I did wait until I had seen the film before opening the Hobbit Box set from Games Workshop, but so far I have not started on any of the figures.
However I did also buy the paint set and have 'completed' the five goblins that are part of the package.
So to show Daniel, the new local purveyor of plastic and resin, here are the first pictures of my Misty Mountain Goblins.
They mainly follow the instructions, except I used Scorched brown for the shafts and whips (that sounds bad) and used white paint on the eyeballs before using the crimson ink.
Now I just have to finish the rest from the box...
