I would show the spider riders but they are still in bare plastic at the moment and not very interesting.

hope you enjoy and thanks for looking.

OK time for a little update.

For the spider riders i have decided to buy new models as the other were gonna take a little to long to strip and seeing as im running out of time it was better to start from new.

Here is a progress shot of the Goblin spider riders. Skin is all done on the Gobbos and the Goblin Big Boss. The spiders have just had a couple base coats at the moment.

I have Also managed to get all the skin done on the Savage Orc Warboss. I have decided to go with a slightly Darker skin tone on him.

On a side note looks great other then those spiders....they must be destroyed! (I hate spiders)

I will try and get more close up pic done tommorrow this was taken early in the morning before we set off for the tournament. We Lost all three of our games but being our first fantasy tournament was still a lot of fun.

I havent forgot about the guide to the skin just been busy trying to get these ready for the tourny.

Ok got a little spare time so heres a little guide for the skin painting.

For the skin i base coat the whole model with Waaagh Flesh once dry i then coat all the skin areas again with Warboss green, next up is a coat of Biel-Tan green wash. Once the Wash is dry I ten give the skin another coat of Warboss green but dont paint in the recessed areas. Finally i do a highlight of Skarsnik green on all the higher spots. Hope this helps
