I'm not all that thrilled by this take on the hobgoblin. I vastly preferred the ones on the cover of Red Hand of DOOOOOOM. Since the bugbear is still pretty much the same, I wish they'd kept that look for the hobbos.

What i really dislike about this new Hobgoblin is how the black around his deep sunken eyes makes it look like he's wearing a monster rubber mask.

I... don't remember.

All I remember is the creatures in the scene where Gandalf makes the SWORD appear and all of them are like "OH CRAP".

That would be the goblins then... when Gandalf rescued them from the goblin king.

I have to agree. That's pretty damn cool and true to the spirit of the original 1st Ed artwork.

That's the Lhesh Haruuc, ruler of the goblinoid nation of Darguun in Eberron.

But I do think it's a bit too orcish.

Yep that works too... I've just got to agree with others on the exaggerated sunken eyes... it's a little too much.

I agree. I just look at that picture and I can hear the sound of kingdoms being crushed beneath his boots....

I prefer the MM 3.5 look myself, but I dig the mohawk on the new guy (the sunken eyes are a bit off-putting, I'll agree). Is it just me or does the hob in the goblin family lineup look oriental?


What do you guys think of the idea that hobgoblins will live in floating fortresses?
