Title: Goblins for Silver Bayonet
Post by: McYellowbelly on October 25, 2021, 08:05:34 PM
I know there will probably be 'official ' goblins released, but think these fit ok?
Reaper gremlins, with a few bits to make them look Napoleonic.
Think they look mischievous ne'er do wells who like to loot!

They remind me of Gremlins. Great work. Thanks for sharing.

I like them….mischievous!

You could also take a look at Alternative Armies ?   They have lots of Goblins / undead etc in Napoleonic garb.

Nice work! I'd love to see that little fellow firing his musket. How would he cope with the recoil? :D

Clearly it has to be braced into the ground and not the shoulder, just to reach the trigger.

Fun job!

These are tremendous!

Cheers all.
I like to think that these goblins dont plan on using the weapons as intended.
The musket is more of a stick that goes bang, recoil? whats that.
I like to imagine that the swords are flailed around without care injuring anyone near, including the wielder! :D

These are great.

I’m trying to avoid being tempted by these rules, as I have far too many eras and rules already. This kind of greatness isn’t really helping matters.

They were 'in action' last night!

Damn they are hard.

Everyone laughs at them, until they stab you in the knee.
 
Great looking game!  What model is that ruin?

Good luck copying them Pal.

The building is an old Ziterdes foam resin model repainted by Paul Cook, who also made the Goblin conversions.

Thanks!  Shipping from Germany to the US is quite astronomical, but found that Noble Knight carries them — currently out of stock, but now on my want list when they get it back in.

They look great remind me of the bogles in the monster blood tattoo books.

Thanks again for that tip on the ruins.  Mine just arrived from Noble Knight today.  I see on the Ziteredes website that their hard foam is insensitive to solvents, so I can just start spray painting over their base coat.
 
I think I'll steal the chequered floor pattern idea too!
 
I love the multi-level look of this piece.

I just painted mine with craft acrylics, didnt risk any solvents.
Quick dust of Halfords matt lacquer after painting was done.
Was a surprisingly quick paintjob

I’ve got a few Ziterdes buildings,and because I do a lot of oil washes make sure they get a good coat of acrylic paint and varnishes,so far so good. They are lovely,well worth the expense,and you don’t have to put them together,yay!
