Scoop Up Some Stunning Goblins From Dark Sword Miniatures!
October 10, 2023 by brennon
Dark Sword Miniatures do some awesome 28mm Fantasy miniatures for you to use in your wargames and roleplaying games and this month is no different! Whilst there are some fun standard additions to their range for October, there is also an amazing range of Goblins by Gene Vanhorne.
Chonky Goblin With Mace & Shield // Dark Sword Miniatures
These Goblins by Gene Vanhorne might be familiar to those who have watched the adventures of a certain diminutive gentleman who headed off to a mountain to deal with a dragon! There is a clear inspiration here throughout the range and it's awesome to see something I remember seeing in my childhood brought to life in miniature form like this.
Chonky Goblin With Two-Handed Axe // Dark Sword Miniatures
There is a good mix of different Goblins covering the slightly chonkier options as well as more standard-sized Goblins and some lesser folks too. That way you can clearly make a little warband with different levels of Goblin covering the elite characters and the rank and file.
Goblin With Axe & Shield // Dark Sword Miniatures
All of the miniatures are single-piece pewter and would be brilliant for those looking to build a small warband (as mentioned above) or in your roleplaying games. If you were planning to play something like the classic Middle-earth Roleplaying Game or The One Ring with miniatures, maybe these would be a good addition to your collection, especially if you want to give a nudge and a wink to the classic cartoon. These would also work great as alternate Goblins for whatever game you might be indulging in.

Mary Profitt has done a great job of painting the miniatures that you see here, giving you an idea of the quirky ways that you could take your own Goblins when you get them to the tabletop. This selection that I have been showing off here isn't all of the offerings either. There are loads more for you to scoop up!
Lesser Goblin With Sword // Dark Sword Miniatures
A brilliant selection of miniatures. I feel this needs to be expanded with perhaps a big character that could lord over Goblin Town. I would love to see Gene Vanhorne do some work on some Dwarves and a Halfling that could be matched up to these miniatures.
What do you make of these new miniatures from Dark Sword?

@brennon I really like Dark Sword Miniatures and have painted quite a few on my blogs on BOW/OTT. However, since Brexit they’re really difficult to get in the UK because DSM won’t ship here anymore. Those minis that you can find in the UK seem to be really expensive compared to the £-$ exchange rate, I’m guessing because of new import taxes and the continuing lack of a Trade Deal between the UK and US? Do you know of any Indies offering reasonably priced DSM miniatures in the UK?
Ugh, that’s a shame. I don’t know any off the top of my head but I will have a look.
Love these minis. Don’t know what I’d use them for, but they’re really nice.
