Goblin Warrior 02 by Novaminis

Small, vicious, and utterly convinced of his own invincibility, this goblin has survived long enough to earn a shield — and to nail spikes into every inch of it.

• ✔ 32mm scale resin miniature, printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ Supplied unpainted and ready to prime
• ✔ Compatible with D&D, Pathfinder, and all tabletop RPGs
• ✔ Equally at home on the gaming table or the display shelf

This is pose 02 of the Novaminis Goblin Warrior range, and where some goblins skulk, this one swaggers. Clad in rough-hewn wooden armour studded with iron spikes and bound together with strips of leather, he carries a wide spiked shield strapped to one arm and a heavy notched sword levelled forward — the posture of a goblin who has charged before and intends to charge again. His open-mouthed grimace beneath a battered helmet reads somewhere between battle cry and cackle, and his feet are wrapped in rope-cord bindings that suggest a creature who improvises everything but his violence.

The sculpt rewards painters who enjoy textured surfaces — the planked wood grain across the shield and armour panels, the layered rope wrappings around his legs, and the individual spikes hammered unevenly into the shield face all offer excellent opportunities for drybrushing and washes. Whether you're fielding him as a front-line skirmisher, a surprisingly dangerous low-CR threat, or as part of a goblin warband encounter, he reads clearly at arm's length and holds up beautifully in the display cabinet.

A great choice for adventurers who:

• Run goblin ambushes, cave encounters, or bandit raids in D&D 5e or other TTRPGs
• Want distinct poses across a warband rather than a row of identical sculpts
• Enjoy painting textured armour, wood grain, and scrappy improvised gear
• Collect Novaminis' creature range for display or skirmish gaming

Encounter Hook:
The party has been tracking a stolen merchant wagon for two days — they find it stripped and abandoned at the mouth of a ravine. As they examine the wreckage, a single goblin steps out from behind a boulder ahead: shield raised, sword levelled, grinning. He's not alone. He's never alone. He's just the one they chose to see.

Details

Printed at 32mm scale to fit seamlessly alongside standard D&D and TTRPG miniatures. Available with or without a plain black base — the base ships unattached and can be fixed in place with a small amount of glue. Every miniature is hand-checked before dispatch; as with all high-detail resin pieces, minor marks from support removal may occasionally be present and are easily tidied up before priming.
