Old Hob's hobgobs

Cheers buddy. And thanks for the 3rd ed rule book. It's in much better nick than my original copy was 30-odd years ago! I hope you're keeping well.
 
Some lumpy Lund lads and friends.

From left to right we have Dwarf Maimer (Chronicle N12), Sileth Frothlip and Kudra Stunty Smasher (BC4 Mighty Ugezod's Death Commandos), Standard Bearer (DL2 Aly Morrison's Hobgoblin Warriors) and Hobgoblin Champion 1 (Oakbound Studio).

I'm trying to speed up and get the hobgobs finally done, which is probably reflected in the paint jobs to be honest. I still have several dozen of the wee so-and-sos to go + rocket launchers + cav... Anyway, onwards and upwards.

Here's the Oakbound chap alongside a couple of C36 slotta hobs. As you can see, he's a pretty good fit.

Thanks man. The painting on the Lund sculpts is a bit on the rough side, but they've been blocking progress for a while. Getting them done to any standard at all feels like a small victory.
 
Alan Perry, 1993

what's wrong with 4ed! while it was a bit of a shift with the creation of pre-made 'Special Characters', this was a bit of a follow on from what had started before. 4ed is my preferred version anyway so I'm bias.

Excellent mini and paint job!
What year did it come out? I don’t think you should fret too much about posts, the Oldhammer Police are not that harsh. ;)

Ello ello ello... have you got a licence for that Gobbo??? Your nicked me laddy. Anything you don't say will be used as evidence anyway in the court of Oldhammer law...

Not like I can say anything, most of my Bretonnians are Victrix and Perry plastics, they ain't GW or old, I'm a bigger heretic lol.


Hobgoblin looks great, love the shield design.
 
Thanks chaps.

As to year of release, Ghazak Khan was released in March 1999 (along with Oglah Khan's Wolfboyz) and given stats as a 5th ed. Dogs of War general in White Dwarf #231. The fluff says he's from the Eastern Steppe, and that he may be an advance scout for Hobgobla khan, so he's nothing to do with the chaos dwarfs.

Ah right.. sorry, It looked like one of the 4Ed hobgoblin wolf riders to me.. but yeah, that's a much later 5Ed figure. My mistake ^_^ also, that makes it credited for Michael Perry not Alan. though there was alot of uncredited swapping (It's like with old comics. often someone would get a friend to help out a bit and sometimes even draw a few pages without credit.. not to be confused with the ghosting wholesale scheme that people like Bob Kane did (I can honestly say, I have NEVER seen a 100% Bob Kane original. Have seen traces he did, swipes he did and alot of stuff other people did with his name but.. well, I think I've seen a couple of heads he draw on a wall but that was minor work)

If he’s old enough to drive, vote, marry and join the army, he’s old enough to Oldhammer! ;) :lol:

To be honest, I stopped paying attention after 1992, so had no idea these even existed until I bought one, which meant I had to hunt around to find out who/what it was. Great shout on Michael Perry. I wasn't sure about the sculptor.
