Hobgoblin Thug 02 by Novaminis

This is pose 2 of the Hobgoblin Thug range by Novaminis, and it carries real martial weight. He advances with a short sword extended and a large studded round shield raised at his side, his posture somewhere between a march and a challenge. The horned helmet is riveted and spiked, the breastplate layered and battle-scarred, and chainmail hangs over thick, armoured legs — every detail speaks to a hobgoblin who has survived enough skirmishes to dress accordingly. His expression is a wide, tusked grin that manages to be both confident and threatening, exactly the look you want on the front line of an enemy warband.
Hobgoblins are among the most tactically-minded of goblinoid creatures — organised, hierarchical, and utterly ruthless. Where goblins scatter and orcs brawl, hobgoblins form shield walls and follow orders. Thug 02 slots naturally into a warband formation alongside other Novaminis Hobgoblin sculpts, and works equally well as a named lieutenant, a veteran enforcer, or the first face your party sees before things go very wrong. Equally at home on a display shelf as on a gaming table, the sculpt rewards careful painting — especially the armour layering and that unforgettable face.
A strong pick for adventurers who:
- Are building a goblinoid warband or hobgoblin military force for D&D 5e or other TTRPGs
- Want a distinct variant alongside Hobgoblin Thug 01 for visual variety in their ranks
- Enjoy painting detailed armour, rivets, and expressive creature faces
- Collect fantasy humanoid miniatures for display as well as play
Encounter Hook:
The party intercepts what they assume is a routine goblin raiding party — until the lead figure raises a fist and the entire column halts in silence. He turns, sword already drawn, shield raised, and grins. Behind him, twenty more hobgoblins step into line.
Details
Printed at 32mm scale. Available with or without a plain black base — the base is supplied unattached and can be fixed with a small amount of glue. Each miniature arrives with supports removed and fully cured, ready for priming and painting straight out of the box. As with all high-detail resin work, minor surface marks may occasionally occur; these are easily tidied up with light sanding.
