some really old chaos champions on internet auction, after that friend of mine gave me remaing os his o&g minis; after that I purchased nurgle palaquin and thought that it would be nice to give these classic models proper bases, and what could be better idea than placing them together?* :D
I decided to make display containing as much old so-called evil models as I can get - should look funny in the end :D
so without more boring babbling here's the first one - originally just rank and file night goblin, but here it's devoted and wicked worshipper of lord of decay :twisted:

pics are of course crappy but I hope ty learn taking better ones 'till the display project's finish

*ok, I bet there are better idas but I don't wanna hear about that and I'll delete any such ideas from my thread :mrgreen:

I like it a lot. In fact I like gobbos a lot.

This one is nice and - which is even cooler - quite believable. Colors seem to look pretty natural, and the paintjob is good.

The only concern of mine is the photo, which looks a bit washed-out, a bit too pale. Try underexposing it a bit. Maybe by -1/3 or -2/3. Should help to make blacks blacker and the colors more saturated.

thanks guys :)
this gobbo is special for several reasons:
-first of all - it's cultist of nurgle :mrgreen:
-it was painted during the first painting-day in elblÄ…g
-it hasn't been varnished (at least yet); I left it unvarnished so I can re-do it a bit after I paint all models for the display (whenever it happens) and I wanted to keep colors "pure" for the purposes of taking photo

@mahon - I know pic is weak but I'll try to correct it in graphic program and repost - let's all pray to papa-nurgle it works :pray:
