Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

No goblin legionairs! I'm sure I can't resist them; the good thing is they are not for sale yet (or is that a bad thing); for now I have the paint the miniatures I already have.

well...

at first - it's only a preview! :) all other parts, weapons etc are in work now
i think it will take several months 2 make all that i want to sculpt
second - the main idea that if dwarfs look like celts their enemies must look like romans
third - all heads will be interchangeable. now i thinking about interchangeable arms with weapons

Goblins?  multi-part goblins??

I dunno, between this and WK's endeavors, I think I will need a bigger crawlspace in my basement.  Not to mention the overtime I will have to work to buy everything...

Multi-part figures are the way to go if you want to sell whole units, IMO.  The bruegelburg figures are fantastic, but seem more like one-off, Mordheim-esque characters.  For rank-and-file its nice to have options.

Either way, I will be watching this with keen interest. Looks awesome so far!

These look great. I like the idea of goblin legions. And you can never have too many goblins.

I have to state again and again: You keep on being unfair to my wallet.  >:(

These heads are so cute and this stirs may crazy collector's persona and I will never get off this schizophrenia, hmmm be it so, I will again spend my hobby money (and that of all the others sharing the body of our host, hehe).

Gorgeous is just not the right word for goblins but they are...

Greetings and keep on being this creative in 2013

bytheway: A very good, healthy and prosperous year 2013 to you all out there!

Those heads look great....this will be a fun topic to watch you explore.

I like the idea of interchangeable heads...but IMO interchangeable everything might be too much....one of my favorite things about you other figures is that they are single piece castings.  Perhaps for goblins it makes more sense to have interchangeable parts as you would want so many of them but there are always compromises that have to be made to make them look their best.

So as you can see I'm quite confused on the subject.... o_o....I guess what I'm trying to say is that I hope you don't opt for inchangeability over character with your fantastic sculpts.

Cheers,

Blue

Those heads are truly beautiful. Like their style a lot and looks forward seeing bodies for them and hope for lots a static poses with spears - I could certainly use these for a shield wall :)
