Like the title says, I am looking for examples of painted BFSP goblins that were not done in the standard night goblin scheme.

Thanks!

Back in the day, mixing in red or yellow or blue (though not generally all three at once) wasn't uncommon for Night Gobs.

I have seen a few painted with brown robes and someone who had done a few goblins with the robes having moons and stars on them like the kids halloween wizard costumes.
Sorry no pics on hand of either.

Why not do white KKK outfits? Or red cultish goblins.

What is BFSP?

BFSP= Battle for Skull Pass

I like the idea of red cultish goblins

Battle for skull pass.

It was the recent dwarf & goblin set.

Take a look at the original AD&D Monster Manual's Goblin entry. Gygax gave different color schemes for Goblins fur/skin. I've never been thrilled with the green skin thing (Gygax used different, non-green, colors for Orcs, as well). I painted my Goblins with a brick red skin, and they look decent, IMO. YMMV. Cheers!

I was refering to robes, not skin. GW greenskins can look good in a surprising variety of other skin tones.

I use a dark skintone like a Drow for my goblins with red and khaki robes.

An older White Dwarf had an army painted Smurf style, blue with white clothes.

Da Warpath Orc & Goblin forum. Check the "Army Blogs" and the "Painting and Hobby" sections. A little bit of poking around should give you just the sort of examples you're looking for.
