Not sure on these - the pics make them look over-armoured for me, but I think I need to see them "in the flesh".
No SW shown yet either(?)

They're not quite what I was expecting but they still look cool. Might go for the pirate themed Hungry Troll goblin team but I'll pick these up for an Underworld team I think to go along with the Skaven I already have.

They look quite large, but I think the models have potential.

Like Darkson I want to see more pics, ideally them unpainted. Am very interested to see what the new weapons look like.

All of the new sculpts are not to my taste.
I'm so glad I'm not in need of miniatures any more! :wink:
Well, except for those yet unrevealed new secret weapons...

When you have only have 6 or so unique models, why are two mirror images of one another? I think it's something about their faces that makes me unsure.

Most companies/independents making Blood Bowl teams are making all unique sculpts, and what does granny do?

Derp.

Not a fan... I am probably too old, but I prefer the 5th and 6th ed Warhammer goblins. ...Glad my team is made from those plastic models.

I like the models but the heads. But that is easy to convert using other heads from goblins fantasy or gretchins.

Waiting to see the SW and of they are going to release new trolls.

Not what I expected at all...

At first glance they seem far too heavy and armored for a gob, and I miss the goofy and mischievous look they used to have.
May have something to do with the paint job, so I'm looking forward to see the plastics or a less fancy photographic production.

I wonder if they have race specific balls...

How does he carry more than one bomb, or is he now one time use like a wizard?

Hmm. The goblins might be okay. I don't know why they raise the brightness on all their mini photos to almost be washed out, makes it hard to tell what the actual minis are supposed to look like. Not too crazy about the SWs.

Did the SWs come with the old Goblin team or did you have buy those individually? Or did they have their own Secret Weapons 4-pack? I bought all of mine off of Ebay, so I don't know. I kind of doubt the SWs will be released in the Goblin team box, as that would mean a lot of extra SWs if people buy more than one team box.

I'd also agree that the Goblins should be more whimsical/silly. Gobbos and Halflings are the two teams where you can lighten things up a bit. The SWs especially, don't look funny at all. Maybe with some head swaps, I don't know.
