Lovely gobbos as only Kev can sculpt, and the marine theme would fit right in with something I am doing... Might actually pledge, because I have a use for those lizards as well. not sure about the sea-demons... sahuagin stand ins?

No interest in the goblins but I'm having me the sea demons to finally give my little guys some ranged support. I think I asked a long time ago but I don't suppose there are any plans to add an extra variant Swamp Hound at any point?

Also you really do need to add categories or something to the Four A Miniatures web store, you have a bit too much stuff for one big list now.  lol

Gorgeous.

 Many thanks for the replies.

 Some of these pieces have been sitting in boxes waiting to be released for several Years now.

 I have to say that i have been really lucky to have had very talented people help get these pieces made and brought to life.From concept art,sculpting to painting and not to forget the mould makers too ;).

 In my head the Goblins and Sea Demons are life long opponents.The new Spikers as Paul Muller called them fire poisoned spikes.These can kill or have another effect on the Goblins.If the Goblin is hit and does not die he starts to decompose and that is why one of the Goblins released so far is in the state that he is.A living hell for him that is fueled with hatred towards the Sea Demons for putting him into such a state.

 I have plans and concept art done for more Goblins and Sea Demons to help expand the ranges.No plans on a game as i think there are lots of good choices out there already.

 The website does need to be sorted but funds are limited just like my computer skills ;).As to more Swamp hounds i would love to see more variants of them in the future.

 The little lizards could go with the Goblin who has the trident and sword.I picture him as a beast master type.

 Cheers

 Andy C.

Some wonderful sculpts in the campaign, Andy.

I hope you dont mind me posting a couple of shots of some of your Sea Demons painted by a lesser mortal...?

These little fella's are The Boglins from my British-themed Strange Aeons campaign where they use the stats of Tcho-tcho.

These were painted pretty quickly using simple drybrushing and wash techniques.
The detail on the figures is such that even this method can produce pretty decent results, I reckon.
I shall have to acquire a few more members for the tribe, I reckon.

 They look great Paul.Nice colours on them too.

 You seem to be missing a few though ;).

 Paul Muller did a great job on them all.You should see some of the other pieces that i have to release by him.Then all of the pieces that Joshua Slater has hidden away will make a great collection of weird little races.

 David Powell the concept artist for the new Goblins has sent me a link to his latest blog entry.This one show's his collection of Four A miniatures Goblins that are out so far.David has done quite a few conversions in the force.Well worth checking out if you like Goblins.

The Little Fiends look WONDERFULLY WHIMSICAL with a scary little twist to them...my kind of whimsical. AND they paint up BEAUTIFULLY...the LOVELY bases finish them off in FINE FASHION. VERY WELL DONE as always!

 Just a quick update to let people know that the KS is into it's last three days.

 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/866987250/goblins-and-sea-demons-wargames-miniatures/description

 The total is now over £3,000 which i think is great.

 There are some freebie pieces which have been unlocked for any pledges of £20 and over.

 Many thanks to all who have pledged and are helping to get these onto gaming tables around the World.

 Cheers

 Thanks Tim.

 It is great to see it doing well.I was not sure how people would take to more Goblins.They are a bit different though ;).

 2017 will see more Goblins and Sea Demons too.Concept art is done for them and more new projects including some 15mm miniatures.
