Finally I get to tell folks about these!  :D

They were a blast to paint up, and the heads are loaded with character.  My favourites are the ones with no hat or helmet.

These are wondeful, WK!

Timbor has done a great job with them and really sold them.

It must have shown on my face, either that or I was mumbling aloud, as my Missus just looked and said: 'Dont tell me, more little men that you NEED?'

If only she knew just how accurate that question was....

Want these - and as it's my birthday next week it's perfect timing. Just wrap them up and I'll pretend I didn't know :D

Jokes aside, when will Pete have these ready for us?

And just between you and me .... :) wasn't there something else you wanted to show - something magic ?? ;)

I LOVE THEM!!!!

Despite having well over 100 halflings left to paint I will still be putting in an order for at least 20 of these to start with.

These are dream for anyone wanting to put together a mass force of halflings with some many options on offer.

I hope these sell really well for you.

Great. The gobbo's haven't received a lot of love, so hopefully this will change that.

They were a blast to paint up, and the heads are loaded with character.  My favourites are the ones with no hat or helmet.

Mine as well, it's where the character in the faces really shines. You can see on a couple that Kev had a bit of a hard time to make the transition from sculpting goblin heads with the first ones, hence a couple "naughty" looking ones, but after that he really got into it.
 
I hope these sell really well for you.

I hope they sell too as that will decide whether the goblin/halfling range gets expanded further or not.

Jokes aside, when will Pete have these ready for us?

And just between you and me .... :) wasn't there something else you wanted to show - something magic ?? ;)

They should be ready around the end of the month. As for that other question, this weekend, after I've had a chance to edit some pictures of them.

Yeah I noticed that as a few were looking rather gobliney/evil/naughty which adds some variety to cheeky looking halflings instead of the usual fat and happy looking bludgers you have on the market thus far.

Last group of new sculpts that will be included in the upcoming late August/early September release are the goblin clerics and wizards, by Kev Adams.

I'll start with the Clerics of Gob (aka "Gob the Almighty" or "The Great Gobbo In The Sky"). Clerics of Gob go into battle wearing light armour and wielding enchanted battlehammers or flaming swords. You could of course use these as armoured wizards and substitute the weapons for those from the wizard sprues.








Then there are the wizards themselves. These come with three body variants, 4 goblin wizard heads and a load of left and right hand options.

The heads are: "pointy wizard hat"-head, "pointy hat and fake beard"-head, "My head is on fire and I'm totally cool with it"-head and "I'm wearing this skullcap and spectacles to look smarter-head.

Right hand weapon options include: "gnarly wood"-staff, curved sword, comical wand and flaming sword.
Left hand options include: "moon emblem"-staff, flaming sword and mystical hammer.







And for those who don't like the idea of goblin wizards, there's a set of alternate heads to turn these into halflings:



Some random assembled examples (obviously some heads work better with some bodies, but there are enough options here to give some nice variety):

That bottle is long gone - probably better go get another one, cause this is going to take long getting through all of them.
