Having seen Artizan Design's awesome 'Borderlands' goblin knights, and feeling a desire to do something to commemorate the life of the late, great Goblin King, I was wondering if there are any other goblin miniatures out there that fit that weird and wonderful Labyrinth / Brian Froud style?
-
Troll forged have a good little bunch.

Victoria Miniatures also has a couple, although they may be out of production at the moment-
-
Some of these may have a similar flavor (though I may be mixing Labyrinth, Legend, and other movies all together) :
Nightfolk miniatures

Darksword has some:

There was a thread about Labyrinth style goblins a while back here on LAF, maybe you can find it.

Aye, those. Andrew May sculpts. Nice wee gribblies. I still have some in the lead mountain, somewhere.
-
I have a stalled labyrinth project here. If it can serve as inspiration.

Looks like this project will be a lot of fun.
Do you have any idea of what you might use for the Goblin King/Bowie?
-
I reckon a bit of a conversion of number 10 of these chaos champions would suit. Might need to file some bits off too and apply some GS

The medieval zombiecide had a not Bowie-Goblin King. Lucid eye also has a rockstar that could be used.
-
This thread already lists a lot of labyrinth style goblins:-

I can second the Nightfolk minis, they're great fun. And the Northumbrian Tin Soldier guys do really good customer service as well.

Got a pic? Haven't seen that and can't find it :-[

This guy. http://arcanesceneryandmodels.co.uk/shop/lucid-eye-alien-rock-star-vip001-28mm/
Although he is more Ziggy Stardust than Goblin king.
-
Ridend from Relics by Tor Gaming should also work really nicely:

There's even the birds there - you just need to magnetize their limbs and heads lol
-
Some one mentioned the Zombicide Black Plaque Goblin King.

Alternative Armies have some great offerings for just this.

http://www.alternative-armies.com/products/oh30-goblin-knights-on-dodos-released (http://www.alternative-armies.com/products/oh30-goblin-knights-on-dodos-released)
I'm not so keen on the Dodo riders, but find the right mount and they'd be great.
These miniatures are old school, so quite fine. Definitely worth getting a couple of packs of the foot troops though.
-
Cavatore is partaking in a new Labyrinth board game in roughly 25/28mm...includes a lot of miniatures, could be worth looking into - only in very early stages. I'd "assume" a handful of goblins would be included.

For some reason I thought that was going to be 54mm? If you're talking about the one that River Horse is doing.
-
It seems more close to 25-28mm when he showed a test-mini on a recent Beasts of War video, I could be wrong though! He showed the big cuddly guy....and he stood about 35-40mm from the look of it.

I haven't seen the video, but I got this off the Facebook page. "The 3-up version of the 54mm scale playing pieces for the game, sculpted by Johnny Fazer-Alien. For more information, please come to our website and subscribe to our newsletter: www.riverhorse.eu"
(https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xta1/v/t1.0-9/11224575_10153660226097433_8081339420571327768_n.jpg?oh=63281d4a57a7368373e7526543e3b9fe&oe=572A6A29)
If the three up of Hoggle is 76mm then that would put the actual playing piece at 27mm and Hoggle is maybe Dwarf size next to the humans in the movie.
-
LOL, I just realized the picture I posted has Jim Henson to scale and if my understanding of three ups and math is correct that puts him at 40mm?
-
lol, well a good job they made it nice and simple with that scale picture!!!
What a terrible way to try and explain scale :P
Hoping it is vaguely 28mm, but not a huge deal if not. I doubt it will be a great way to get hold of enough 'Labyrinth style goblins' for any wargame.
I'm excited for it as a boardgame, but a good-looking one, so I don't mind what size they are really.

There's a few shots of other character sculpts on the last Beasts of War Weekender, including ones of a few both as the 3 Up and as the final size
-
Yeah, my understanding though is that 3-ups are not simply 3x the height. Either way, the miniature they showed of that big fella on the right really did look much closer to 40mm...so I think it's closer to 28mm-ish. With our luck, probably something weird like 35mm.
Here are screen caps...
-
Photos nt working there Elbows :)
I'm really interested in this. I hope that they are close to 28mm although if the game looks any good I may still get it.
-
hmmm...normal Photobucket link, not sure why.
-
Well if a 3-up of Jim Henson is 120mm, does that mean he has been shrunk to 40mm?
-
No, it doesn't scale like that. It's more direct. So, a 40mm figure would scale first to 80mm...then double to 160mm. (from seeing the screenies). My photobucket account is eating my photos sporadically, wth? :-X
Let's try this again...

-
So basically divide heights by 4 which would make Henson 30mm to the head (28mm to eyes?) and Hoggle about 18mm. Those scales would be great. Your pics look like they'd back that up too. Definitely interested in this. I want to see goblins now.
-
Eureka Miniatures Wave 4 of Chaos has the perfect goblin riders... but only 2 has been released on the website and wave 3 is due next week or two. They keep getting better and better - which is why I eventually seeing myself doing a Labyrinth project (helps I have some of Victoria Lamb's sculpts sitting in the pile; waiting).
-
They ought to call them 4 ups.
Edit: on second thoughts I think i see the point. x-up suggests adding a fixed increment x times, in this case the increment is the size of the original. So a 1 up would be twice the original size and a 2 up would be 3 times etc. Am I right?
I labour the point because I, like a lot of people it seems, always assumed 3 ups were 3 times the size.
-
I actually have no idea about the terminology..just assuming since that 3-up is definitely not just three times the height of the figure. lol
-
lol, I was thinking it more of an exponential type thing. doubling each time (except for that first one).
-
Yeah, same. I did see RiverHorse posted some pictures of Goblin cavalry on a random Facebook page.
-
MazeScale has released theirs:

@Elbows: This one? A beauty!

Yep, that's the one...looks promising (again, depending on scale).
