Goblin Scout 02 by Novaminis
Description
He's been watching the road for three days — hood pulled low, scimitar loose in his grip, waiting for exactly the wrong moment to step out of the shadows.

This is pose 2 of the Goblin Scout range from Novaminis, and it's a different beast to the first. Where other goblin sculpts lean into comedy or cowardice, this one carries a quiet menace. He stands broad and upright, draped in a crude stitched hood and tattered loincloth, a wide notched scimitar held low at his side. His expression is all snarl and restraint — not the frenzied grin of a goblin who's just sprung an ambush, but the cold calculation of one who's deciding whether you're worth the trouble. Detail work across the carved belt, wrapped forearm bracers, and rough-sewn hood make this a genuinely characterful sculpt, as suited to a display shelf as to the front line of a goblin warband.
Goblins in D&D 5e are Humanoid monsters with a CR low enough to fill an encounter table but a sculpt like this can carry far more narrative weight — a gang leader, an NPC informant, a recurring thorn in the party's side. Paint him in muted earth tones for a forest raider or in crude tribal markings for a warband champion.
A good fit for adventurers who:
- Need a goblin mini with genuine menace rather than slapstick energy
- Are building a goblin warband or bandit encounter
- Want a low-CR enemy that still reads as a credible threat on the table
- Enjoy painting characterful humanoid sculpts with strong surface detail
- Collect Novaminis' creature range for display
Encounter Hook:
The party has been hired to escort a merchant along the Thornpass road — but as they enter the narrowest section of the gorge, one figure steps out alone from the treeline ahead. No screaming. No ambush. Just this hooded goblin, scimitar at his side, watching them with unsettling patience. He says nothing. Behind the party, the sound of movement begins.
