Hi everybody
Sandpoint is in trouble! A nefarious band of Goblin misfits, led by the mysterious Gobdolf the Green, is on its way to sack the town!
Men, sharpen your swords! Women, lock up your children and dogs! The goblins are on the move!
Hope you guys like the photo, here's a bit of information about it -- It all started with a wacky idea...a local band of gamers and miniature painters decided it would be fun to play some goblin roleplay. Naturally we love the Pathfinder goblin miniatures, and so armed with a sharp knife and glue we decided to "improve them". All of these goblin miniatures are what we call conversions, we cut off parts from pathfinder goblins, Crocodile Games weapons and bits, and a few Games Workshop plastic gnoblar bodies -- We blended them together in the mixer and glued them back together randomly, and viola! Instant Goblin PCs! (just kidding, it took a lot more planning than that and two blenders were involved.:-) )
Each figure was a conversion by a different member of our gaming group in Staffordshire, UK. We will post close ups of each of the figures as well as a few interesting tit-bits about them.
Here is the first of the Goblins "Gobdolf the Green" -- sorcerer and leader of the misfits.
On a balmy summer afternoon, the local wizard's dirty laundry was being washed by his lowly apprentice. While the wizard's star and moon hat was left to dry, the wandering goblin called "Gobdolf" spied it hanging on the line and thought "I'll ave me sum of dat!", hopping over the fence and stole the hat! Convinced now that the hat is a powerful magic artifact, Gobdolf has manifested sorcerous powers... And has renamed himself "Gobdolf the Green"!
He has since convinced a band of goblin rogues that he is infact a powerful wizard and together they are roaming the hills outside of Sandpoint causing mischief. He is pursued by the wizard's apprentice, who seeks to retrieve his master's hat at all costs...
Gobdolf is my conversion and paint job. His body is a GW gnoblar plastic body, with a Crocodile Games Pathfinder goblin head. The hat and wand are both free-sculpted out of green putty. He took about 4 hours to convert and paint.
The second of the misfits is "Arkar the Flamebringer" -- Cleric and purger of all.
Where Arkar's vocation came from is as mysterious as it is diverse. He keeps his secrets close to his fiery chest.
Arkar was converted from a Crocodile Games Pathfinder pyro goblin, it was quite a simple conversion with only a weapon swap (crocodile games weapon sprue) and a 'holy' symbol (GW plastics symbol). A small amount of green-stuffing was required around the mace's handle and the symbols strap. All in all this conversion took me around 2 hours to finsh and paint.
