Torg Dwarfsmasher - Citadel Speciality Set 4 - Goblin Raiding Party

Hello all,
So as mentioned recently, I "accidentally" bought some more lead for the lead mountain. i blame it on the whole "Oldhammer"-influence, but in honesty I just enjoy these old sculpts so much. They are filled to the brim with character and although I have absolutely no use for them they are fun to paint. And they have brilliant names as well. I mean, how can you not paint a goblin named Torg Dwarfsmasher?

So the first goblin painted from the old Citadel Speciality set number 4, the scary Goblin Raiding Party, is the Goblin Champion called Torg Dwarfsmasher:

The raiding party in the original advert can be seen here (image from Stuff of legends), with Torg in the bottom left corner:

Not sure how many dwarfs he could actually smash - a few I guess, if they were drunk - but he does look the business. Armed with a nasty mace, sword, light armour, and a shield he is the champion of the bunch and looks like he could boss his goblinoid kin around.

A fine sculpt, no obvious mistakes and with quite a few details made this a fun paint. It has been a while since I last painted a goblin but I think I found a workable green colour for him.

The only thing about this Raiding Party that I'm not completely sold on are the shields. They are fairly basic, but I figured I would use black/white combo to make them seem more like a unit.

So with Torg, our Orc General, has finally found his first follower with a colourization that he can agree with :-).
Stay tuned for the rest of the goblinoid 'waargh'.

All the best,
Kasper
