Gobbo Feast Miniature – Thankful, Gobboful, and Blessed Goblin Diorama

Product Description

This Gobbo Feast Miniature is a joyful, chaotic celebration of everything that makes goblins such delightfully unhinged creatures. Perched triumphantly atop a freshly “acquired” ork pet beast, this rotund gobbo hero raises a juicy haunch in one hand and a chipped knife in the other, bellowing his victory to anyone foolish enough to wander close. Standing 44mm from top to bottom, the model is sculpted as a full diorama: a wooden platform, scattered bones, dangling trophies, and the half-devoured creature beneath him all contribute to the storytelling. Every surface is bursting with character, texture, and mischief, making this Gobbo Feast Miniature an ideal centrepiece for an orc or goblin army, a painting competition, or a narrative skirmish force.

Wide surfaces on the belly, arms, and face emphasise expressive highlights, while the squig creature below offers contrasting skin textures, from glossy wet gums to leathery hide. Details like the dangling helmet straps, knobbly fingers, jagged teeth, and improvised cutlery all give painters plenty of opportunities to flex their skills. The Gobbo Feast Miniature assembles easily, and looks fantastic with both simple tabletop techniques and advanced display-level work. Whether used as a feast-master, camp mascot, or comedic objective marker, it adds personality and humour to any fantasy gaming table.

🎨 Painting Guide

Overall Approach:
Lean into warm tones and exaggerated highlights—the sculpt is expressive and comedic, so bold contrasts suit it well.

1. Skin (Gobbo)

• Basecoat: Vallejo Game Color Goblin Green or a similar vibrant yellow-green.
• Shade: A 50/50 mix of Green Wash and Sepia Wash to create grime in recesses.
• Highlights: Push up to a lime yellow on the nose, cheeks, knuckles, and belly for a cartoony look.
• Optional: Add red glazes around the nose and ears for drunken feast vibes.

2. Squig Creature

• Basecoat: A warm red or orange (e.g., Vallejo Burnt Red).
• Shading: Deepen with Black Red or Purple for a fleshy look.
• Highlights: Mix in orange or bone to catch raised muscles.
• Mouth & Gums: Use purples and pinks; glaze with gloss varnish at the end.

3. Wood Platform

• Basecoat: Chocolate brown.
• Drybrush: Light tan to bring out wood grain.
• Detailing: Add green washes and moss tones for a swampy goblin feel.

4. Meat Haunch

• Basecoat: Deep red.
• Build Colour: Add browns toward the ends and pinks toward bitten areas.
• Finish: Add gloss varnish for that “freshly snacked on” shine.

5. Metal Bits

• Basecoat: Dark metal.
• Shade: Black wash.
• Highlight: Silver, with rust streaks for added flavour.
