The first look at Crooked Crowns puts the goblins front and center, and that is the kind of reveal painters notice fast. Rescale Miniatures used the May 11 teaser to set up its June 1, 2026 release, and the collection is slated to total 32 models including variations, a strong signal that this is being built as a full monthly line rather than a single showcase kit.

The core warband is the real hook for army painters. The teaser breaks the goblins into 2 archers, 2 twin blades, 3 axemen, 3 fireball throwers, and 5 swordmen, which gives the faction enough internal variety to read as a proper horde without losing cohesion. That split also invites easy paint planning: one skin recipe for the rank and file, different armor trims for each weapon group, more soot and grime on the fireball throwers, and distinct weapon colors or basing cues to help the unit stay legible on the table.

Rescale Miniatures, a MyMiniFactory brand focused on high-quality 3D-printable models for tabletop gaming and wargaming, has framed its output as a monthly Tribe subscription release since December 2019. Crooked Crowns fits that rhythm. The teaser follows the same broad package approach as Cathedral of Broken Crowns, Rescale’s May 2026 release, which was also a 32-model collection and showed how the studio likes to balance centerpiece monsters with a big supporting cast.

That balance is on display again here. Crooked Crowns includes a Goblin Blaster XL Collector model in 1/6 scale, a Goblin Siege Crawler on a 130mm base with mounted and wild versions, Magma Dragon and Deep Dragon adults on 75mm bases, Goblin Buletteers on 50mm bases with mounted and wild versions plus named poses, and Hobgoblin models on 50mm bases including Hobgoblin Hook and Hobgoblin Smasher A and B. For painters, those larger pieces are where the release stretches beyond batch work and into texture play, with room for dragon scales, monster hide, rider armor, metal chips, and weathered siege machinery.

The teaser’s goblins are described as reckless, chaotic, and dangerous, and that personality reads clearly through the lineup. It is a release built for saturated greens, dirty cloth, wild basing, and unit markings that can swing from funny to threatening in a single brush pass. With the goblins leading the reveal and the dragons, crawlers, and collector pieces waiting behind them, Crooked Crowns already looks like a line made to be painted as much as it is played.
