Finally back with an update. I'm sure that a lot of you are dealing with similar situations...The COVID-19 thing is running rampant and we were just alerted that my kids school would be closed for at least three weeks and social distancing is a thing now.
So time to play catch up on some hobby related tasks...one of which will be this Blog. Might as well get some writing and photography done while I have the chance.
Sadly the plague situation also canceled our planned siege game at Cold Wars this year....so I will have some posts on how that terrain and planning effort played out but for now I'd like get a post up about my latest painting efforts.
Those efforts have been focused on the Marauder MM32/34 Goblin Wolf Riders. I've managed to tackle the entire range all in one shot and that will be the focus of todays post.
These Wolf Riders have been an obsession of mine for many years...mostly centered on collecting the entire range...and one blister pack in particular took at least four years of active looking to track down. While the Kev Adams goblin Wolf Riders from Citadel are the ones that most people think of, the Marauder ones have always been my closet favorites and you don't see as many nicely painted samples of those. (Don't worry, I have a deep love for the Adams ones as well and they will be coming down the pipeline before too long as well.)
As you may remember these wolf riders were an early enough release from Marauder that they were still using lines drawings in their advertisements and "Catalog" ..specifically this set of drawings.
Here are the painted riders displayed in their blister pack groupings with associated Catalog drawings.
There they all...in the next post we will look at some other wolf riders that I will be adding to this group including some "conversions" and modified models.
Regards to all, stay safe out there all...
Cheers,
Blue
I have a few of these gobbos and they are ok, but I prefer the Kev Adams gobbos. The Marauder wolves have always been my favorites, a huge improvement over the Citadel wolves, though I have a bunch of them also. The Kev Adams gobbos on the Marauder wolves look great. I have around 30 wolf riders in the "someday" pile of figs I've been hoarding. They will be in three units led by the gobbo from MM32/1 without the back banner.
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff mate. Can't wait to see em in the saddle!
ReplyDeleteMan, you burned through these! Now for the wolves!
ReplyDeleteSome of the first Warhammer minis I ever purchased were six of these little guys. And I still haven't painted 'em!!!!!! I love the pea soup complexions you gave them. Very nice work!

ReplyDeleteGreat collection! And well painted as usual😀👍
ReplyDeleteBest Marauder Catalogue I've ever seen 😁 Lovely work, Blue - and that skin tone is über cool - actually looks like plausible green skin 😊😊
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lovely subtle skin tone you've produced there mate! Keep up the painting and blogging and stay safe!
