Yes, lovely choice. I've got a very vivid memory of my older brother painting a goblin archer with that shield in a vivid Hobgoblin orange :) The champion is coming on a treat – the mini-griffon head is an inspired conversion.
If my memory serves me correctly, that is in fact an old (circa 1987-9) Goblin shield from the old Warhammer Fantasy Battle Armies box which contained 10 each of a Wood Elf, Dark Elf, Skaven, Dwarf, Orc and Goblin and cost the princely sum of £10! Yes, that's right, 60 figures for a tenner! Those were the days......!
I bought that box in -92 I think - it was the first plastics I ever bought. The sculpts are actually pretty good - the skaven especially - but the production technology is stoneage level compared to now.
I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
Nice work. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
ReplyDeleteCheers! Only the shield left now!

That shield is a classic. I was lucky enough to have two in my collection.
ReplyDeleteI´ve got three! ;-)
DeleteI have that same one somewhere. It's perfect for this project!
ReplyDeleteCheers! I thought so too!

ReplyDelete:-)
