Title: Kobolds
Post by: nikharwood on 20 December 2010, 06:40:10 PM
I've just realised what's missing from the Fantasy range [unless these are covered with the Newtmen?]: those ubiquitous little critters who we love to get ambushed by...the formidable [ha!] Kobold:

Anyone else fancy a few of these?

If we can have them in aviator goggles, carrying rifles, etc, sure.

Hmmm.. for some reason I always pictured large bear-type creatures when people asked for kobolds?

Those pictures look more like the Tribal Lizards, so maybe the newtmen from there would be an option?

These fit my impression of Kobolds more

Ah - I thought that might be where to look...this link shows them...I think these would work ok [right-hand three are newtmen]:

Of course I would like to see kobods in 10mm

[out of topic] Just a curiosity: chemestry element of periodic table cobalt has it name for the kobolds. Scientist were searching for the gap in the periodic table but they did not characterized the element for years, so they said that the kobolds were hidden the element (of course, they said that in a humorus way). When they finally found the element thay gave the name cobalt.

Wouldn't 10mm kobolds be 5mm high?

:o

I loved kobolds - the perfect GM antidote to level 1 characters.  And in numbers with their cunning intelligence, a decent fight for level 5's.   ;)

Reckon the Dungeon needs a few myself, but if the newtmen do it, no worries.

And despite them being blue (cobalt blue?) i always figured they were red.  But then i always saw the original D&D goblins as red skinned too... :-\
