I love Goblin Commanders!
Give them a +1 Body Point +1 Mind Point and a +1 Defend.
Reduce movement to 8, because he has to take time and give his thugs orders.

Team him with a pair of Goblin Archers to help cover his inevitable hasty retreat. :D Good Stuff there.

Edit to add: Goblins are my total favorite. I use them even in champion and epic level games. All I need to make them a lot tougher is "Defends on White Shields" in the quest notes and rock it out. They still drop like flies, but a room full of them is fun stuff, they can kill heroes still. Those 1 and 2 dice attacks add up fast.
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

Beautifully painted indeed. As others have said, I like the way you gave each weapon type goblin their own coloured shirt :)

These are VERY nicely done. Any recomendations I could make would involve a very different style of painting, so I'll keep my big mouth shut!

Really though, wow!

Interesting people like this so much. I'm doing the exact opposite, making sure every shirt/weapon combination only appear once! S'all good man |_P

This is more my style - every model as different as possible, even if only a different paintjob.

Ofc it is a matter of taste. Besides, if one paints as good as you I don't care how you choose to do it ;)

Interestingly, I had discussed this exact topic with my wife. Should I paint four different colored shirts with one of each weapon type per color? (i.e. red hatchet, red scimitar, red short sword, blue hatchet...) Or three different colored shirts with each weapon type wearing the same shirt. I BLAME HER!!!

The downside was coming up with another shirt color. When I move on to the dreaded 16 orcs, I'm going to need four different colors to continue this theme, and I am hoping to not do red, yellow or blue. I'm thinking black for the two notched scimitars, brown for the standard scimitars, purple for the morningstars, and off-white for the cleavers (like evil butchers).

The worst part was trying to think of some way to shake up the skeletons. 3 done, working on 4th now, but how do you paint skeletons differently??? (not planning on doing any mods, so thinking only of paint.

Skeletons can be painted with varying degrees of rust on the blades.
You can also paint the bones either skull white, brownish bone or yellowish bone.
I've painted four glowing blue to be used as the Spirit Riders in RotWK.
You could also give them glowing eyes.

Heh, exactly what I did! That way players can say: "I'm attacking the yellow goblin with the sword!" :D

Excellent paintjob man! Very well done!
