This is pose 01 of the Goblin Sentry range by Novaminis, and it's one of the most characterful goblin sculpts we carry. Wide-legged and cocky, this sentry brandishes a broad-bladed sword in one hand whilst the other reaches forward in a grasping, threatening claw. A heavy ring of keys hangs at his belt alongside studded leather armour decorated with chain detail and a chunky buckled belt — marks of a goblin who's earned a little authority and absolutely gone to his head about it. The sculpt captures that specific goblin energy: equal parts menace and buffoonery, with a snarling open-mouthed expression and a battered helm that's just slightly too big.

Whether you're running a dungeon crawl that opens with a watchpost encounter, building out a goblin warband with genuine variety, or simply looking for a miniature with enough personality to sit proudly on a display shelf, this sentry delivers. The level of surface detail — from the etched belt fittings to the texture of the armour straps — rewards careful painting and holds washes and drybrushing exceptionally well.

Well-suited for adventurers who:

• Need goblin sentries and guards for dungeon entrances or outpost encounters
• Are building a goblin warband with visual range and individual character
• Want a goblin mini that reads as more than a generic grunt — one with a role and an attitude
• Enjoy painting characterful humanoid minis with expressive faces and layered armour detail
• Are collecting a display-worthy set of goblinoid miniatures

Encounter Hook:
The party hears the jangle of keys long before they see him — a goblin sentry doing his rounds with the swagger of someone who has never once been ambushed on his own watch. He hasn't spotted the rogue in the shadows yet. The keys at his belt open the warchief's armoury. The question is whether the party can take them quietly, or whether that sword comes up first.

Details

Printed at 32mm scale. Available with or without a plain black base — the base ships unattached and can be fixed with a small amount of glue. Every miniature is checked before dispatch; as with all resin prints, minor marks from support removal are possible but easily tidied up. Arrives ready to prime and paint.
