How have you converted the goblin men

They are made from Perry WotR bodies and the heads from the Hobbit warg-rider set.  The heads needed a little work to humanize them a bit (losing the pointy ears, e.g.) and a bit of sculpting to make them seem somewhat less 15th-century.  Since they're molded onto their own bases (in addition to the slottabases), they come up to man-height, or even a tad higher, which matches the description we find in the text, namely, that they are tall and straight-limbed, basically human in appearance, but with ugly, frightening faces and sallow complexions.  It appears there are two varieties of goblin-men: one more mannish, to be used as spies and thugs, and one more orkish, which serve in Saruman's armies.  These are meant to be the former, but I might eventually get around to doing the latter as well.

I agree, lovely conversions. And great painting too.

Thank you!

Here are some "goblins." 









I love Moria Goblins.  I think they are the closest PJ came to canonical orcs: small, hideous, cunning, and surprisingly dangerous.  Strictly speaking, they shouldn't be in plate, but I think the design of the armor is very cool.  These will serve as the basic 'orcs' - in this case, orcs of the Misty Mountains - but I hope in time to convert some to resemble orcs of other regions (Dol Guldur is next on the list).  I keep painting more of these, so this isn't the last you'll see of them.

they are really nice  - I am just starting on some myself but love the prowlers and goblin drums! I hope mine turn out as good!

These are great. I really like the goblin-men conversions - perfect!
