After recently receiving the Midlam Miniatures hobgoblins (and started to paint them already!) I decided to write a bit about how they fit into my Althammer setting...

I like what you are doing with this. Another very well painted group.

As for the Alternative Armies Hobgoblins, I remembere reading somewhere that they were released mid nineties and sculpted by an (ex-)GW illustrator. Might have been Mark Gibbons.
If you don't believe in lead, you're already dead.

Not sure of the history of the Alt. Armies hobgoblins, but I wish there were more of them!


I'm back to my wood elf project for the Old World Army Challenged. Finished my 15 archers plus a few other figures for Feb:

If you like classic Warhammer, it's worth a look at the rest of the entries/projects on the site as well!

I really like the aesthetic of your darker palette for the wood elves.

Thank you! I'm going for a look of a band of dark, weathered hunters.



I painted the first of the Midlam Hobgoblins. Related to a recent blog post as well as my re-purposing of the old Citadel "Hobgoblin Despoilers", these have been adopted as hob-orcs.... er, half-orcs and painted as such.

I'm very happy with them -- both the sculpts as well as how they painted up! Looking forward to painting some more.

I like what you are doing with your hobgoblins/orcs as well. Fits my preferred aesthetic for Orcs in general.

Lovely stuff. Those Midlam Hobgoblins look brilliant, like a really disreputable bunch of mercenaries, and the wood elves are looking great in the subtle weathered pallette

Thank you!


Hobhounds. Midlam Miniatures. I wish there was a second hobhound design for variety, but very happy with the quality of the sculpts and castings.

I like those, they look brutal.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

My wardancers are up on the OWAC site. Grimmer. Darkerer. No frolicking tree huggers here.  :wink:

These are all with double handed weapons. I've got another regiment with dual weapons coming up in a few months.

These look great, definitely a bit more 'Rambo' than 'Hippy'  :D
Also looked through the last couple of pages of your thread and your blog, some amazing painting and I really like the 'Alt-hammer' setting you've created for your armies.
Thanks for sharing

Clever color scheme on the wardancers... reminds me of Arnie as Conan the Thief.
