Citadel's Preslotta Goblins - Progress

 

Preslotta Goblins - Update 1

Progress - a little aquisition, lots of basing goblins, a smidge of painting, and several happy autumn distractions like fixing my old Mordheim buildings, and printing and painting buildings for a small less damaged city, also paying some attention to a couple of trays of neglected NPC figures to populate cities and villages, ruined or otherwise.


Here's where I've got to on the gobbo's:

Regiment of assorted goblins


Who made the list

Once a goblin like figure is named as a trollkin, a giak, a red orc, a gnoll or a lesser goblin it does

not become a goblin just because it was bundled into the C13 night goblin range.

Once a goblin is released as a goblin it does not become a gnome because its labled that way in the US catalog a few months later

If on the other hand it was released as a gnoll and it looks like a goblin and is unlike all the other gnolls then as far as I'm concerned its a goblin.

In other words it all comes down to personal perception, memory and general inability to accept change.
