They don’t look very GW-like, and they aren’t super-cheap, but if you don’t mind the look they could be used as Hobbos, if only to save you conversion work.

**Border Reiver** :
Not super cheap, but at $3 each for a metal cavalry model, they aren’t far off. It’s hard to tell the level of detail on these minis though with all the shine off the pewter.

**Patsy02** :
They sell [unit packs](http://www.thegoblinfactory.com/armswounit.htm) as well for slightly cheaper than buying them individually. I’m taking a liking to those wolf rider models.

**wallacer** :
They don’t look too bad. The wolves are certainly better than GW’s god-awful plastic ones.

**Ancre** :
The more I look at them the more I like them. I might consider using them, even if they’re costly (but heh, with GW prices everything’s acceptable :P) Thank you for showing them up !
Edit : the front page says “Kobolds, Halflings and other races coming soon” - they did great goblins, and maybe the kobolds, or another type of greenskins they will do, will look great. I’ll be following their work for sure !

**Kera foehunter** :
!4.00 dollar is not bad to get 3 metal wolf riders

**Zanko** :
Not bad these minis!
Much better than the old RAFM Wolfriders and also much better wolves than the GW ones!
… but the goblins look a bit slight/slender (I hope these are the right words to describe my mind)!
