A character with hidden talents, Newcomb Nutlea Goblin from Pirate Buccaneers is the picture of reluctant responsibility. While the rest of the crew slacks off, Newcomb is left hauling the load, weighed down by gear and burdened with irritation. A skull and crossbones buckle fastens the belt at the waist, a small nod to pirate pride, but the cargo being lugged is clearly more than a match for the goblin’s stature. A sturdy shield is strapped to the pile, which could be a lifesaver in battle, provided it does not topple over mid-stride. Perfect for D&D adventures or other fantasy tabletop games, Newcomb brings an element of humour and grit to the table.
Available in 32mm, 55mm or 75mm scales, this miniature comes supplied with a solid base for stability. Painters will enjoy the variety of surfaces and textures, from the goblin’s worn clothing and expressive features to the weathered look of the shield and luggage straps. The design works equally well with bright, whimsical colours to highlight Newcomb’s comedic side or a muted, rugged palette for a grittier, campaign-hardened appearance.
Collectors will appreciate how this model captures a moment of personality rather than simple combat readiness, offering a versatile piece that can fit into pirate crews, goblin warbands or narrative-driven campaigns. For players, Newcomb’s overburdened stance invites inventive backstories, perhaps as the unlucky deckhand always left with the chores, or a clever quartermaster who hides tactical brilliance behind a grumpy exterior.
Supplied unpainted, Newcomb Nutlea Goblin is a rewarding project for hobbyists of all experience levels. Whether displayed as part of a pirate-themed line-up or thrown into the thick of your next tabletop adventure, this miniature offers a mix of comedy, charm and resilience, ensuring it stands out in any collection.
