GW revealed a new Warhammer Commemorative Series Red Gobbo model returning for Christmas with a stompy Tinboy and a new Black Library story!
The holidays are here, which means Warhammer’s favorite grot with a cause is back to spread some… explosive cheer. Da Red Gobbo has returned, and this time he’s rolling into the season strapped to a mechanical monstrosity that looks like Santa hired Mekboyz for R&D.
Here’s the latest on the new Warhammer Commemorative Series model for the holidays.
Da Red Gobbo’s Tinboy: Nutcracker Meets Mayhem
Let’s be honest, this new Commemorative Series miniature isn’t here to hand out candy canes. Da Red Gobbo’s Tinboy looks like it walked straight out of a fever dream between a Christmas pageant and a Mek workshop. It’s decked out like a festive nutcracker, except instead of cracking nuts, it’s probably breaking helmets.
This latest scheme is the result of a year’s worth of tinkering and grot labor. The Red Gobbo isn’t content with dropping “presents” down chimneys or hiding booby-trapped snowmen anymore.
And yes, the Tinboy’s design has serious Vostroyan energy.
A New Red Gobbo Story: Da Red Gobbo’s Last Stand
This year’s model isn’t the only gift under the tree. Black Library is dropping Da Red Gobbo’s Last Stand, a new novella by Andi Ewington. The story throws a hapless grot named Bodgit into the dark corridors of a newly surfaced space hulk, a setting where even Space Marines struggle to survive.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when grots go toe-to-toe with the galaxy’s worst nightmares, this one’s for you. Expect a mix of dark humor, grim survival, and the kind of underdog chaos that makes the Red Gobbo a fan favorite every winter.
Final Thoughts: Gobbo Christmas Is the Best Christmas
Since 2019, Games Workshop has kept up a fun little holiday ritual, bringing Da Red Gobbo back each Christmas with a new spin. Every year, he gets a fresh miniature, and each one feels like the hobby equivalent of opening a mysterious box labeled “Do Not Shake.”
Every year, Da Red Gobbo reminds the hobby community that Warhammer doesn’t always have to be grimdark; it can be downright hilarious, too. So if you’re into painting tiny green anarchists or just need a little Orky spirit on your shelf, this one’s a no-brainer.
Da Red Gobbo’s back, and he’s bringing the holiday boom.
