something to make your gnob mold line removing - just do upper surfaces. no one will be looking under their arms or staring at gnob crotch!
They still take forever. Probably the most unrewarding thing ever (especially when you try to rank them up!)
avantar13 Feb 2011
i am at 103 now and i have only 17 left
i did all the mold lines also under the arms i think i will do the 17 under the arms to just to make them fit in
but really wished i would have thought of that this morning

Hey Avantar, could you please use capital letters where they're needed, it just makes for easier reading, shows that you are making some effort in your posts and is one of the few standards we have here at the Stronghold.
OT; You will have a pet and my respect if you can finish 100 Gnobs in 1 day. Even more so with pics of them!

I was using normal gw washes on my test gnoblar. Using blue on shirt, red on pants, and black on other stuff.
But somebody told me of this certain substance which transforms any paint into a wash. I have almost all GW paints so could you guys post a few different colour schemes ? I dont want the same colours on all of them.

does anybody know anything i could listen to or watch while i paint them. I have already watched the entire dragonball series (which did not need much involvement on my part) I also listened to all the podhammer podcasts from 8th.

I love this. You sir, are pretty much insane! (in a good way though!)
The quality/speed ratio is excellent too, they look better than I thought, pics are great too. Are you carrying on through the night untill you reach the 100 mark with pics?
If so, do you mind if I put a link up in the Butcher's Cauldron? I think you would get more views, and that's a good thing as more people need to see this!
I second the reccomendation of 'Bad dice' for a podcast, 'Heelanhammer' is a good listen too.

HALLELUAH 6:13 4 hours before the deadline.
and here they are 120 gnoblars
if i had the devlan mud i could probably finish the 40 that are drying within 30-45 minutes or so. so i have painted 20 hours straight and would paint 1 hour more if i had the paint. so thats still well within the deadline.
120 gnoblars within 24 hours. and though you dont quite see it on the foto's they look alright. i will probably let someone who knows how to make foto;s do a few to show them better.

After reading and living the thread, and having several hundred painted gnoblars myself, I bow to you. I was happy enough getting my first 100 done in a few days, but this is madness!! SHEER MADNESS!!!!
And the only way I would've found this thread is your post in the Gnoblar Tower. It is this kind of inspiration that members need to see every so often to continue their own trial-by-greenskin-fire that is a gnoblar horde army.
Again, congrats on the insanity that is your gnoblar horde.

realy nice painting standard for that short time. The only thing is, you have put all you gnoblars on 1 normal base size. You could put 4 gnoblars on 1 Ogre base.

Really?? The guy painted 120 gnobs in 1 day and you complain that he didnt put 4 on a base!! Just kidding...
I have to say though that this was a mental undertaking and you deserve all the mouldy gnob crotch that you get!
avantar28 Feb 2011
I was thinking about making 2 or 4 diorama's on the movement trays. But i cant get even half of the actual models that its supposed to represent on it. And i did not put them al on bigger bases because i magnetized them, And can now transport them without getting them out of the movement trays.
I still cant come up with a colourscheme.
What you guys think of striped or blocked pants ? And any idea what kind of skin colour fits with that ?

I did it on 1 guy and i believe it looked alright. Although the highlights where darker. And if you mix it with water i believe its called a glaze. As long as you fnish with devlan mud i believe you can be okay with flat colours to. You just dont get the highlights i got from using only washes

There is not much one can say about the gnob lover tribe exept of course for their strange fascination with the gnoblar race. It is well known that all ogres hold this race in higher regard then their food (at least most of the time). The gnob lover tribe however exeed the normal cooperation between gnoblars and ogres. Where most of the other tribes see gnoblars as slaves, pets and when in bad humour food. The gnob lover tribe see the gnoblars as friends and (one could say) employees. They will provide for gnoblars in return for services and entertainment. And have generally more gnoblars around then other tribes. This is not to say they are friendly or humble creatures, far from it. The regular gnob lover bull is just as much of a brute and savage as any other ogre and enjoys battle and slaughter just the same.

At the moment, I have 130 ready to spray and another 20 to finish the mouls lines. The difficulty will be that most of the models are going in a specific unit in my gnoblar horde so need to be painted a particular way.
