Goblins from Troll Forged: update- painted pic.
« on: June 22, 2011, 07:51:02 AM »
New from TFM


I've a slight bias in posting these as I sculpted them but I thought some of you would enjoy them still. I've just primed and basecoated them, will update when they're painted. It's always nice to get castings of minis that you've created so you can see how they've transfered to metal. I learned a lot when I started the basing and paint jobs, there are a few things I'm not happy with on reflection but I still think that their character outshines any crudeness in them. Hope you like them.

They're perfect for 'Labyrinth' like goodness. Have you any more in the works?

Really nice, I do agree that the character shines more than the slight imperfections.
They are very Brian Froud which is a good thing are you going to expand this range ??? I could see these being used along side the twilight range  :)
I Agree that metals can look very different to greens, Its amazing how some sculpts gain and some lose something in the moulding process.

I am sculpting some goblin "knights" on foot atm and a drummer and standard bearer to go with the ones above. There are bigger ones planned too, kind of "orcs" for them. I'm behind with another commision so they'll be a little while yet.

I really like them.... :)

Faces and proportions are brilliant. And I do love the helmets.

For a dungeon-thing I would perhaps like a little bit more variety in poses and wepons... ;)

As an admitted Goblin Guy, I'd rated the Lads as OH-CO-COOL! GREAT LOOKING MINIS!
As a replacement for the Orcs G.W. inflicted on Goblin-kind, I've been kit-bashing UberGoblins out of Orc & Goblin parts. As such, I'm looking forward to your take on the Beasty.

 :) they are not crude in my humble opinion,my only hesitation about them is the apparent thinness of their weapon hafts for me and my (as my wife puts it "paws") would find them a bit fiddly,with me trying not to bend them all the time. :)

Nice. With 'knights' also in the offing, a nice range will be created from these. I wonder what they will be riding if/when not done on foot, hhmmm???

No one in the UK carries TFM I'm afraid but Ed is very good with orders and a really nice guy, he's helped me out a lot as an aspiring sculptor.

@Odo, I've not thought about any mounted ones but time will tell ;)
