So as promised my project began with a shopping trip, if I'm going to do this properly I know having the right equipment is key, and my paint collection needed to be expanded too:
Before the models can be painted they must be assembled, they must also be carefully tidied up to ensure the end product looks smart. This involves cutting off any excess plastic left over from the frame, removing the mouldlines and filing any rough patches down. It's not a quick job to do all of that properly, but with it being such a sunny day I was happy to sit in the garden and work through the first set of figures.
I spent around 2 hours getting the first 18 goblins prepared. Doing this has reminded me just how long it's likely to take to get the whole thing done - here's hoping for a few more sunny days off work! So here is the beginnings of my goblin army:
Formidable opponents for the poor dwarves!
As you can tell from the pictures there are a lot more figures left to be assembled. I decided I'd like to get them all together before I start painting them, though I might regret that choice when it comes to hand painting them all with primer! (I am hoping that will give a better finish to them than using a spray on primer).
Hopefully I can find some time to do some more soon!
