Another first go at a unit archetype. Very basic conversion of the Island of Blood skaven into a Hobgoblin warrior. I cut off the head, tail and shield; replacing the skaven head with a gnoblar and the shield with an ogre gut plate. Very simple hump (as with the Sneaky Gits) and a basic hat which sags on the hobgoblin's head.
He needs tidying up, with the hump trimmed and his arm cut down and smoothed with green stuff (there was fur there). All-in-all I quite like the effect. The skaven stance is right for the hobgoblin fluff and the hat sits well I think.
A unit would be very fast (and very cheap) to produce, for those people who focus on the game. I think the gnoblar head works well, as I find goblin and gretchin heads to be a bit large for some reason. I also need to trim the back of his tunic and smooth it out.
