Although it is an excellent illo, I think it needs to be redrawn. The kobolds have too many fingers. The Bestiary shows them with three fingers and a thumb. Plus they appear to be loosing. Not very realistic.
The kobolds obviously stole that mysterious "fourth" finger from previous gnomes they slaughtered. And they're hardly losing the fight... they're laughing! The one being "burnt" is just ticklish!
Although... it IS the cover to the gnome book, so maybe its just fey propaganda?

So the real question is: "When does Kobolds of Golarion come out?
Well, the Kobolds get their time in Classic Monsters Revisited. I don't think that they will be showing up in one of the companions anytime soon.

Really?
A race as important as Kobolds needs a much more thorough treatment then what has already been done.

They've received as much attention as goblins, they just didn't undergo a ground-up re-imagining. I don't think we'll see player-oriented companions for either race at least until there are thorough rules for playing monstrous characters.

I dunno... I think a "Goblins of Golarion" or "Kobolds of Golarion" would be pretty awesome.
They certainly don't need any special rules for playing monstrous characters, since both races are hardly overpowered compared to a human.

Written entirely in-character? :D

I would love to see a Goblins of Golarion book. My group recently played through Burnt Offerings and the high light of the game was the frenetic way in which the goblins were played by our DM. I kept imagining Gremlins in combat gear. The art of Andrew Hou throughout, maybe some Wayne England as well. I love his dwarves, it was a shame he wasn't used for the dwarf book.
This item would be insta-purchased by several players in my group no doubt about it.

That would be awesome. Sometime in 2012, maybe? ;)
I've been playing a kobold in Galnorag's Second Darkness campaign for over a year now and he's a lot of fun! We tweaked the race just a bit to make him a little less pathetic, but not much. Honestly, he'd be just as playable without the adjustment. Started off as a Beta Playtest for the Bard, and he's kinda grown on me -made it to Bard 8/Dragon Disciple (green) 3 so far.
I'm not a fan of gnomes, but the cover looks frickin' awesome!

Blasphemer!!!

But without gnomes, what would people do for exercise?
Nice mix, the very-fey Lini and a more classic not-so-fey garden gnome fella
I really don't like the look of the male gnome but Lini looks awesome as always.
You both should take a peek at the back cover of Seekers of Secrets, or page 59 of that book. :)
Accursed fey. We kobolds shall devour them and and save their suculent 4th fingers so we will now be superior to them in every way. Their vile propaganda shall not last. They shall rue the day they ever talked to a badger.

Arnistolienter Popswicker ascends to Iconic status?
But does he worship Nivi Rhombodazzle? ;-)

Punt nezumi?
Do we have any announcement of the important "Kobolds of Golarion" being added to the Paizo product schedule yet?
