Warhammer Forest Goblins
|Yet more Forest Goblins, this time armed with bows.
Originally the Arachnarok crew figures were going to be more active Spider Riders, but overall, they didn’t work well curiously. However, I did note fully half the group were archers – then looking at spare bow arms from my Night Goblin parts I realised, with some careful cutting, I could remake all the Arachnarok spearmen as bowmen.
And so, the Forest Goblin skirmishers were born.
I hope to acquire another Arachnarok crew and fill out the group to make them able to sustain casualties taking on foolhardy Bretonnian adventurers.
The parts used are all in the image below; the quivers carved from the gripped arm piece and the outstretched bow arm suits the small wrists of the Forest Goblins.
Thanks for reading!

Wow I love watching this army come together. Such character, such attention to detail and a strong theme to boot. I can’t wait to see you start painting. This really will be an army to be proud of.
Thanks Timothy 🙂 I’m going to do a house sit for a few weeks shortly; aiming to quietly paint up the collection then. So for the next few days, serious amount of modelling to complete 😀
Quite nice work. I keep eying the forest goblins in hopes of being able to make a foot unit from them, bit had not considered an archer regiment…
Thanks, they’ll be needing greenstuff straps and touches here and there – but clearly going to work. I see them as skirmishers like the Empire Huntsmen – sneaking through the forest loosing off arrows then skulking away toset another ambush. As a full blown regiment, probably not due to the rarity of the Arachnarok crew models. 😉
Wow! Seeing this published just 3 days before Shieldwolf’s announcement (http://www.beastsofwar.com/shieldwolf-miniatures/forest-goblins-swarm-kickstarter-september/) makes me wonder how this project of yours ends up!
Very interesting regardless 😀
Well now sir, this I must check out! 😀 Thanks!
WOW – talk about similar minds! He’s like half my foot force already – CRAZY! 😀
These have inspired me to make a small Warcry warband in this theme. Just need to find a way to get a similar themed model on to a wolf/spider/squig!
Top stuff 🙂 Send photos when theyre done man! 😀
