About the Project
3d Printable Goblin project, Sculpted in Blender and test printed on a Anycubic Photon 4k mono. Loving old style full of Character minis from the eighties and early nineties, I decided that the modern goblins just didn't inspire me. So I figured I'd try my hand at making my own.

started to pose mech and refine the Cybergrot to have a goblins arm in his hand not a head.
For my game at least, its goblins vs goblins so a human head is out of place. Plus it was pointed out on discord, that it looked to heavy for him to be holding it like that.
The mech needs details and a pilot seat, but is going well.
Having a break from details and clothing
I've started a mech using a sketch I made. No details just getting an idea of shape.
Refined the Cyber grot idea into a better pose.
This is also a test of rendering the model fast and making a turntable video.
Robogrot idea development today.
Boring pose, but I like the idea. so will keep working on it. Another idea post, not a final model
Move over Tony Stark, behold IronGrot!Playing with ideas
Not sure how this will work in my game. But could be a fun model.Progress with the clothes...
Basic shapes done now to sculpt the folds.Test colours on WIP models
Nice being able to see how colours will look even when the model is so far from finished.Golden Button! Thank you
Thank you for the Golden button and the kind words.
Sorry, I have no idea why I choose to use an old gamer tag as my user name. My names Pete.
Yes Gerry I am working on the goblin heavy weapon team, but its not very far along yet. The Minis will be broken into two different factions. Military themed and cybernetically enhanced. Maybe more after that.
The Game..
I worked out a skirmish game with 8 characters a side to begin with. Both sides will play very differently, I have tried to have just enough of the old green skin ridiculousness without making the game to random.
Each Character/unit will have a card that is drawn from a shared deck for activation. When a Character is eliminated you choose from a hand of themed event cards to replace the killed characters card in the deck. This acts as a balancing mechanic and also it doesn’t feel as bad if you lose a character early in the game.
I’ve tested with test prints and its quite fun so far.

Trying to get better at modelling using splines.
The chain was made using a object duplicated along a spline and repeating the links in place of each object. Its harder than it looks.
Adding more goblins to the group, This one is based on my early pose test.
I found it better to make a few models like this, then go back and add details and refine them. I want a big group and progress is picking up.
Lloyd shot, Happy with the folds in the clothe. I am wondering, I have a little skirmish game I've made for these minis, Interesting?
I made a little skirmish game with cards for each of my minis, It needs a bit of work but I was thinking of including it with 2 gangs of models as a kind of print and play starter pack. Should I spend time on this or just get on with making more minis?
I need a better Camera Grrrrr
A terrible photo as my phone won't focus without better lighting. But proof they do print.
A name if I ever sell miniatures
A non existent website is being made.Wip on Goblin on wheels
No details added yet, I like the idea of mechanic limbs. But half goblin half bike? I've seen orcs like this but not goblins.
Need to make it look more like the bike is part of him.
