Lord Aldades:
I would like to pitch in a few cents here
Since I myself suck at sculpting (he, though my first attempt ever is being cast to a 1002 copies atm woot woot), Im willing to pitch in a part if a sculptor / small company is going for a set of the typical` hunchback hobbos like the classic CD style.
Far2Casual:
Moria goblins are too small. The lotr figures are smaller in scale than fantasy ones, so the moria goblins are smaller than fantasy goblins; also hobgoblins are biger than goblins anyway.Ok, I didn't know that.

here’s another option. contact a current knock off brand (i’m a personal and big fan of gamezone miniatures) and garuntee him 100 orders (let’s just say all the regulars on CDO) and see if he’ll do it?
i can promise to order at least 2 khans on wolves and probably 5 hobgoblins on wolves with full command.
i also prefer gamezone, his work is brilliant
cornixt:
The Skaven conversions look pretty good, you’d just need to sculpt compatible heads and arms.
JonJon:
Thrawn I agree completely
Thommy H:
Is there a lack of viable “Hobgoblin” sculpts out there? GW Goblins aside, any and all of which are perfectly fine to represent Hobgoblins, we have relatively simple conversions with various Skaven models, and Gobbos from Mantic, Hasslefree and Heresy which are exactly right for Hobgoblins.
Loads of people make Goblins. Some are a bit taller and more militaristic than the usual types but most kinds work fine anyway.
zobo1942:
Good point. And those Heresy goblins look amazing!
JonJon:
I like the heresy mini as well there hard to get in the USA,hasslefree is almost impossible and they don’t return email,really bad customer service

Who was sculpting the alternate heads?
I know he had a website with some greens and cool terrain?
Does anyone have that link?

Nothing wrong with those as top ace quality sculpts per se, but I`m more a fan of the older look of Big Hat Dwarfs and hunchbacked sneaky types

By the same token, a bespoke range of Hobgoblins is not going to please everyone either.
vulcanologist:
Did you ever decide how you were going to do your hobgoblin warriors Thommy?
Lord Aldades:
True Thommy, but like I stated in my original post, if some budding kitchen company would like to do hobs, and they are in that style, I`d ship in for the cost of the sculptor. Or vice versa if some talented looking for a breakthrough sculptor would have something casted up.

Or vice versa if some talented looking for a breakthrough sculptor would have something casted up.As a start up company doing a range of Hobgoblins, we are interested in what people are looking for. Right now we are mastering a set of Hobgoblin archers in the same style as our recently released Chieftain. But our vision of a Hobgoblin won't match what all CD players or the Warhammer world in general might be looking for. That said, we would be interested in CDO surfer input. But repeating what the Perrys have already done for Hobgoblins would probably not be something we would be interested in.

I have tracked down a bunch of the old Perry Minatures. And I do like them and the whole Mongol theme (but that may just be nostalgia, lol). In generally I’m liking rues for the LoA hobgobs a lot. It just makes me smile everytime I get to throw knives at people. Anyone doing new sculpts should show these guys chucking knives 
. I can’t say its actually accomplished mutch, but I have a great time re-forming extra wide to guarntiee the maximum number of shots with my allways stand and shoot quick to fire hobgobs, lol.
Thommy H:
Did you ever decide how you were going to do your hobgoblin warriors Thommy?I'm sorely tempted to do them like this as it's really simple. The other Stormvermin conversions I've seen involved kitbashing from more sources than I can be bothered to amass.
