Just wondering what miniatures people have settled on
can't decide on what to use for the pixie, changeling or possesed
havn't settled on a suitable hobgoblin yet either
-
For my ogre (my name for the hobgoblin, since AFAIK "hobgoblins" are benign in folklore), I used a Mageknight clicky figure picked up for pennies at some flea market, armed him with a Mordheim greatsword and added a tricorn:
-
he looks like he means buisness

For my ogre (my name for the hobgoblin, since AFAIK "hobgoblins" are benign in folklore)
Yes. This. I've never been able to square the description and stats of the Hobgoblin to the one I'm familiar with in British folklore (seems more of a GW/Tolkienesque take) so have substituted it for a "Wirry Cow", which has nothing to do with cattle but is just a generic Scots term for a monstrous beastie, which could cover just about anything, and be far more suited to the book Hobgoblin's description. I have my model, but not painted yet, but rest assured The Wailin' Wirry Cow of Glendarroch will be the first suprise waiting for my unit...
My Changeling is just going to be human painted to look a bit "elvish" (again, I have the model)... the possessed is causing me problems though. I have a few potential candidates in mind, but nothing concrete. Goblins are my other issue. I can't find anything that really sits with my image of how a British goblin looks; all the commercial figures are just GW style big eared, big nosed greenskins, or more cutesy bullshit. I do have one idea, but not sure how much mileage it has...

I used a Gnoll from the WOC DandD range.

For the Hobgoblin I useda Wargames Foundry Orc but painted in human flesh tones
-
that works very well.

They all look really cool

Ooh, that is a good hobgoblin, well done!

I did the very same thing to the same figure! Great minds!

Myself I am taking the 15mm approach to "Silver Bayonet" I have just received my order from Ral Partha,

This order contained Goblins, Orcs and Trolls. I plan on basing them soon. In this order I also cultist, sorcerers (leaders for cults) Vampires and a few other figures.
I have ordered from Splintered Light as well
Ghouls

I also ordered Spectors/ Ghost and Ghast.
I will be ordering some witches soon too.
My plans are to use Marines and Naval Officers from Stonewall Figures.

I've been toying with that idea too
how do stonewall compare scale wise with AB miniatures?

I don't know I haven't order them yet. I am planning to do so later this month. I don't have any AB figures to compare with. I may have to take a look and see what they have.

took a punt on a pack of British rifle officers - they look perfect for modding

That is a great find, thanks for sharing. Looks like they all can work together really well. Looked at AB's figures and there are a lot of single figures that can work for my needs, thanks for the heads up on those.
My overall plan is to is to use a ship and 15mm "Pirate Figures" from Blue Moon and Rebel Minis as part of the ship's crew, and just go from port to port, the shore party will be the Hunter Teams staying in line of the 100-point system. However, I need to have a port garrison of different nations. The plus side to all of this is I can use everything in my Fantasy Pirate games "And a Bottle of Rum".

At the risk of sounding like I’ve been living under a rock … what’s “Silver Bayonet”? Is that like Solomon Kane? Thanks.

I sent you an email with the details, that I felt would just be too long to post here. I know you would really enjoy this game with your great imagination.
