(Spotlight on: Wolf mounts | Wolf mounts 2 | Wolf mounts 3 | Feral Orcs)

We had just been able to escape with our lives. The road by the old forest had been well maintained and easy to follow, and we hadn’t anticipated an attack. Swaths of Goblin wolf riders had swarmed us from all sides, killing the caravan guard and looting our wares. The woods to our back, we had only the option to flee there. It was a dark and murky place but not being eaten by wolves was a strong incentive. Old Wilhelm, the gnarly guard captain that accompanied me did remark that he didn’t like the place, but staying near the rim would have been our sure death if the diminutive Greenskins started searching the area for survivors so we ran as far as we could. We didn’t notice that the canopy grew thicker at first. Dense detritus and foliage covered the ground. Our steps muffled by the natural carpet of the place we felt safe. If only we had known that we had already breached several webs, alarming the inhabitants of those lands of our arrival. It became dark. For the dense woods or the setting sun we didn’t know but suddenly the void around us was filled by beady red eyes, watching our every step. Wilhelm saw it first, but it was no good. Another breed of Greenskin had closed in, riding atop spiders, adorned with feathers and other fetishes. Old Will fought with the strength of several men but when he was stung by one of the enormous spiders his movements grew slow and his face a sickly purple. I wasn’t fit for fighting and surrendered. We were dragged off and strung to a gigantic web – to be kept fresh for food or to be sold off as slaves we did not know.

Welcome to the next in-depth dive into a Greenskin stereotype on this blog. While there’ll certainly be some to follow that need further breaking down, but similar to the article on Savage Orcs some time ago we’re looking at a pretty basic roster. There’s some heroes, shamans and mounted as well as foot-slogging options. We’ll discuss a bit of lore, in what games you can use them and go over the models available and how I like them, because well yes that is a criterium.

1 What are Forest Goblins?
History and features:

Well, from the name of it it is pretty simple, isn’t it? A forest Goblin is a Goblin that lives in the forest, full stop. For Kings of War’s Greenskins it’s somewhat like that – a Goblin is a Goblin, use whatever model you like, but from the background they’re probably meant to be more technically advanced. But if you think about it it becomes more difficult. While a lot of Goblins mit theoretically live in the woods in their background (I mean even humans tend to live in forest villages in fantasy), the Goblins prove once again that they are a very adaptable species and rather than transforming their surroundings to fit their needs, they adapt to thrive in harsh situations. Forest Goblins most of the time don’t live in mere forests. They live in dense and dark ones. They also tend to get along wonderfully with the various critters there, sometimes eating them, sometimes being eaten by them and from time to time coexisting. The idea of Forest Goblins in a tabletop setting might have started with the first Orc and Goblin Army Book for Warhammer fantasy, but it’s such a broad idea that it probably was there before. While Tolkiens Orcs and Goblins tend to live in caves and caverns, there is an idea in his works, namely the Hobbit which is entwined with most contemporary Forest Goblins – gigantic spiders. While those might also live in caves, Tolkiens specimens dwelled the dark Mirkwood waiting for incautious travellers. In GWs first army book they are already there and bunched together with spiders – there are spider riders and the shamans communicate with the Big Green by being bitten in their tongue by smaller venomous spiders living in their mouths. They either die or get wonderful hallucinations. It’s very similar to Night Goblins eating and being eaten by Squigs they occasionally ride with the added benefits of not having to scour for some mushrooms to get your fix of psychedelic substances. Great stuff.

This similarity might have cost the Forest Goblins their place in subsequent renditions of the Greenskin rules. Until the 7th Edition army book there were a bunch of metal models (see examples in the section below), some spider riders, shamans, infantry and a boss on spider that looks too armored for todays standards, but I digress. With the Battle for Skull Pass starter set for Warhammer Fantasy in 2005 the forces of the Dwarves were pitted against Night Goblins – with some Spider Rider allies. The dynamic in the background is pretty well described by the Skull Pass novella, which describes them as replaceable pawns for the Night Goblin Boss. Their role in the rules was similar. There were no heroes, not even a themed spell or artifact. Only Spider Riders. Well you could mount your Bosses on a Gigantic Spider but that’s it, it’s technically still a normal Goblin. At least they got a plastic kit as well as the very well affordable starter set minis out of that and I own around 80 of them. 8th Edition gave them some more love. There was now a spell that gave your units poison attacks by praying to the big spider. You could now mount your heroes on Gigantic and Giant Spiders (although the latter didn’t get a model. Giant Spiders are the small ones your troops ride, Gigantic Spiders are almost double the size, at least concerning bases), there was Snagla Grobspit, a legendary hero atop a Giant Spider (without model), a magical banner concerning spiders and… the Arachnarok Spider, a truly monstrous eight-legged creature with a howdah of forest dwelling Gobbos on it’s back on an enormous 100*150mm base. Other than that Forest Goblins were still considered normal Goblins and that wouldn’t change anymore. Concerning game systems the small ones most of the time only have one kind of Goblin which you can model however you want. A notable exception being Warploque Miniatures’ Arcworlde, which contains Boglins as the more normal civilised Gobbos and Djungle Gremlins as their Forest Goblin equivalent.

After the end of Warhammer Fantasy (shame on you GW, I had 80 Spider Riders for that one cool scenario in one of the End Times books!) came several bigger wargames. As mentioned, Mantic doesn’t have any stance on Greenskin races, imagines them rather civilised but you can really take whatever you want. The 9th Age adapted 8th Edition pretty much with some neat changes to people that love Forest Goblins: first off: they can walk through forests without being hindered which seems pretty logical. They also allow you to upgrade your heroes to forest Goblins, which gives them poison attacks and the option to buy the two sizes of spiders detailed above. The normal troops can be Forest Goblins and gain the option to buy throwing weapons and gain poison attacks for their melee attacks (and because of this spears are more expensive for them). They also have to option to become “Creepers”, which makes them skirmishers that are harder to shoot but loose their ability to score. They got a nice set of defined rules here. Interestingly enough the crew of the Gargantula (spelled different for copyright reasons) doesn’t have poison attacks. Thanks for spotting that Remy77077 :).

The other route some players took after Warhammer had gone the way of all things was playing Age of Sigmar. While first edition just gave you new rules for your old models, the second edition of AoS actually published a new army book named “Gloomspite Gitz” for the Goblins. Normal Goblins were squatted and Forest and Night Goblins rolled into one book. Aside from a few spells and abilities and the Spider Riders there was nothing new here. Not even the option to field them as infantry. Although you could technically buy some models and say they’re Night Goblins but that’s not exactly what GW tells you to do.

So we have discussed one firmly established design element of Forest Goblins: they are associated with spiders and most ranges reflect that. There are those that have other animals (toads for Shieldwolf, Kiwis for Warploque, frogs for Steamforged Games…), but most have spiders. Another element might be a bit strange considering that in comparison to Savage Orcs, which are mostly depicted living in warm climates and thus based on African tribal cultures very often (you can read all about my thoughts about it here. I think it’s a bit problematic, but I won’t go in depth here), are feathers. Most of the time the Forest Goblins have colorful feathers as decoration, with the bosses having headdresses fashioned from them from time to time. This doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, having an American Indian style on models that are supposed to live in an European fantasy settings temperate forests, but on the other hand using feathers to dress yourself might make sense if you ride spiders – if small spiders catch flies, why wouldn’t giant spiders catch birds in their nets. So it’s recognisable, it looks neat and makes some sense lore wise even if I don’t think it was ever adressed that way.

2 The models:
2.1 Goblins:

So now here’s the part you’re probably here for. You know the drill: I’ll show you all the models that come to mind thinking of Forest Goblins. The Spotlight-on-series thus far had some type of point system, but Forest Goblins are difficult – are they savage? Sometimes… sometimes they’re just sneaky. Do I want to rate the number of feathers? Certainly not. Most of the time they are living in tune with nature but that’s hard to rate. So I could tell you how much I like them? But that’s not that interesting to you and I write it in the text anyways. I guess I’ll just give you the hard facts and the short of it in bullet points. Should you favor the whacky point system, let me know, I’ll definitely include that again next time as long as it’s possible and if you have good suggestions what I could evaluate share them with me, I could edit those in later 😉

Also: defining a Forest Goblin is difficult from time to time, there might be some you would count as such and I don’t and feel free to give me your opinions on this. For me it is a Goblin that is pretty naked, has little to know metal equipment, probably some feathers and sometimes a spider or so. If you live in a cave your probably out. So here we go – if I already wrote something on a company I’ll link to that article and you can have a look what they make other than Forest Goblins or want a link to their website or social media. If I wrote a review you can also click on that to see what I think of the models quality wise.

Games Workshop

Well start with the bigger companies as always so you know that you can build up a force quickly and add smaller fitting minis later. GW started with the style of Forest Goblins most miniature companies comply to until today. You got to love the old Goblin faces – the spiders come down to taste a little more. I personally love them but half of those spiders are very very hairy and their faces look as though someone shoved an Orc into a spider costume… Then again they have that oldschool charm. Here’s mine. Since I don’t have a lot of them I had to fill the unit with more modern Forest Goblins from the Arachnarok kit and the Spider Rider kit, trees, stones and even old Wood Elf Dryads. They looked evil and oldschool and well… I don’t really regret it.

The newer stuff I also quite like. While even more contemporary stuff like the Blood Bowl Goblins tend to have faces that look weird to me, I totally dig the Gobbos on top of the Arachnarok and that thing has been a pleasure to paint (I think it’s one of my best painted minis to date and one of the largest ones). You can always use the Goblins as infantry models as did I on my mixed regiment. I might have a few more sets of crew in my drawer. The Spider Riders are very neat models that can be found in quite the numbers since the Skull Pass Box included 10 of them. While those are great and cheap there is the option to go premium and buy a box of them today with a few more options. The Spiders are fine but a bit crammed onto the base. It makes sense due to the mandatory cavalry base but I’ve seen the models with legs spread out – which is a lot of work but looks great. There is of course also the finecast only (at least now, it was once available in metal) boss on Gigantic Spider.

• plastic kit
• options: spider riders with spears, bow accessories, command options
• the original Arachnarok with crew, a shaman and a net-flinger
• a boss on Gigantic Spider (resin)
• relatively cheap (3€ per rider)
• only mounted troops

Gork’s sculpts
(initial article)

I chose to put Gork’s sculpts next to GW for obvious reasons: they are very similar to GWs style and fit in with them seamlessly. The Spider Riders are exactly the update on the old sculpts that they deserve. The legs spread out more and the Goblins sit on them a bit more naturally opposed to the squats the other ones are doing. So… they are exactly how I imagine the Citadel models when I think of them until I see them again. An updated and better version, with 1,5 times the price – but since they are 3d printed by a small company that goes without mention and is a good price to spruce up your existing units of Spider Riders.

• nice update of the spider riders by GW
• only spears and bows, command options
• slightly modular: different body combinations and heads available
• 4,50€ per rider in the big bundle

Shieldwolf Miniatures
(initial article | review | Remy77077 ‘s review | Remy77077 painting a toad)

Shieldwolf Miniatures is the next big range of Forest Goblins on the list. Other than some heroes in resin and Toad Riders they produce a box of Forest Goblins including 25 models with options for spears, hand weapons, shields, bows and a command option at less than 30€ per box. It is a nice modular box with some drawbacks (like models having heads attached to them) but a lot of opportunities. I really like the design though, they are cheap as chips and if you want to put some effort in like Remy77077 did, they become stunning. The toads are odd to me but look cool. There’s also the Forest Brutgoth, a giant beast you can use as an Arachnarok with a howdah on it’s back. If you want to see it’s size I advise you to look at my review 🙂

Here’s Remy77077 ‘s small army of Forest Goblins mostly by Shieldwolf – I also smuggled a hero made by Shieldwolf in. Remy currently paints the Brutgoth, looking forward to see how it’ll turn out!

• the only infantry box set on the market
• toad rider cavalry
• dirt cheap at 1,10€ per infantry Goblin!
• plenty of options: bows, shields, spears, hand weapons
• customizeable plastic kit
• a bit monster and heroes available

Windmaster Miniatures
(initial article | review)

That’s it with plastic boxes. Yeah there were two. If you don’t like the Forest Brutgoth of Shieldwolf Miniatures, you should look at Windmaster Miniatures – they did a really nice and big spider. It’s smaller than the Arachnarok but big enough to be a fitting substitute. It was a pain to build though and the crew on top of it doesn’t screem Forest Goblin to me. For 28€ it’s a steal though if you’re willing to put in the effort.

• a big and very cheap spider
• hard to build, not for beginners
• resin

CRAZY Mushrooms Studio
(initial article)

Crazy Mushrooms Studio recently started another Kickstarter, which makes the STL files from the first Kickstarter available again – wich is pretty nice considering it includes a new Spider Rider, bringing their total to 7 including a command unit. There’s also an Arachnarok with a howdah and a shaman:

• only STL format
• a whole unit of 7 Spider Riders with spears and full command
• might be hard to get on cavalry bases. If you’re playing Age of Sigmar that doesn’t matter
• dynamic poses on the spiders
• a new Kickstarter that makes the models available again
• should you have no printer or miss the Kickstarter, you can buy physical copies here (thanks for pointing out Remy77077!)

Red Nebular Patreon
(initial article)

The Red Nebular Patreon offers up a surprising amount of Forest Goblins to print at home. Since subscribing lets you access all older miniature files, for £8,50 there’s 3 sets of command groups for cavalry and infantry Goblins, 10 Spider Riders, 18 Gobbos with spears and 15 with bows. There’s also fitting Trolls and probably some more Forest Goblins in the future, so keep your eyes peeled.

• very cheap option if you got a 3D printer
• solid design based around spiders and feathers
• originally designed for 10mm gaming but tested for scaling up at 200% for 28mm gaming
• reinforcements expected soon
  

Warploque Miniatures
(intitial article)

Warploque Miniatures Djungle Gremlins have a very tribal theme to them. They also feel like they are sneaking around tree stumps and crouching down, so they feel somewhat like rangers more than standard troops, which might be excellent for the smaller units of creepers in the 9th Age. There are 5 guys with spears and bows respectively, shamans, head hunters (for use as sneaky gits should you ever want to play them as normal Goblins or in 8th edition) and my highlight: the bosses. One sits proud atop a shield carried by two lackies and one is riding a Death Kiwi. I always liked those… The models are really characterfull and if you like metal minis most of them are made out of white metal (the only exception I own is the mounted boss). The sets of 5 are £14 though, so they’re not the cheapest to build a unit.

Here’s my small collection of them:

• around £3 per Goblin
• white metal
• very strong design
• plenty of infantry options

Scibor
(initial article)

While not the first pick that comes to mind for Forest Goblins, Scibor supplies some really nice primitive Greenskins. Their cavalry wears armor so they are out of the equation, but the infantry has 14 different sculpts of very fat and naked Goblins, clad in pelts and leather and carrying weapons fashioned out of bone and stone. I only have the boss, but he fits in very well into my forces I’d say. They do have chainmail loincloths but those really disappear under their massive bulk. They are similarly priced to Warploques’ miniatures at 46€ per 14.

• ca. 3€ per Goblin
• unusual design space (fat Goblins)
• one piece resin models

CP Models
(initial article | review)

One of the first reviews I ever did was on CP Models and I recently placed another order to get my fingers on their Jungle Goblins. While the sculpts are rough in places they are on the more affordable side of metal miniatures at £6 per 4 Goblins and I really like their oldschool style. They painted up nice and fast as well. There are 15 individual Goblins available which doesn’t sound much but is pretty good in the small niche of Forest Goblins.

I also painted the whole range of those Gobbos:

• cheap metal models (£1,50 per Gobbo)
• 15 different sculpts including a shaman
• rough but easy to paint sculpts

Heresy Miniatures
(initial article)

Another company selling a whole unit of forest dwellers is Heresy Miniatures, who sell a set of 16 including command models for £30 and a shaman on offer. Couple this with the casualties and you’ll get a minimum sized unit for most games. There are 5 sculpts of normal Goblins with some having individual bows so you can vary their poses a little bit. Although they’re not naked they look wild enough for me to qualify and the pelts they dress themselves in fit the theme well enough.

• ca. £2 per Goblin
• very lean design
• slight customization possible by twisting the bow arms
• only archers and a shaman

Knightmare Miniatures
(initial article)

Knightmare Miniatures produces some of my all time favorite Kev Adams models. They are huge though. If you can stand a bit of variety in your units though there’s 13 different troopers and a shaman on their shop, named Feral Goblins. This fits them well and the poses vary from animalistic tracker to full on berserker. All of them dress in animal skins with the heads used as a hood. Great models for around 3€ a pop.

• very big and bulky
• great design
• only melee weapons (some of which are unusual – polearms and dual wielding Goblins)

Titan Forge
(initial article | review)

At first I had overlooked them while writing this article since I mostly remember their undead Greenskins and pirates. Then I remembered the one unit out of the undead range meant to replace Ghouls: Goblin cannibals. The only thing iron with them is their giant cook pot and they adorn themselves with bones pierced into their skin. It’s ironic I forgot them at first since I actually just painted the rest of the little buggers and the first part of the unit years ago. The sculpts have pretty hard edges and look rough in places but the do have a unique visual style very fitting to Forest Goblins. I don’t think the scenic bases fit the theme though but those are a nice bonus at 8€ per 5 Goblins.

I painted them – there’s at least 7 years between the units and a plethora of style changes…

• few options
• feral look but rough sculpts
• resin models with only 5 variations
• different weapons, probably best suited as basic melee weapons

Steamforged Games
(initial article)

I just recently discussed Steamforged Games here and while their set contains 20 mixed miniatures it might be hard to build units out of just them. They do however have different weapons mixed in and if you use the snail and the frog riders as unit fillers you might get a cool unit out of this 45€ box.

• only available in a box full of different stuff
• nice unusual mounts
• cavalry, heroes and infantry
• some sculpts are in the box multiple times

Fenryll
(initial article | review)

This is another company that doesn’t specifically produce Forest Goblins but some of the normal Goblins might fit in really well due to being decorated with feathers. They sit somewhat between Night and Forest Goblins with their wide clothes and hoods. It’s a shame though you can only get them in sets of 4 for 10€ and only one fits the theme. The boss for 10€ though is really nice and might be a cool BSB, so if you like the style go for it.

• resin miniatures
• only available in bigger sets with minis that are not suited as forest Goblins

Med Fan Games
(initial article)

There’s only one Goblin I’d put here, but the Aztec style might be some peoples jam and with his giant sword he’s probably a pretty rad boss. He is made in resin and costs 12€.

Tiny Bastards
(initial article)

Those are pretty classic Forest Goblins, naked, primitive and with feathers. There are only 2 and they are $10 however.

Zolotoy Dub Miniatues
(initial article | review)

Most Goblins here are armored heavily but in the Goblin Sneakers set for $19 there is a very nice Forest Goblin drummer. I got them from Zolotoy Dub directly and only the Goblins at that – there the Goblins were only around 10€. Like Fenryll it feels like an investment if you only want that one mini, but on the other hand some companies sell their minis for that price per miniature so I really can’t complain.

Seb Games
(initial article)

Not Forest Goblins per say, Seb Games sells some sculpts of the old Harlequin Miniatures that Black Tree doesn’t. Amongst them are those 2 spider riders for £7. The riders are Night Goblins and they don’t really fit with the other option for spider riders but maybe you like monopose or only need two…

Splintered Light Miniatures
(initial article)

Splintered Light Miniatures has some old Bob Olley sculpts, a few of them fit the theme if you like the style. They’re certainly low-tech enough.

Midlam Miniatures
(initial article | review)

I really like the Goblin townsfolk by Midlam Miniatures. They also sell some older sculpts though, including a few sets of “Goblins of the free Forest” for 3,50€ per individual miniature. Those are pretty oldschool, and I don’t feel like all 12 of them look primitive enough to be Forest Goblins but some of them might work for you.

Spellcrow
(initial article | review)

There’s only one Goblin from Spellcrow that fits the billl and it is the aptly titled “Goblin with Frog”, which might make a nice unit leader for £6,50, that will fit in very well with the headhunters from Warploque:

MaxMini
(initial article | review)

I could’ve sworn there were specific Forest Goblin heads by MaxMini, but I can’t find any pictures. However there is a set of 10 heads for 7€, that includes 5 sculpts, with which you can make your normal Goblins more appropriate for Forest Goblin regiments:

Avatars of War
(initial article)

Avatars of war recently released some STL files for Forest Goblins on Patreon (they are usually available on Myminifactory afterwards) – this month (June 2021) is Goblin month after all! 1 of the 3 batches has been released so far, so I expect more to come. If you’re lucky you’ll still get them among other Goblins for 3€. I really like the spidery one. Will it fit in a regiment? Probably not, but it’s really creative!

Cult Miniatures

While at the subject of 3D-printing I should also mention Cult Miniatures, whose June 2022 Patreon rewards includes a bunch of Forest Goblins. If you’re reading this at a later point you should check out their Myminifactory account. The Patreon is only 6€ for 3 versions of Arachnarok, a full regiment of modular spider riders with different weapon options and a bunch of parts, two heroes on spider and a few shamans, so basically all you could wish for. The Arachnaroks files also contain infantry legs so you can build those buggers on foot with the parts from the spider riders. There’s even huts, spiders without riders, totem Goblins and palisades for them in the 13€ tier, so you can even build a gaming table themed around them.

Build your own!

Yes. I should have thought of that “simple” option – user Amplebob on the 9th Age Forum suggested using available Goblinoids like Gnoblars and converting them using feathers, since let’s be honest, they “forestyfy” models very easily. A source of those could be feathers from the banners of GW Lizardmen/Seraphon which are leftover anyways. There’s probably some 3d-printeable feathers available as well. I*ll have to look into that idea, thanks Amplebob!

2.2 Spiders

Now for a few honorable mentions I’m going to cover a few spiders. There are many more but those would come to mind when people would ask me where to get a Gigantic Spider or just a unit filler. There are tons more out there since spiders are very generic opponents in all kinds of RPG adventures, so Reaper and Wizkids will probably cover you with cheap and easy options as well. There is of course also GWs various spiders from the Lord of the Rings range like the Mirkwood Spiders or Shelob.

Alternative Armies
(initial article | review 1 | review 2)

Alternative Armies sells some really big and juicy spiders for £6 a piece that will fill out a 50mm base quite nicely. I like the design but building those resin-metal-hybrids was a pain. They look exactly like what I was searching for at the time though.

Red Dragon Miniatures
(initial article)

Red Dragon Miniatures have a giant spider that will fit on a 40mm round base for £12. It looks really evil and thus fitting for a boss.

Spellcrow
(initial article | review)

Spellcrow just now released a Giant Spider that’s still on preorder for £13. It’s supposed to fit on a 60mm square base so probably really big.

Wargames Atlantic
(link to their shop, article to follow)

Probably your only option if you want Giant instead of Gigantic Spiders with freely poseable legs. You also get 12 Giant Spiders and 12 smaller ones for $35. A friend of mine bought some to put his Skaven on top as cavalry for his Ratkin army. Which is an ingenious and fitting idea. There’ll also be Goblins to put on top by Wargames Atlantic.

Crooked Dice
(initial article)

Crooked dice sell a pretty big spider for £30, which might be a nice Arachnarok if you manage to get some Goblins on her back. There’s several smaller spiders you can use as unit fillers for £4 per piece as well.

Ristul/Bad Squiddo
(initial article)

Thanks to Bad Squiddo Miniatures Ristul’s Extraordinary Markets scenery pieces still exist and you can still buy the spider nest and spider eggs sets for £16 and £8 respectively. I used those bits to fill out the base of my Windmaster Arachnarok.

Crippled got Foundry
(initial article)

27€ will get you a really neat set of spider themed terrain. They had spiders once but those seem to have been phased out sadly.

All pictures in the article above belong to their respective owners. Pictures not belonging to companies are marked as such in the text below them.

3 Final words and my gallery:

Similar to the Savage Orcs, Forest Goblins are quite the niche. There are only a few box sets available and most companies only sell a few individual models. Luckily we play an army that handles different styles of models in the same unit very well. You can also work a lot with unit fillers. Why not use a generic tree stump or a tree? Coat it in some spider webs and there you go. Still, if you want your army to be cheap and have them look as uniform as possible you’ll have to stay with the bigger companies and their box sets. If you have a 3D printer you can get a cheap and very nice looking Arachnarok from Crazy Mushrooms Studio. If you don’t, at least for the Forest Goblin trope you’re only missing out on one company. Do you have any Forest Goblins? Which are your favorites? Let me know in the comments below!

Here’s my small army of Forest Goblins and I think they look pretty good together (at least from a model perspective, my painting style changed way too often to have a consistent army):

I also sculpted my own spider as a mount for a BSB. I used broken down spears as a basis for the legs, a Giants hooved foot from GW, a lot of Green Stuff and a normal Skull Pass Goblin with an Orc banner:

Some other models I wanted to show you are some older miniatures that didn’t fit in neatly above. I just painted 24 Goblins from the Legend of the Five Rings Clan War range, I picked up at Crisis 2019 (here’s my haul of that event) from the pictures and all I could find there should have been 4 individual sculpts in there, but I only got two, giving me 12 copies each of two sculpts. It sucks at least a little bit but mixed in with others the work fine. They are supposed to have an Asian style but to be honest they’re pretty naked and chucking skulls so they work for me:

Another unit of really naked Goblins is actually made up of 15mm Trolls from the Demonworld range (you can still get them at RPE). A friend sold them to me for very cheap and I needed a use for them and I think they work very well as primitive yet bulky Goblins. Sadly there are only 2 sculpts and a boss and I only got 19 so if I don’t want to mix them I’ll have to use a unit filler:
