Goblins from the Mines of Moria

As a slight deviation from Incursion, Vikings, WW2 and other worthy projects in progress I finally got around to getting those Goblins of mine (pun intended) posed and ready for a shoot. But first a little background blurb:


I'm not really a big fan of the GW goblins. It's not because of their quality, everyone knows that GW products are great sculpts thus commanding a high price tag. My issue has been the cartoon-like appearance of their overall look.

But ever since the LOTR films I knew that THESE goblins were destined for my collection. These are the coolest Goblins yet!! If you own the DVD boxed sets, you've more than likely seen the design of these creatures, their armor and weapons. I can really appreciate the time devoted to all their detail and love how much more warlike and evil they look. 

Love them shields!!

And cool poses, too!

BTW - the box came with Elves (barffff) but I won't be painting those Nancy boys... 

Viking Long Ship - DONE

"A Viking we will go, a Viking we will go..."

Well, she's ready to go. All she needs is a hearty crew of adventurers and carls that's ready for anything.

 

Here's my Moria Goblins using the Long Ship for a midnight landing raid to an unsuspecting village.

 "SSSSSS... Keep quiet, ya maggots! We need to catch these men asleep and snug in their beds..."

Here's a few of Willy's Vikings (Gripping Beast) to ambush the Goblins in the woods. 

Still waiting on Wargames Factory to send me my Vikings!
