The Hobbit: Escape From Goblintown

The release of The Hobbit movie and miniatures from Games Workshop saw a surge of orders here of the Hobbit miniatures. Three sets of The Escape From Goblintown came in to do for customers. In addition, there's a bunch of the other miniatures that came in to do as well. To make our lives simpler we started with The Escape from Goblintown sets and did all three together to speed up the process. Here's one of the sets and a bit of other stuff we also did. A later post will cover some of the other items, like the orcs, trolls, etc.

Here's the miniatures out of the set:

The Goblinking

The Goblinking's Throne

The Goblins

More of the 36 Goblins that come in the set

The Heroes out of the set

The Goblin Scribe and a few other pieces

These are the giant eagles. They do not come in the Escape From Goblintown box set:

Here's the platforms you get in the box set. There's two large pieces that make up the main platform and four ramps; only two are shown here:

This is the expansion box of Goblintown platforms. This set has a couple of two level walkways/ ramps:

The models were pretty nice. Few needed assembled but those that did went together no problem. One thing we did notice is that a few of the dwarves and Rhadagast did not exactly match the movie versions. Some liberty was taken with regard to their clothing. Not a big deal unless your are particular in those details.

28mm WWII Germans and British Paratroopers

Here's some WWII British Paratroopers and some Germans. The figures are mostly from Warlord Games' Bolt Action range with a few from Crusader Miniatures to fill in a couple of spots.

First up the British:

Next up the Germans. These are the Bolt Action plastics, with the mortar team in metal from Crusader Miniatures:

15mm Fantasy Dark Elf and Dwarf Armies

Here's two 15mm Fantasy armies we did up for sale. We've been admiring the Splintered Light figures at shows for a while but with a busy schedule it took us a while to pick some up to paint. We started with a Dark Elf army and a Dwarf army.

These were fantastic figures! Very clean with very little clean-up required. They have great detail and character to them as well. We liked them so much we also picked up an undead and an elf army to do later.

The Dark Elf army:

The Dwarf Army:

We painted these armies up as stock for our table at the shows and for sale in webstore. You can find them in the store here:  Evil Bob's Webstore

By July we should have the undead and elf armies done as well.
