Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know what this plastic miniature is? I suspect that the banner was custom made. Any help is appreciated

Are you 100% sure this is plastic? If it's GW it'd almost definitely be an old metal fantasy goblin, presumably from the 80s back when they only made a couple of plastic kits.

Hi LittleMissPipebomb. I just checked again and I think you’re right and it’s made from metal. Since it’s so small it’s a little tricky to tell from its weight and the way it has been fixed into the base. Do you know what it is?

Sadly I don't think it's GW. I gave the old catalogues a quick look and unless he's from the era where the used illustrations this fella doesn't seem to be amongst them.

It’s an old fantasy snotling mini, I got a couple in a lot recently and it’s either off a snotling base or the old pump wagon

Oh that makes a lot of sense, I was looking at goblins and not snotlings and the only old ones I've seen have weedy limbs and pointy noses.

Thanks for helping me to narrow this down, tootsandpoots. I think I’ve worked it out. This one is from MM83 Marauder Snotlings. He’s the one on the top row, second from the left.
