15 Goblins but only 3 wolf mounts
« on: January 20, 2017, 02:14:24 AM »
Need 12 more mounts.



Wolves or dogs best for continuity but where might I find something compatible?

Those are the old 15mm Ral Partha wolfriders, right?

I had something of the opposite problem - three wolves surviving from my misspent youth, but no riders. But I accidentally acquired some of these riders (sans mounts) in an eBay job lot, and they fit perfectly. So I suspect the RP goblins would work fine on the dragons.

I can check tonight and see whether the 15mm.co.uk wolfriders fit on the RP wolves. From memory, I think they did, but the dragon riders looked more imposing. I suspect the Ral Partha goblins are small enough to go with those wolves (which are nicer miniatures than they look "raw", I think):



I think the 15mm.co.uk boars would probably work well - or better - too.

Hobgoblin,  those are nice!

TWW had someone suggest Copplestone 15mm wolves.

If you look carefully you can see some of the old Ral Partha Goblins on Copplestone wolves. I thought they went together very well.

Just about any small scale wolf or dog should work. I have a number of 15mm scale goblins from at least 3 different manufacturers, I mixed some of them just to get more variety. I have done the same with some of my 25/28mm goblins too. I also had a few riders that didn't have mounts, so I used a few exrta wolves I had sitting around. Just carefully pinch or spread the legs to fit.

These oldies from tinsoldier

Code DFA11, not too sure on the size of these though as I don't have any, and they only have the 1 pose.

I think Splintered Light Miniatures sells 15mm wolves without riders.

Peter Pig do some fairly big 15mm Wolves in their fantasy range.
"Some scientists say that humans exhibit a behavior called neophilia, which is a preference for new objects. It’s why we like shiny new things."
