Hello, and welcome back to my blognt. I redid the design of my blog and I wasn’t really satisfied with my first iteration of my sun squig blog. So I rewrote it as i worked on new sun squig projects. I got carried away making stuff for this, but i think its cool to see how an idea can change and develop as time goes on. Plus this will be a good archive of my work. So...

the Sun Sqiug! A design from October 2023, for the Goobins Gitz CaveMuncha sculpt-a-squig competition. This was one of the first instagram miniature competitions I tried, and I won some beautiful metal goblins from it. The sun squig is still one of my favorite designs, and I think that's because it's about as simple as you can get. Squigs are such a simple idea of just a ball with legs so there’s a lot you can do with them to make them unique. Since goblins usually worship the moon, I thought, what if they worshipped the sun? So of course they would have sun iconography instead and worship a big beast shaped like a cartoon sun. Oh and I also made this digital squig for the 2024 sculpt a squig competition. It’s kinda cute. I was trying to design a sci-fi squig for 40k orks.



Last year I converted a few of my many many goblins to have sun iconography instead the traditional moon iconography and now in full swing into finishing the rest of my green skins. Thats because of the sketches of a game by GoobinGitz aka Erick, called MOB RULE. The big idea is that you get one big base and stick all your goblins on that one base. I saw him start building a mob and the gears immediately started turning. He actually built his mob using one of my models, converted into a huge nasty troll. Its a sculpt of the greater idol of pilgrimage, a creature designed by Simpsominiatures.



I started building my mob by fitting goblins and squigs together like a puzzle, as many on one base as possible. I started with an amazing lunging squig by my friend goblin bakery. And I paired that with the pointing noselda directing the charge, another of his amazing sculpts. The rest were decided by whatever fit. The squig herder by wolfbaker was a perfect fit under the leg of the charging squig. And the brick squig hiding in the back was a perfect platform for noselda.



It’s a lot of fun, everyone should make a mob! I had some trouble with the back of the mob, since goblins wouldn’t be seen, and i only have so many tall trolls. So I went seatching on eBay. I found some lovely backwards facing squig hoppers. Perfect for the small space at back of the mob. It also helps with the forward charge movement of the mob. When I ordered the squig hoppers I asked the seller to throw in an extra model. And unbelievably he actually did! So I got a cute lil chaos knight. All my loyal followers, you should start following in my footsteps and get fun loot boxes like me. And i might start a chaos knight force now. Tho, the downside of eBay is that all of the cool old hammer models are really expensive. So im thinking of sculpting my own version of any old hammer model I see on eBay.



Speaking of sculpting, I’ve been making a few sun themed goblins to cast up at some point. I think this will be the set for now. Unless I have a great idea for another goblin.

I now have the issue of painting the goblins. My old sun goblin scheme is okay. They cool, but I wanted something more colorful. I just did base coats of red and green and blue, then did a dark green wash over everything. Pretty simple but effective. Then I can do touch ups from there. In addition to painting they need a background to take pictures in. I have some sunflowers which would be just perfect for them. I’ve been wanting to up my miniature photography game. ivegot to work on the terrain backdrop. Finish paining them. Cast my new sculpts im very excited and reinvigorated with my sun squig guys
