28mm Goblin Chieftain's chariot

I'm continuing with my "Old Skool" Fantasy project with a 28mm Goblin Chieftain's Chariot. Originally these miniatures were available from 'Games Workshop' in the 1980s if I remember correctly. I acquired this unpainted from eBay in really good condition with no missing parts.

As I'm trying to build a couple of Fantasy Hordes for my 'Dragon Rampant rules' comprising a Goblin army and a hobbit army, I've been drawn into starting an orc army as well. The boars are really evocative of these older metal miniatures. Regarding the paint job, I like my goblin green skins more of a darker hue rather than the bright green of older days.

So far referring to the 'Dragon Rampant Rules' army lists with slight modifications for the chariot, I've painted;
4x Units of Goblin Warriors, Type: Light Foot, 3points per base, mixed weapons +3points = 6points per base

1x Unit of Goblin Overlord and bodyguards in chariot, Type: Heavy Riders = 6points

Goblin Army strength = 30 points

The Chariot is based on a frontage of 80mm depth 100mm with homemade tufts, rocks, small tree scratch-built and the mushrooms come from 'Forlorn Hope games'.

This week I've acquired some hobbits from 'Forlorn Hope Games' but I'm trying to get some trolls next, probably from eBay. I'm not sure whether I need 2 or 3 miniatures for a unit of trolls.

All the Best, Peter.

28mm Goblin Horde

 In the run up to Christmas I've got into the Fantasy mood.

Here are four stands of 28mm Goblins, somewhat smaller than orcs, they were originally from Mark Copplestone's range I first spotted at Salute a long time ago, these miniatures are now available from 'Black Tree Designs', it did take me an awful long time to track these minis down.

Anyhow I'm trying to build a couple of Fantasy Hordes for my 'Dragon Rampant rules' available from 'Osprey Games'.

I really like the Old School style of minis so these will go up against a small halfling army I'm painting up at the moment from 'Forlorn Hope Miniatures' and Citadels vintage 1985 Lord of the Rings range of minis to fill in the gaps.

These Goblins will be followed by a Goblin Chieftains chariot and a base of Trolls which I have yet to acquire.

So far referring to the Dragon Rampant army lists I've painted;
Unit: Warriors, Type: Light Foot, 3points per base, mixed weapons +3points = 6points per base

4 bases x 6 points = 24 points

All based on a frontage of 80mm depth 40mm with homemade tufts.

Unfortunately, I haven't actually had time to try the rules out yet, hoping to do so over the upcoming holidays.

All the Best, Peter.
