Review: Atlantis Miniatures Goblins






I am not a great fan of orcs, one of Tolkien's less happy inventions, but I do like goblins. In GW, goblins have been degraded to caricatures so when I saw an Atlantis Minis kickstarter with some neat models I ventured £30 and eventually got these.

I have a chief, brute, standard bearer, a drummer and six boys with assorted weapons.

The sculpting is excellent; each model is full of character.

I am well pleased with them and might buy a few more off their website shop.

The resin is fragile and somewhat super-glue resistant but it takes paint well.

Atlantis is based in the UK so you won't get hammered by our new sooper-dooper Brexit Pound in your pocket.

Recommended.

  1. Those are the best Goblins I think I've ever seen:). Personally I always had a soft spot for the Uruk-Hai...

    1. Thanks Mordan. They are so well sculpted that they are easy to paint.

  4. Yes, beautiful scuplts all around from goblins, orcs, trolls and giants. Yes a little pricey but personally got in on the kickstarter so discount there. But the quality and if you can say realism of a fantasy monster, makes them unique in the industry, at least in my opinion.
