Hobgoblin Thug 04 by Novaminis

The hobgoblin raises its longsword in a two-handed grip, teeth bared beneath a spiked war helm — this one isn't a conscript, it's a veteran who's earned every scar.

This is pose 4 of our Hobgoblin Thug range by Novaminis. Where some hobgoblins stand in ranked formation, this warrior has broken free of the line — sword thrust overhead in a ferocious overhead strike, body low and lunging, with heavy chains and crude trophies hanging from a scale-plated war belt. The spiked helmet with swept horns, the layered pauldrons, and the reinforced greaves all speak to a soldier who has looted and worn their armour through hard campaigns. The sculpt captures the hobgoblin's martial identity brilliantly: not just a brute, but a disciplined killer mid-charge.

For Dungeon Masters, this pose works particularly well when you want a hobgoblin encounter that feels dangerous from the first initiative roll. Pair with other poses from the range to assemble a warband with genuine visual variety on the battlefield. Equally well-suited to a display shelf for adventurers who collect goblinoid forces or paint competition-ready minis.

Perfect for adventurers who:

• Need front-line hobgoblin soldiers for D&D 5e or other TTRPG encounters
• Are building a goblinoid warband or Hobgoblin Warlord's retinue
• Want a characterful painting project with strong surface detail — armour plates, chain links, and facial expression all reward the brush
• Collect fantasy humanoid miniatures for display

Encounter Hook:
The party hears them before they see them — the rhythmic clank of chains and the heavy thud of armoured boots on stone. When the hobgoblin comes around the corner of the ruined keep, sword already raised and the war cry already in its throat, there's no time for a plan. Roll for initiative.

Details

Supplied 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. Each miniature is printed to a high standard; supports are removed before dispatch, though minor marks from the print process can occasionally occur and are easily tidied up before priming.
