The snow really looks like snow. Great work. I'm very curious about your star players.

They're looking great!! Please keep us posted as you go.

Old WHFB Special Character Grom the Paunch in his Chariot may be a good start for the big fat goblin...

LOL... These are great! I made a Santa Goblin Squighopper last year for a friend's birthday (she's born on X-mas day, the little urchin). Funniest project I ever worked on, but the fur trimmings all around the robes were a pain in the *ss to sculpt...

If you plan on adding a sleigh or something, the antlers from plastic brettonian knight helmets make perfect antlers for Rudolph the Red-nosed Blue Cave Squig and his pals

Are you gonna do some fake beards and candy canes on them or something?

a fake beard on the bomber is a certainty, and maybe on a few others too.
still thinking about a sleigh, but I did think I could have it pulled by wolves or squigs

currently working on a "catcher" figure - he's got a huge xmas stocking on the end of a stick so he can catch the ball a lot better!

Again; look into the WHFB "Grom the Paunch" Special Character; a big fat Goblin (he once ate uncooked Troll-flesh) in a Chariot pulled by three wolves.

It could be perfect...

Sculpt a ball-shape down in in the stockings for added realism

Even better, try to find an old casting of him (from before the white metal era) - I've replaced his head, hands and legs with those of a new Goblin and he looks a lot better (as a Big Boss in my Goblin horde). I did the same to Niblit (but kept the original hands). With the new metal, snipping off Grom's head is nigh impossible

yeah I checked him out - looks pretty good.
will probably get him once I have found the 9 or so regular goblins I need for the team!

Credit where it's due. Thads did it first.
(Check the Painting Comp thread in the Archive Section...).

I honestly didn't know. I've checked the Archive section and although all the pics are now long gone he blatantly got there first :-/
oh well, great minds and all that

lol...first off all it was entirely unintentional...secondly the Death Roller in question is in his avatar right now.

Nice work so far by the way! Show us some more.

Oi David... Maybe you can use these wings for your Goblangels:

You'll have to wait for the release of the new Sister of Battle Codex though.
