    Oh yeah. And so is the Ogre Kingdoms lore from the 8th in the same way.

    Particularly enjoyed the Maneaters.

    Those look a bit too tall and spindly for Warhammer Goblins and Hobgoblins, but good try!
    These on the other hand are especially fitting and pay nice tribute to the GW models, especially the Battleforge ones as those look less like 4th Edition models and more like latter-era Fantasy models. Good finds!

    I think so too. As soon as I see them next to some warhammer minis and confirm that the scale is correct (and they fit on 20mm bases), I will jump on board with these. I like them better than the Russian Alternative minis

    The Russian ones look pretty good too... I'd like to see a picture of them painted up nicely to judge between them I think.

    They are pretty cool too. It is hard to judge because the pictures of the Russian ones are so poor. I personally like the pointer noses of the Mantic models better than the slightly more rounded bulbous ones of the Russian Alternative sculpts. Another big advantage is that the Mantic ones are hard plastic, as opposed to resin like the RA models.

    Very nice models, both for Chaos Dwarf Hobgoblins and bog-Standard Gobbos - sculpts reminiscent to the old GW ones only better, plastic, affordable, all the options on the sprue - what more could you want?

    Only that they scale up well with my GW models and rank properly on 20mm bases. As soon as I can confirm that, I'm in! I like them!

    I need to save up some money first, but once I have some funds, I will likely do that.
