Like All Good Goblins

 Pushing Their Way to The Front

The Three Stooges

Despite having lots of other figures and projects on the go. I some how ended up doing these three goblins first. They all seem to represent an evolution of the design of goblins at Citadel, even though they were released a few years a part. 

'Curly'

The first one (Pre-1984) seems to be in keeping the very early style of goblins sculpted with a lanky look and big nose. With a minimal amount of clutter and a very simple style.

'Moe'

Not surprisingly the second one  (circa 1984) looks more like the classic Citadel goblins, he has bulked up and lost the big nose. However he still quite simply styled. Unfortunately it is not listed who sculpted either of the first two goblins but I would be surprised if it was either Kev Adams or the Perry twins as he still looks very different to the one produced in 1985. 

'Larry'

Finally the third goblin was produced in 1985 by Kev Adams or the Perry twins. But my money is on Kev Adams. He looks very different from either of the two earlier miniatures. He has classic Citadel goblin look. Which was pretty much invented by Kev Adams anyway. Interestingly the design look seems very much completed by this stage even though it is only a year later than the second one. He would fit in nicely with any goblins produced  in the next twenty years.

Curly joins the rest of the Fae Sprites

Moe & Larry rock up with Grog & his spiders.

Anyway all good fun to paint and fit in nicely with the rest of the Fae.
