Hobgoblin Smuggler 04 by Novaminis
Description
He moves through the dockside shadows with a soldier's discipline and a cutthroat's patience — the kind of hobgoblin who doesn't just run contraband, he ensures no one lives to report it.

This is pose 04 of the Hobgoblin Smuggler range by Novaminis, and it's one of the most characterful of the set. He's sculpted mid-stride, leaning forward with weight and intent — a broad-bladed sword gripped in his right hand, knees bent, free hand trailing as though he's just rounded a corner and spotted something worth killing. His hood is pulled back to reveal a wide, leering grimace and the broad, flat-featured face of a hobgoblin who has survived by being both smarter and more dangerous than his enemies expected. Layered pauldrons, a studded belt, riveted bracers, and a chain-hung lantern speak to someone who operates between the military and the criminal — a mercenary enforcer, a black-market lieutenant, or a deserter turned gang leader.
The sculpt rewards painters who enjoy contrasting textures — the soft drape of the cloak against the hard edges of armour plating — and the dynamic forward-lean of the pose makes him a striking presence on the tabletop whether he's fighting or simply intimidating an NPC into compliance. Equally at home in a harbour district crime encounter or a goblinoid warband with underworld connections.
Perfect for adventurers who:
- Need a hobgoblin with criminal gravitas rather than pure battlefield menace
- Are building an urban crime syndicate, thieves' guild, or black-market encounter
- Want a recurring NPC enforcer with enough character to carry a storyline
- Collect across the full Hobgoblin Smuggler range and need pose 04 to complete it
- Enjoy painting cloaked, armoured humanoids with rich detail across multiple surface types
Encounter Hook:
The harbour master has gone missing, and the only lead is a wax-sealed crate addressed to no one — until the party follows the delivery route into a torchlit warehouse and finds this hobgoblin waiting for them, sword already drawn, wearing the harbour master's ring on his belt.
Details
Supplied at 32mm scale. Available with or without a plain black base — the base arrives unattached and can be secured with a small amount of glue. Each miniature is checked before dispatch, though minor marks from support removal may occasionally be present; these are straightforward to tidy up before priming. Ready for priming and painting straight out of the box, or use as-is on the table.
