Hey guys. Now I know the goblins in the movie were sickly but none of them are as deformed as the GW ones. Half the GW ones have huge humps on their backs, are covered in boils and look like their bodies don't work properly.

In the movie barely any of them look like that at all. I only remember seeing two midget ones and the rest seemed to be relatively normal.

I thought they looked odd. Maybe GW is hoping that the 40k players will grab them for extra Nurglings?

I think there's some explation with the actors playing goblins were supposed to wear full body goblin suits, which were changed to prosthetics or something? That's probably why the gw models looks different than in the movies
:roll: But im not sure?

Grab yourself the 'Chronicles' art book from Weta, the faces and bodies come from designs done by the concept art team. I thought they looked spot on, the colours 'eavy metal used look a little off because of the lighting used in goblin town, so mine are more sallow/yellow than pink...
