Well sort of...

A few pics of the stuff that arrived today (very quick delivery by the way  :))

The full order (Goblin army plus some extra figures and dice frames):


The army pack:


Dice and dice frames:


100x50 base with trolls:


Semi-circular hit markers (bigger than I expected):

(I may put these on the bases rather than next to them, to make movement easier)

And finally the very nice Squogglers:



Cheers,
Andy

Impressive; love the new packaging too, very professional looking.

Bet that weighed a bit if it was all in one box!  ;)
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

It was a big (heavy) padded envelope. I also had another heavy parcel from a different comoany. Don't think I am my posties favourite person right now !

I've only taken a good look at the trolls and squogglers so far, and they are lovely little models.

That all looks great, I really fancy a goblin army but have so many other projects on the go, I must resist (mustn't I?)

Just "say no" Bodvoc; don't give in to peer pressure ;)

I'm not going to give in...

I'm not...

I'm not...

I'm not, I'm not, I'm not...

I might :-[

(Read the following in a Poirot accent  ;) )  Of course you know that by 'resisting' this will cause you great angst, which in turn will cause you to feel tense, this will make you unable to relax, and alas your muscles will be taught and your movements spasmodic, unfortunately this will make your painting suffer and this will cause you even more anxiety.  No the answer is clear my friend, as clear as the nose on your face as you English say.  You should get your little goblin army and be happy, that way you will paint par excellance and that way you will be happy and paint all the more faster and better than if you continued to refuse yourself such a little pleasure of having the little green warband.

(Well that is the kind of reasoning I use to excuse my own purchases, and who am I to argue with those fantastic little grey cells!   :D  )

They should be, they're in the army list.

The undead zomies are a good choice too, especially if you give them the upgrade to make them a 'shambling horde'.   :D

The Goblin War Horde begins to gather...



Top right; Trolls.
Then from left to right going down the picture - Archers, Scouts, Empty base for another unit of archers (figures ordered !), Bolt Shooters, 2 units of Wolf Riders (not yet assembled), Shaman (will get plenty of scenic stuff to fill up the base), Warriors with spears fronted by Orcs (will perhaps give this unit "Shieldwall"), Chieftain, another warrior unit and three more on the next row.

I have also ordered some giant spiders for an interesting unit with the skirmish ability.

A close-up of the chieftain's unit:


Lots of painting to be done !  :D

Ooh, that's a thing of joy :)

Very nice.

It's interesting that you appear to be gluing the figures onto the base before painting.  I'm thinking of taking that approach so i'll be interested to read/see how it works out.
