 Right here are some pictures of the goblins painted.Two set's of them done by James McLardy and Paul Sanderson.Both really talented painters which have done several miniatures for me so far.









 Let me know what you think of these then  ;).

Very nice....

Gotta know,  what was the inspiration for them and especially the two headed goblin as I don't think I have ever seen a two-headed goblin before?

I'm diggin it.

 Citadel used to do some Goblin mutants years ago.They had all sorts of mutations.He is just a homage to them.Might be a few more coming along.It all depends on how people take them.

 As for inspiration.I wanted Goblins which werre not just Nightgoblin clones.Something that most companies seem to do.These are a bit different but still usable for all games with greenskins in.I want to create a new class or sub-race of them.

That will be three different types of Goblins that will be in the Four A miniatures range.

Would some of these types happen to live in swampy/jungle terrain and the other in the desert?

 When I say three different types I should have said "There will be Goblins from three different sculptors".

 That is not saying Goblins of a Swampy nature will not be coming out  ::)

 The painting is great on these.I amvery happy with the different look that James and Paul have given them.

Great work! These are awesome.

 The new Goblins are away to the mould makers now along with some other pieces.Some of the other greens are Ogre,Sea Demons,Dwarf(with long finger nails ;) and Cultists.There are a couple of surprises to come too.

 2011 will see loads more miniatures released from Four A miniatures.Keep watching and maybe buy a few  ;D.

I was hoping for some Dwarves before Talamania, but I can wait longer for them.

 I now have two set's of Dwarven axemen sitting upstairs.

 More miniatures have been sent away to get some paint on too.I have just recieved a message saying that the Cultist miniatures are done.

 I hope to have the Dwarves out in about six weeks time.The weirder stuff just seems to sell better.The extra dwarves might change that though.
