While John is working away on more dwarfish goodness, I couldn't resist the temptation to ask one of my sculpting idols, the great Kev Adams, to do some of his iconic goblins for the range, kitted out in landsknecht gear. And they look pretty fantastic, it looks like Kev really strived to make these some of his finest goblins yet, surpassing all expectations.
There are 4 poses to start with. There are 6 heads that fit all 4 bodies. 3 of the bodies have interchangeable weaponhands (spear, halberd and two swordvariants) and a separate shield. The 4th is armed with a handgun and will receive more options after moulding.
More detailed pictures showing the possible combinations will follow when I have them in hand, but I couldn't wait to show you these pictures Kev sent to me.
The models, assembled with blue-tack:

The blog dedicated to the painting and collecting of Renaissance themed fantasy miniatures in the 28mm scale, including my own little private venture to commission specially made figures with that theme. The latter are not, at present, intended for a general release, but perhaps something can be arranged if you'd like a couple...

They will be a perfect match to kev's Foundry ogres/war orcs, excellent!
ReplyDeleteYes, I always felt that was lacking from the Foundry range, a good set of goblins to go with them.
ReplyDeleteAs for your Merc Army fluff, Blue, if GW could have orcs and hobgoblins as Regiments of Renown, you can surely have some almost civilised goblin mercenaries in your force. ;)
