Fantasy Goblin Miniatures: The Gaz Minis Goblin Collection

Goblins have a reputation problem. In most D&D campaigns they're the tutorial enemy, the creatures new players cut down in the first session and forget about by the second. The Gaz Minis goblin collection argues otherwise. These are fantasy goblin miniatures designed with the same care you'd give a named villain: individual archetypes, genuine character, and sculpting quality from a 3D artist with 15 years of professional work behind him.

We stock all eight at TabletopXtra as pre-supported resin prints, available individually so you can pick exactly who fits your campaign.

Who Is Gaz Minis?

Gaz Minis is the solo studio of Marco, a professional 3D character artist with over 15 years of experience working in fantasy and sci-fi. His full catalogue lives on his MyMiniFactory profile, though note the wider range includes mature content alongside the general-audience pieces we carry. The goblin collection sits on the accessible end: recognisable RPG class archetypes with a Gaz Minis twist on each one, covering everything from witches and mages to warriors, thieves, and jesters.

Fantasy Goblin Miniatures: The Gaz Minis Collection

Goblin Warrior Rykko Gobblade (£6.49) is the fighter of the group. The name "Gobblade" does a lot of work: this is a goblin who takes his weapons seriously, and the sculpt reflects that. He makes a convincing warband leader or a low-level boss encounter for a party who've been underestimating goblins, which is exactly the kind of scenario a good goblin miniature enables.

Goblin Witch Nimue (£6.49) is probably the standout of the range. Her name is a nod to Arthurian legend, which is an interesting choice for a goblin sculpt, and her pose gives her presence beyond her height. She makes a natural shaman or boss in a D&D monster encounter, and if you're buying one character from this range to use as a recurring villain, Nimue is the obvious pick.

Goblin Mage Glimra (£6.29) covers the wizard slot. She reads differently from Nimue on the table, less goblin shaman and more goblin who has been studying, and the two pair well in the same warband without clashing aesthetically.

Goblin Cleric Mei-Nib (£6.29) handles the divine spellcaster slot. The "Nib" in her name suggests scribing or ink, which is a neat lore hook if you want your goblin cleric to double as a cult chronicler or a fanatic keeper of records. She works as a healer in a party build or a more sinister religious figure in an encounter.

Goblin Thief Mimi (£6.49) is the rogue of the collection, and her whip marks her out as a combatant as much as a skulker. She fits any scenario that needs a fast, unpredictable fighter, and she makes a memorable recurring antagonist for a campaign that wants goblins to feel like more than speed bumps.

Goblin Jester Kiki Knifetoss (£6.49) is exactly what the name says: a trickster who throws knives. Players tend to remember the goblin who juggles blades, which makes her as useful for a memorable NPC encounter as she is for a party's own goblin rogue.

Cyber Goblin Vixxo & Squibb (£6.49) bring a gnomish-inventor or arcane-gadgeteer flavour that the rest of the range doesn't cover. They work particularly well in settings with an artificer or steampunk element, Eberron being the obvious example, and serve better as an NPC duo for players to interact with than as a standard combat encounter.

The Cave Goblin Ballista Duo (£8.99) is two goblins sharing a siege weapon. The tactical argument for this in an ambush or stronghold defence is solid. The thematic argument is that two goblins on one ballista is inherently chaotic, and that is usually exactly right for goblins.

Building a Goblin Party or Warband

The eight characters cover the standard RPG slots: fighter (Rykko), rogue (Mimi or Kiki), arcane caster (Glimra or Nimue), divine caster (Mei-Nib), gadgeteer (Vixxo & Squibb), and artillery (Ballista Duo). As our guide to fantasy miniatures in the UK covers, the minimum for a recognisable adventuring party is four: a fighter, a rogue, and two spellcasters. Rykko, Mimi, Nimue, and Mei-Nib gets you there for around £25.

For a warband rather than a party, Kiki as a mobile skirmisher and the Ballista Duo as artillery make the group considerably more tactically interesting. Eight distinct silhouettes also means no confusion about which goblin is doing what once the melee starts, which matters more than it sounds.

Painting Tips for Gaz Minis Goblins

Classic goblin skin runs from bright Goblin Green through muted olive to grey-green. Citadel Contrast paints work well on these sculpts: Ork Flesh over a grey primer gives you a solid mid-range green with natural shading built in, done in about ten minutes. For something darker and more sinister, start with deep teal or dark olive as your base and highlight up through yellow-green on the raised areas.

The faces are where the Gaz Minis sculpts reward attention. Each character has a distinct expression, and the difference between Nimue's knowing smirk and Kiki's manic grin reads clearly at arm's length if you take the time to paint the eyes properly. A fine brush, five minutes on the face, and the character difference between each goblin is immediately obvious across the table.
