They're rather cool, aren't they?  :D Timely, too, as I'm hunting for just the right gobbos at the moment. Am I right in thinking that these will be for sale at some point? If so, and if you're wanting one possible punters thoughts, I love the faces and proportions, but would be keen to see some 'sword/dagger and shield' and some 'just a big pointy stick' fellows to join this lot. But that's because I'm looking for some trogolodyte-esque critters with a high medieval vibe.

Anyway, lovely sculpting as ever from the Hand of the Goblin King (dum dum dum dum dum-dum-dum...)

 These are the first five which will be going on sale in the next couple of weeks.Kev has done five more which will be due for release in the New Year.Also looking at cavalry for them too.

 I want these to be a bit different to other companies Goblin's.Not just nightgoblin clones.Something with a bit of character and an old school vibe to them.

 You might also like these that Kev has done.They are from another new company.

 Right here are some pictures of the goblins painted.Two set's of them done by James McLardy and Paul Sanderson.Both really talented painters which have done several miniatures for me so far.









 Let me know what you think of these then  ;).

 The bases are resin ones from Fenris games.

 Yes you can use the pictures for the blog.I had noticed that some are on already though.

 If you like these just wait until you see the others  :D.

Love them, especially the mutant guy, any more mutants to come?

I'd love to see a three-legged gobbo (a la Bogenhafen!)

Well you've certainly managed that - looking forward to the next set   ;D

I do like those too - jolly decent of you to mention another company in your own thread *thumbs up*

 I think it is best to help promote other new miniatures ventures too.It is a small industry after all.It is great to see more variety of miniatures being released.Always a good thing and it helps keep things moving.

 Just a quick update.I have put the goblins on pre-order due to ship on the 6th of December.Priced at £10.00 for the set of five.

Had a mad idea a while ago about recreating some of the Fighting Fantasy game books on the table-top - inspired by a brilliant post ages ago about a Scorpion Swamp gameboard - these little fellas would make excellent Marsh Goblins to populate it...

Got my hands full at the mo but have definitely made a mental note about them!

 Wait until you see the next five  :o.

 I like the idea of more mutated ones too.

I'd love to see a three-legged gobbo (a la Bogenhafen!).This sounds interesting any pictures?

I saw the goblins at Smoggycon, in the flesh, so to speak, and although Fantasy isn't my thing, they look like excellent minis!

The pic isnt that good:

If you're taking ideas the mutant gobbos with tentacles or mace tails would be lovely, as would chaos halflings!

These are great! Any idea how they compare in size with hasslefree (quite small) or black hat (rather big) kev adams goblins sculpts?

 The Goblin with spear measures 17.5mm to eye level.

 More mutated ones could be on the cards  ;).

 Chaos Halflings would be great to see too.Another idea to stick in the book.
