New Goblins from Four A Miniatures

[Thantsants]

That sounds like it might be a bit of a plan Skurv - count me in for a turtle and howdah if you do have a chat with Nic.

Can't wait to see your steam-powered Dalek - Dr Who is another passion of mine!

I like the sound of those 9 pounders too 

Deafnala - if old Galapagos Jim there turns out as well as your last bit of Mega-Fauna (the hairy Rhino - can't remember her name I'm afraid!) then it'll be quite the centrepiece.

Talking of drinking establishments, I remember when I used to work Down South, there was a right old dive of a bar called the Purple Turtle in Reading - the sort of place you wiped your feet on the way out so as not to get the pavement dirty! Great selection of international bottled beers though 

There's also the old Grateful Dead reference you could get in somehow as a name - Terrapin Station.

I'll do my best on Jim or may be Jumbo Jimbo. He's from the same outfit that makes Lulu, the horny Girl you remember: http://s762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/DeafNala/WHFB/Lulu%20-%20The%20Land%20Waster/ . I wound up with two more of the rhinos also.

Michaels, my craft store of choice, carries quite an array of Beasties...even a couple Mega-Crabs...well "Mega" for 28mm minis.

Cheers Scurv 

Ah, good old Lulu - thanks Deafnala!

Here's the link to the rest of the range I've got painted up.

Thanks for the link...I had forgotten how UBERCOOL those Little Green Guys painted up. GREAT WORK!

Don't know if it's even a possibility, but I would love to see some Goblin Monks in this style--unarmed fighters essentially in rough traveling gear.  I know they don't quite fit the milieu these figures go with, but just airing my desires in the hopes someone from 4A might consider it!

An unarmed figure might be useful as a crew member - perhaps for a heavy weapon.

[Thantsants]

That all sounds more than reasonable to me - much obliged 

Merry Christmas indeed!

That turtle would look pretty sweet, Scurv.  I would be down for one if I hadn't bought so much other stuff this month  .  Hopefully some other members here can take you up on the offer and impress us all with their conversion abilities.

[manic _miner]

 Looking forward to seeing what happens with the turtle conversions.

 One set of the Goblins left if anyone fancy's them  .Proper release will be around febuary or March for them.

[Thantsants]

Hmmm - looks like I'll be needing some crewmen with a current and clean HAR (Heavy Amphibious Reptile) license... 

[Thantsants]

Seconds on the war turtle - got a few Gobbo's in mind from the older sets to convert up as crew...

[manic _miner]

 Everyone knows red one's go faster scurv .Looking forward to seeing it.

[Thantsants]

Sounds good Scurv - sounds like they just need go fasta stripes!

Would some kind of insignia or contrasting pattern on the crew's shells help make them stand out a little more?

I'm itching to paint my turtle (which sounds all kinds of wrong!) and it'll be nice to have it ready by the time I'e got the Gobbo crewmen ready.

[manic _miner]

 The Forge of Ice do some really nice turtle shell shields.Might work well with the turtle crew.

I had the privilege of painting the first set up and these new ones are a great addition to the line!!!!
Superb minis that they are.

[Thantsants]

Nice work indeed - would some kind of stripe or detailing in black or other dark colour along the top edges of the armour plates of the howdah create enough of a break to differentiate the crewturtles? Might be a bit easier than detailing the shells of the crew!

I reckon I can squeeze 3 Gobbo's in the front, 2 in the top and 2 in the back compartment.
