    Thank you so much for this video! I'm new to the hobby and have been struggling to paint my dozens of goblins for my Moria army. This has given me the inspiration to get them done

      Hello and welcome to the hobby! It's always nice seeing a fresh face :)
      Goblins are certainly a fun way to start, they have lots of character and especially when you add in some monsters in there too!
      Im glad that my little corner on youtube could give you some inspiration to paint yours up!
      I too am working on them this year, i have about 70 to paint plus monsters :):)
      I hope that you enjoy the hobby!!

    I just dragged out the original GW 'Fellowship of the Ring' starter set that I received 20 years ago, and so this is of particular interest. I have unsteady hands and cannot paint well-those tiny details are beyond me-but hope to have a go, though nothing so ambitious as what you are doing there.
    Incidentally, the distinction between 'goblin' and 'orc' is largely due to Peter Jackson. It is significant that in The Hobbit, 'Orcrist' is translated from (what was then) Noldorin as 'Goblin-cleaver'.

    • @SwordsandBrushes
      @SwordsandBrushes  Před rokem

      Oh absolutely have a go :) Just pop on some Lord of the Rings music and paint away, it's what gets me into the flow of hobbying quite often :)
      I wish you well and hope that you enjoy painting them!
      It is interesting seeing the distinction between the two - especially in other fantasy settings and movies. :)

    Mate, please keep it up. Excellent production value. I've been dying for someone to paint middle earth miniatures properly and show off the entire process. There's plenty of painters out there that are really good, but they are mostly painting larger scale and/or hero scale miniatures, and their techniques are frustratingly hard to apply to the tiny middle earth range, especially to the old low-detail models like these goblins. Well done!

      @@SwordsandBrushes I used blue stuff to create 2-part moulds of the pike heads, and then a 50/50 green stuff and milliput blend to create the heads out of. Just green stuff didn't get the detail I wanted, and pure milliput was too brittle. The shafts I made out of 1mm brass rods. So conversions were mostly just clipping off bows/swords and drilling out hands, with a few arm repositioning.

    • @SwordsandBrushes
      @SwordsandBrushes  Před 2 lety

      That’s an excellent idea! And a good way to save on costs as well. Especially if you need a certain amount of a particular weapon type :)

      @@SwordsandBrushes i started collecting when the battle games in middle earth magazines came out many years ago and managed to collect thousands of pounds worth of stuff. I eventually sold all of my collection (for next to nothing) after feeling a bit of ridicule at the time for collecting and then a lot of pressure from my girl friend at the time to get rid of it all. I started collecting again in april this year because i had really began to miss the hobby and i’ve already recollected a lot of what i lost from my original collection, including lots and lots of goblins, many of which are still awaiting painting

      @SwordsandBrushes  Před 2 lety

      Oh no that’s a shame, I’m sorry to hear that. At least now you can restart and create a brand new collection and it will bring you lots of joy doing so!
      Yes I do know the mags, I’ve got about 12 that I need to find to complete my collection.

      @@SwordsandBrushes i’ll have to look at it. I think zorpazorp also does something like that with the old magazines. I now need 23 of the magazines to complete the set. It has been very nice starting again as my painting ability is far greater than it was back then. As a teenage i used to paint far too heavy coats and i only used citadel base coats. Either the other types of paints and washes werent out then or i simply had no idea they existed. I didnt really have access to the internet back then and didnt have a GW shop anywhere near so relied entirely on the very limited GW stuff a local model train shop sold and the instructions in the magazines. Now if i cant figure it out for my self i can just pop on youtube for techniques!

      Oh yes i think we have all been there, i remember my first bunch of miniatures were Space Marines and i remember i was all over the place and laying on paint thick as if it was an art class at school! haha

    • @wanntime1894

      So it's nice to give these old boys a bit of love.
      I'd like to get mine to 1000 points (ish) i would really love to get some of the big beasties too like the Balrog and the watcher - as i have plans for them...
      Oh yes the scenery is gorgeous! Most of the times whilst im painting and have the movies on i tend to get distracted and just watch the scenery - i would love to go to New Zealand one day and see a lot of these sites! - one day! :):)

      - you use variety of painting techniques!
      - there is clear strategy to get models play ready, but more importantly get them to "display level" if wanted with few extra steps
      - you have kick ass basing on models and show how to do them

      @SwordsandBrushes  Před 2 lety

      Hiya! Thank you for the nice comment :):) and glad to hear that you are starting out! I will be using Army painter brushes for the videos, they are a decent price and a solid set of brushes for miniature painting and not too expensive. I got a set recently from Amazon and they were on offer but that may have been due to Black Friday. Games workshop brushes are good too, I find some of them are a little bit and miss but mostly are ok. If you wanted some more expensive ones (but not totally breaking the bank) then there are Windsor and Newton series 7. They are about twice the price but I have found them to be very good quality, and with a bit of care they last ages! I have also tried a couple sets of “miniature painting” brushes that have been advertised on Facebook - about £12 for a set of 10, unfortunately they have been utterly useless. I just use them now to add PVA glue to bases / scenery as they are very low quality.
      I hope that has helped you a bit, please do let me know what you end up getting as it’s Christmas soon :)
