From SylvainR: 28mm Goblins and 6mm tanks (183 points)

This week, instead of creating a post for my WW2-6mm project and a separate one for my D&D project, I decided to combined them both. I hope this will please my Tuesday minion :-). 

Let's start with a bunch of goblins. If you look closely at the group picture, you will notice that there are two styles of models, some "old school" and some "dynamic" models, both designated as "goblins" on the Reaper web site. Because they look so different, I decided to make them into two "tribes": a gray tribe and the blue tribe.
 

 

There are only three different poses of "old school" goblins with four models each for a total of twelve. The "dynamic" goblins come in 10 different poses and it includes a female goblin. They are definitely my favorite and I love their mischievous look. Some are armed with lit torches... What could they possibly do with those...

 

 

The last three goblins are the female, the shaman and the leader.

In the 6mm department, I completed twenty Light Tank Mk. VI for the British Expeditionary Force. I ordered these models on Black Friday (November 28, 2025) and they just got home two weeks ago, after waiting for over 7 weeks. I've seen worse. Finally, my BEF cruiser tanks squadrons will be complete.

I also finished fourteen Tiger I tanks. I opted for a two tone pattern. This monster of a model (for 6mm) barely fits on the base. For larger vehicles, like the Tiger II, Jagdpanther and Jagdtiger, I had to use bases twice bigger. I put on them decals indicating their  company, their platoon and their position in the platoon. These are the last tanks I had to paint for my late war German army.

  

I just wanted to show in the picture above the difference in size between the two tanks in this week's tray. Note that I try to differentiate the armies by varying the colors on the bases. For Axis armies I use darker flock. It does help distinguish enemy units on the table.

Above, a scenario I played lately: the Dunkirk Evacuation. The British commander has to designate part of his force to be evacuated, so tanks and truck lined up on the beach are actually "representing" their crew. The rest of the forces are then used to delay the German advance as long as possible. Spitfires are trying to fend off the Stukas dive bombing the ships.

 

Points claimed: 

23x 28mm infantry at 5 points each = 115 points

34x 6mm vehicles at 2 points each = 68 points

Total = 183 points

Thanks for reading!

 Well I guess I can let you get away with one post this week....I really like those Goblins, but the more dynamic ones are my favourites.  Are you sure that those aren't WizKids, I am pretty sure that I've painted some WK goblins that had the same look.

You've really gone the full gamut of Mark VI tanks, from tiny Vickers to huge Tigers.  Great basing as always and I got a chuckle out of the side by side size comparison.  the Dunkirk game looks aces, but obviously you need some dismounted AFV and truck crews added to your collection.
