I may get that spider and then get Kev Adams to resculpt the faces on all the goblins.  ;D

Kev must love you!  lol

I quite like this breed of Goblin faces. I really enjoyed painting up my Night Gobbos from skull pass.
Luckily, GW are re-releasing the old metal Fanatics (not the Kev Adams ones), I have some of those and a number of the more recent ones.  :)

I'm afraid I can't comment on what they did to my poor Goblins without going into a flaming rant.
While I still like quite a lot of what the Citadel Guys produce, G.W. is just in it for the $s, & their target group of consumers are lads of around 12; ergo, BIG creatures & the new MEGA army of the month are the way to go...of course, that is just my opinion such as it is.

I know which side my bread is buttered Goblin-wise - Long live the Goblinmaster!  :D

Got to agree about the mega armies - all a bit OTT and no GSOH...  ::)

are we harkening back to the good old days when gw focused on releasing miniatures first and worrying about rules later?

it sounds pretty impossible to me.

<snip> I mean are they only now realising there are 3 story tall spiders in their forests?

Maybe glasses haven't been invented yet?

Since I am a known GW "hater" (so I am told) I won't go farther than that.

I don't want to see the flies it catches... or any other "prey" species...

Gracias,

That spider will look great once I get some Kevin Adams Goblins on it.   Oh wait,... I could just buy a big plastic spider down the store and make a howdah for ten bucks.

Meh... that's just fscked up! =( GW are raping Warhammer worse than George Lucas raped Star Wars with the prequels. These are the model equivalents of fast paced editing, loads of CGI explosions and extensive blue screen acting. No soul. =(

So in character with Games Workshop stuff, its just so OTT its getting rather boring, sure the kits and sculpts are great, but the prices are not and there is not the time nor the attic space to park more crap for WH that we eventually get bored with and can no longer be bothered to paint.

GW is like a dying sun, first it will get -very- big and then it will slowly collapse into itself like a neutron star. I don't find their stuff really appealing anymore, and I am planning of selling the GW stuff I have.

But apparently it likes to strip them, make them cross their arms and gag them first...  :?

They'd look better trussed up like Frodo after his encounter with Shelob...

I really quite like all the upcoming Orc & Goblin releases. The complaint that they look like toys is a bit odd from a forum that features loads of projects using toys from Poundland and the like.  ;)

Perhaps the differnce is Poundland arent asking 30 to 50 quid for a plastic spider?
