Showcase: Batch Two. 9 Goblins from the Hobbit
That’s another 9 Goblins complete. I’m really pleased with how quickly I can paint a batch of these. In between batches, I’m painting a dwarf or two just to break up the project. I’m really pleased with the project so far. I’m just over half…
Showcase: Blood Angels Vindicator
