Those who follow Tale of Painters will have by now seen a few larger and more showy Night Goblins, Squiqs and other models from my army that I have shared so far. But when you wish to field a Night Goblin army you will eventually have to paint a significant amount of these boys*.
This was the first unit of strictly Night Goblins I completed as part of my army refresh. In my old collection I didn’t have any bow boys, this time I wanted at least one to act as a bunker. I wasn’t too sure of the yellow for the army color still so this unit was my test for that before I got stuck in on the big 50 count blocks.
They are a mixture of the flat Skull Pass sculpts that I had in my old 7th edition box and the current NG kit. Mixed together they look great with lots of different poses and action. Once they were complete I decided that the yellow was a bit cartoony but I liked it anyways and wanted to go with it. Sometimes a bit cartoony is just what the game table needs.
*I know that we call them “boys” but can we really be sure? Has anyone ever looked under the robes? If you have and lived through the experience please do tell … I imagine it is a train wreck under there.

Hi Xoxtile!
I was just wondering if you will put up a tutorial of how to paint these guys? They are absoultely gorgeous ^^ The red noses and the pale greens looks awesome!
I am currently painting up a large force of Night Goblins and a tutorial would help out a lot! 🙂 Keep up the awesome work with WFB!
Merry Christmas!

Sure, I can do that. It is a very simple scheme.
Great paint jobs and some very characterful basing that adds a lot to the overall story and feel of the unit – all round great stuff!
Cheers,

I really like the yellow checks. It's a nice spot colour to sit on the black.
They look masculine so calling them boys is ok. The fluff describes green skins as asexual and they use spore reproduction. So I don't think you're going to see anything under the robes if you look 😀
Can we have a tutorial on how you paint them?
