Gaban of the Coat (Three Goblins in a Trenchcoat) Bust by The Witchguild

He introduces himself as Gaban, a respectable merchant of considerable standing — and if you look closely enough, you might just notice that his shoulders are moving independently of each other.

• ✔ Large-scale display bust — significantly bigger than standard 32mm
• ✔ Resin printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ Supplied unpainted — ideal as a centrepiece painting project
• ✔ Designed for display shelves and painting competitions

Gaban of the Coat is one of the great unsung masterpieces of goblin collective ingenuity. Three goblins, one trenchcoat, one reinforced helmet with a menacing visor, and the audacity to walk into any tavern in the realm and order a round of ales without a single raised eyebrow. Well, almost. The sculpt captures this glorious farce in exquisite detail: the topmost goblin peers out from a full-face armoured helmet with ventilation slots, his massive burlap-wrapped shoulders betraying the lumpy, unmistakably non-human arrangement beneath. Clutched against the coat is the disgruntled face of the middle goblin, peering out with an expression that suggests this arrangement was not entirely his idea. The whole ensemble sits on an ornate carved plinth, making this a centrepiece that demands to be placed somewhere it will be seen and explained to confused guests.

As a bust format, this piece is tailored towards painters and collectors rather than standard tabletop combat use — the scale and scope of the sculpt rewards careful brushwork across the textured burlap weave, layered armour plates, and those magnificently expressive goblin faces. That said, it works beautifully as a visual reference or narrative anchor for any DM running a campaign where deception, trickery, and goblin chaos are on the agenda.

Perfect for adventurers who:

• Want a display bust that tells an entire story before a single brushstroke is applied
• Are painting a character inspired by deception, disguise, or comic villainy
• Need a memorable NPC prop or campaign centrepiece for their gaming table
• Collect goblin or trickster-themed miniatures and display pieces
• Want a conversation piece that makes people look twice and then burst out laughing

Encounter Hook: The party is approached in the market district by a cloaked merchant named Gaban, who offers rare spell components at suspiciously reasonable prices. Halfway through negotiations, the rogue passes a DC 12 Perception check and notices the merchant's left shoulder has just sneezed. What happens next depends entirely on whether your players choose diplomacy or chaos — and how fast three goblins can scatter in a crowded bazaar.

This bust is printed at display scale and supplied unpainted, ready for your brushes. Supplied with the ornate carved plinth base as shown. Printed with care, with supports removed prior to dispatch — minor cleanup may occasionally be required, which is well within reach for any hobby painter.
