Progress report -- the lizardman submasters arrived yesterday and I'm very pleased with them. It's 16 poses, 6 with primitive hand weapons, six with crude spears, and a command set of chieftain, standardbearer, drummer and shaman.
The hobgoblin army is well underway as well. The sword poses are made, six poses with a big straight sword and a large rectangular shield, for troops that fight close together and form a shield wall as they stab through with their swords.
Next to be made will be composite bow archers and war scythes to protect them from mounted, a sort of bill and bow unit. The mounted will then be made, riding on entelodonts. Then command of course.
Kobolds will follow, as will several other iterations of lizardmen.
For a while I was worried about making lizardmen and hobgoblins, as both are very large, very fierce low level monsters, but now I'm quite pleased with the mix -- I realised they are like fantasy versions of Romans and Celts! The hobgoblins with their heavy armour, rectangular shields and stabbing swords are like disciplined legionaries, whereas the lizardmen, charging wildly at high speed in a mob, emotionless in the face of injury, are like Celtic fanatics. I can actually see the two fielded as armies using those two historical army lists! (Early imperial Romans and early Galatians probably best.)
