I'm having some troubles here.
How would you paint the armour of a moria goblin?
Whatever I do, it always looks too shiny.

I wrote a guide for painting gundabad orcs some time ago and the armour method would also work for Moria goblins, see HERE |

Thanks! That's a good read, but technically I've done the exact same as you describe there. - Primed black - quite a dark silver base layer - Agrax Earthshade (GW brown wash) - some silver highlights. I'm just wondering... The Agrax Earthshade is a shade from GW. What's the difference between undiluted brown ink and a 'shade'? Or is there no difference? |

No difference at all. If your model is drying glossy and shiney trying shaking your earthshade to within an inch of its life. I changed to army painter inks for this exact reason. |

Ah, thanks for the tip. It could be that I didn't shake the shade well enough. I just bought a new one since I ran out and maybe I forgot to shake it first. |

Alternatively, you can paint it black then dry brush silver over the armor |

I usually do that with other characters and especially on chainmail, but with those tiny goblins I just can't drybrush it right. I stirred up the wash a bit and it now works good enough, but there's still room for improvement. I'll keep practising. Here are my first 3 goblins:

Warg looks great, goblins are good too. A great first conversion. |
