Hobgoblins of the mines and Goblinks of the air!

The Oakbound Kickstarter rolls on apace! With a third of the campaign left to go we've cleared 90%, so if you were holding out in case it didn't make it never fear, your pledges will ensure that it does. In the meantime I've been ensuring that there are figures ready to come out at the end of it. The last 5 sit upon my workbench; 2 completed, 2 nearly there and one ready for his extremities!


Once they're done I can start on the next fun project... yes Chico, and your Dorfs! ;) I've been searching for weeks for a goblin crew to fly my airship in the Oldhammer Ahoy battles next year and have come up with nothing remotely suitable. I want a pilot/biggles/dieselpunk kinda feel harking back to the wonderful "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines". And so, after lazing around on a wet morning in bed watching aforementioned film, here are my concepts for the Goblink Airborne Balloonists.

 
 

They are lead by the Commandant (there is nothing a Goblink Officer cannot do!) with the obligatory Pickelhaube for embarrassing popping moments. To patch up said embarrassing moments are the Patchers with their sewing kits. Forward (or occasionally backward) momentum is provided by Rotors whilst altitude is controlled by the unfortunate Dropper. Best not go into too much detail about how these goblins lighten their load... suffice to say the Commandant has a large meal before each flight!
 
When my new batch of Kneadatite gets here I should be ready to start on these intrepid airmen, um Goblinks!

Cute little flying kitty added to the Woods Kickstarter


Latest green off the workbench- a sweet little flying cat with a long tail and sharp claws! This is the Cuhuihui from the Oakbound Games kickstarter, which is on target to complete early next month:

Gates to Fae open.... The Woods Kickstarter goes live!

Thanks to everyone for their support with Oakbound Games' miniatures, with your help we've just launched the Kickstarter for our first full range of metal roleplaying figures!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/951486445/folk-from-the-oakbound-woods-28mm-celtic-roleplay

Now you can get on over to the campaign and reward yourself with one or more sets of these quirky little guys, plus artwork, glossy books and the chance to hang out with the BOGGARTS...

Sales pitch aside we're all very excited but the reality is we want to know if anyone else is excited as we are about these weird folkloric minis, so if you are, or you know somebody who is, please point them in the direction of the KS campaign and hopefully we'll get funded and you guys will get your nice lead figures!

Kickstart my art...

Finally The Woods Kickstarter is nearly ready to launch... now I'm sure there are more things to iron out than I'm aware of so far but the plan is to start the campaign on Thursday. Here's the first pic of one of the sets that will be up for grabs:
