Not long ago, we had the good fun to do a gigantic Night Goblin / Gloomspite Gitz army, all at Exhibition quality. The client wanted us to push our boundaries a bit and give him something memorable. We were happy to oblige and he liked the results. This set us up for a tougher job this time though. He had reinforcements for us to work on, but we had set the bar for expectations. He wanted us to see how far we could push these ones.
Little Touches
For some of the goblin shamans from the loon court, we gave them basing that was a bit mad. It's only appropriate; how can anyone take them seriously? They're obviously off their rockers. This was fun, and gave us some ideas for how we can go over the top with other basing as well. A couple of the Troggoths also had resin pours to give their bases a watery look (i am always in a little bit of awe at a resin pour).
The Big Touch - Messing with the Models
Normally, we treat the figures as sacred. They are not ours! If something goes wrong, we have to replace them... As such, we are very nervous about irreversible changes to figures. The drawback is that because we don't make those very often, we don’t have as wide a range once we are allowed to start cutting off heads and sticking legs on backwards.
For the Freshwater Troggoths (Marsh Trolls) and the Troggoth Hag, we pitched the idea of putting dirt, flock, and plants on their backs. To have vines dangling from them. That way, we could give the sense that they had been sitting quite still for a while, before rising up to attack the other side's army. The client loved it the idea. We gave it a go, and you can see the results here.
These were all done to Exhibition quality.
