Looks good to me.. Is it a coincidence that Celeborn is also your painting challenge entrant this month?! :lol:

Edit: Oops re-reading your painting challenge post now I see that was your plan all along.

Still a great idea to buff him up to get some use out of this version of him

Thank you very much. Good spot, yes I thought it was a shame that such a lovely model is never seen on the tabletop.

Years ago I made a conversion for a Goblin Town archer when AUJ film was released. After finding him in the cupboard I remember it quite fondly so will resolve finish painting him! Here is a ruleset I made to go along with it, I thought it was only right that Goblins would make terrible archers however!

Goblin Town Archer - 5 Points
Goblin, Goblin Town, Infantry

Mv 5" F 2/5+ S3 D3 A1 W1 C2

Wargear
Dagger, Goblin Short Bow (12" Range, S2)

Special Rules
Kings Finest - Goblin Town archers must re-roll rolls of 1 when wounding Friendly models.

Glad you like it! I have added another profile for a model which I think should have its own rules:

The Tiny Goblin Captain - 60 Points
Goblin, Goblin Town, Infantry, Minor Hero

Mv 5" F 3/5+ S3 D3 A2 W2 C3 1M 3W 1F

Wargear
Pick

Special Rules
Nuisance - Once per turn at the beginning of the Fight Phase, The Tiny Goblin Captain may elect to spend a Will point to reduce the Fight Value of an enemy model in the same duel by D3.

Diminutive Stature - This model benefits from the Stalk Unseen special rule.

Haha, nice! I like the self made profiles. The tiny goblin captain is quite strong, i think, because fight value reduction could hurd a lot if timed right. But it makes sense.
And I like the new goblin short bow. Goblin town needs some archers. Not sure if I would field those, but it gives them at least an option.
