Warhammer Renaissance armyproject 2024

Inspired, like many before us, by the White Dwarf articles series "A Tale of Four Gamers" (WD 218->);
a couple of Swedish Warhammer enthusiasts recently decided to make a small armychallenge for the coming year. Beginning January 2024, we will be introducing and presenting our armyprojects monthly.

The guidelines are as follows:

2000 points worth of army, for the fan-made Warhammer Renaissance ruleset, presented each month in batches of ~400 points.

We will each start the year by introducing our respective armyprojects and ideas.
The sixth and last month will be for finishing leftovers or extras, summarizing our efforts and presenting our finished armyprojects.

Part 2: January - Niklas' Orcs & Goblins

"What're ya standin around droolin fer ya slimy git!? The 'umies are right there! Come on, go over there and bash 'em! Don't make me prod ya with me stikka! There we go, that's better, wait... why're ya lookin' at me like that? Oi! Let me go you- WAAAAH!"
- Last words of former boss Snik Eye-Poker, before being eaten by a troll


Phew! Painting 400 points of goblins in one month is not an easy task, especially when you've joined the challenge 10 days late! I also didn't realize that trolls are a lot cheaper in Warhammer Renaissance than in 5th edition, argh! Luckily I could boost the points of my shaman with an added level and some magic items.

I have painted like a madman the last few weeks and still just barely made it with a day to spare. With that said, I've discovered that painting goblins is super fun! There's just something about working on the little mean green buggers that's very enjoyable.

The regiment of 30 classic monopose plastic goblins painted up fairly quick, and I did not spend too much time on each individual one. I actually forgot to glue on the shields before I started painting them, so they will be shieldless for now.


 The trolls were amazingly fun to paint, and I spent a bit more time on them. For some reason I'm missing the third unique sculpt from this set, so two of them have the same poses.

The only model that isn't a Citadel sculpt this month was this little winged fella. He's an obscure 90s model from Armada Enterprises, and I decided he'd make a good goblin shaman. I'm not sure what the wings are supposed to be but they do give off a kind of forest goblin vibe.

The final goblins I painted for the month was the command group for the goblin regiment. Three absolute classics from 1989 by Kev Adams. All of them are filled with so much character.
