There is a swamp. Such a swamp. A festering stinking mire that stretches to the horizon in every direction. There are paths through this cold and almost always dark cess; there are weird monsters and creatures which overcome travellers and even entire caravans well led. At its center, this swamp has a Fortress rising immense high into the dim sky. This fortress is richly filled and labyrinthine. A worthy prize..but guarded by a horde of Goblins!
War Crab Cavalry

Towards the end of last year, our massive 28mm fantasy release was to introduce the Fortress Goblins, sculpted by Sam Croes. 30 different infantry to defend their mighty stone edifice in the endless swamp. Now we are proud to release cavalry for them, and what a mount they have! War Crabs with pincers which snip and kill!

These are our last releases of February 2026, and our final news before we will be sadly increasing our prices across the website. More on this at the time, of course, in an announcement, but you have until its announcement to purchase everything we make at current prices (end of this month).

All of the following releases are in our Orc and Goblin Horde 28mm range as packs and singles. All are shown on 30mm square resin bases, and a War Crab is 40mm wide, from claw tip to claw tip, and 30mm deep. With rider, the model is approx 40mm to top of head. Each cavalry miniature is made up of a metal rider with separate metal arm, along with a resin crab and two separate metal pincers.
