Well, there's the Oathmark Goblins, but I'm afraid that they'll scale up to be about as tall as the metal orcs you're using right now.

The Oathmark goblins are quite small; here's a link showing how they scale with Mantic orcs, which are about the same size and build as the Mirliton/Grenadier orcs.

You get 30 for £25, and there are archers and warleaders in the box. You could easily use a standard-bearer (with skull-topped staff) as a shaman. There's no cavarly as yet, but I gather some is rumoured ...

Thanks for the answers! I really like those Oathmarks goblins. If there arent any wolfriders coming soon. erhaps it is possible to convert some using the GW range combined with Oathmark torsos.

What about using the GW LOTR / Hobbit orcs and goblins? The plastic orcs I imagine are hunched over enough and at a slightly smaller scale to appear smaller than most 90s GW humans which you've used. And the Moria golbins will be smaller still.

I've begun to introduce the concept of polyhedral dice to my daughter in the form of a made-up Paw Patrol board game. I loathe PP myself but it's working! Eventually we will move on to SoBaH with 'globins' but that's a few years off yet.

I love the map.  I decided our games really needed a map to not be so abstract.  My wife is my usual opponent, and I think it would be better to have a background.

It needs to be a small area, since we're doing skirmish.  No mighty armies conquering nations.  I could not draw the map you did, so have been looking at map software.

Could be worse... you could be trying to fashion a wargame out of Peppa Pig's adventures.  lol
