Chaos gobbo

One of the great suggestions I got when asking what to include in my oldschool nurgly warband was chaos goblins. 

Now, my first and only warhammer army was nightgoblins. In 40k I play orks. I've had no less than three greenskin bloodbowl teams - one orc and two goblin teams (although one of those teams are painted blue to look like smurfs). Suffice to say greenskins are close to my heart so I jumped at this oppurtunity to model some different looking gobbos.

Adding to that I had already made the little nurgly bellringer which, like the standard bearer, fitted better in the Old World setting than in 40k and fitted my vison of what a corrupted gobbo would look like. So I promptly rebased him and then got working on a buddy. I decided to make this one less mutated and came up with something that looks a bit like a greenskin version of a skaven plaguemonk. He´s also pretty similar to these rather excellent old minis from the now sadly defunct french company Rackham: Goblin Mutants





The two gobbos side by side. The pair will eventually be joined by a third member. 


I'll leave you with some work progress shots of the hooded little troublemaker.

  1. Nice to see these... I am planning a unit of Chaos Goblins for my Oldhammer project using the old metal Night Goblins as the base... horns, tentacles, extra arms, etc will all be conversions and the color scheme will hopefully make them less... err... Night Gobliny.

  5. Perfect. So happy you liked the idea on the gobz!

    Have you thought about trying out Gnoblars as a base for the 3rd?

    1. Thanks buddy!!
      I might have done that if I had any gnoblars.
      I dont so I'll probably stick to goblin and zombie parts and whatever else I can scrounge up. Gnoblars are a bit too small as well - I see chaos gobbos as somewhat heftier...
