Selling a Painted Goblin team (16 Players)

Yes, that's right. I'm selling a painted team - which is not something I do very often. In fact I've never sold a painted team before, and I'm not likely to sell another one soon.

The team itself isn't 100% completed yet, I have to put the finishing touches on the final Goblin and then number goblins 6 - 10. But I thought I'd put the pictures up a day or two early to drum up some intital interest in the team.

Here's the first 5 goblins

The other 5 goblins

These are the 4 Secret Weapons/Star Players

Here are the trolls (one stone and one river)

Here's a larger shot of my favourite piece - the Stone Troll/Ripper
Image

And here's the complete team (16 players):

Ideally I don't want to sell this team on eBay - a decent offer and I'll let the team go. (So you're aware, the base, unpainted metal cost of this team is between £45 and £55 - approx $90 - $110 or 65 to 80 Euros)

The team will be varnished and I could paint numbers on the bases if that was desired. Additionally, if cheerleaders, a extra pair of goblins or the like were desired at a later date - I can always be contacted and paint a couple of additional models to match (for a reasonable rate.)

I don't do commissions, so this might be the only way you'll get your hands on a team by me any time soon (apart from breaking into my house and stealing them :wink:)

You happen to have used the same color scheme that I am using for my orcs, making these very inspirational to me. Did it have anything to do with yellow and blue mixing to make green? I know that affected me when I made the choice to use those colors.

How much do you think you will be asking for the team?

Naah, nothing like that - it's just the Goblins in the BB Book are Blue and Yellow. I liked the look and decided to replicate it in my own style.

I've got a rough amount in mind. I know how much time I had to put in to paint the team, and I know how much the minis cost unpainted (Goblins are a more expensive team to make than most - 2 big guys). But I prefer to recieve offers rather than put a firm price down here.

And on that note, I've updated the pictures to include the other 5 goblins and the team shot. So I'm now open to offers. I'll make a decision on Friday, if there isn't one that's good enough I'll put the team on eBay and take the risk.

Got to say absolutely gorgeous job. Wish I'd seen this lot earlier, I'd definitely have been keen. If FEM ever wants to commission for similar let me know. I'd definitely be interested

I'm not sure calling me "fem" is the right way towards convincing me to paint a commission. :lol:
