Shieldwolf’s Forest Goblins Swarm To Kickstarter This September
August 12, 2016 by dracs
Shieldwolf Miniatures have announced that they will be returning to Kickstarter this September to help fund their new multi-part hard plastic Forest Goblin army.
These Forest Goblins promise to have a classic style to them, which I personally rather like. The Forest Goblins were always my favourite sub-sect of greenskins and the prospect of a whole army of them is an exciting one.
Shieldwolf have already made a number of miniatures for more standard goblins and should the new army follow their previous model we should get some pretty nice sculpts.

What do you think of Shieldwolf's past selection of miniatures? Will you help fund this Kickstarter?

Been after some forest goblins to bulk out my Orc army for a while, not prepared to pay the crazy eBay prices for the old GW metal ones so if these scale well with my GW goblins we could have a winner
Forest goblin foot troops you say …… dammit trying to shrink the orc and goblins to a manageable size not expand them. Going to have to watch this carefully 🙂
By the sounds of things from you, your a perfect candidate to break that promise to yourself 😉
Always foiled by my own weakness for nearly all things greenskin, or shiny, or ….ok minis, and games @manpug
I am weak don’t judge me
Warhammer 4th edition flavour!
That said, no need to make this trooper multipart (except maybe the shields^^) ;o)
Looks really promising. I love the Mountain Orcs they do, although I don’t think I’ve seen much else of their stuff.
They did this recent:

Previously they had tried to launch a kickstarter with both Orcs and Shieldmaidens that they cancelled even though it had technically hit it’s funding goal (they weren’t happy with progress of the funding and weren’t sure if they could make a decent job with funding they had). They came back to kickstarter with just Shieldmaidens
Ah yes, thanks, I do remember them. I think they started out with a pretty dodgy design but ended up with something that looked a lot better. I still thought it was a bit of an odd faction to produce, so I’d like to see some photos of the finished minis before passing judgement.
I’ll reserve judgement until there’s a few more sculpts. They do have a decent track record with some nice stuff on their website and forest Goblins are pretty cool. But that on in the picture has more of ’90s plastic GW Goblin about than I’d like

Ha ha, yes, i see what you mean. Hopefully the poses will be a lot more interested and varied in these! I like the shaman, although I presume he’s a character model and not made from plastic.
I always had a thing for forest goblins.
he looks nice enough.
a new kickstarter? so the shieldmaidens from last kickstarter are ready to buy and ship???
