Goblin looks pretty good. The shield and the whole rearmost hand could be a bit more "forward", and not left behind the unit. Don't be afraid to cover parts of the unit.

Orc: the skin seems too bright, like plastic toy. I haven't checked it in Dominions, but I assume it'd be a bit too bright in Dominions.
The feet could end a bit higher, atm he looks like he's going to fall over any moment. Painopiste on liian ylhäällä, kokeile siirtää jalkoväliä vähän ylös ja vasemmalle.
The metal of the breastplate is too distinguished. It shouldn't be seen without zooming in, it shouldn't stand out like that. Now, you see a unit with an armor, not an armored unit. The focus is on something totally unimportant.

The shadowing is excellent, and the colors are nice. It seems these units would be easy to distinguish from one another. It's a very good first sprite. I didn't actually test what it'd look like in Dominions, so don't spend too much time in corrections until you get others' opinions as well.

Still a lot better than mine, but Endoperez is probably right.

I took down the skin saturation a bit and messed with the armor studs. Do you think this is better?

Yes. Much better IMHO, even though I still haven't checked it out in Dom.

I also moved the goblin's shield a little to the left.

This was a concious decision. I tried to strike a balance between realism and the orc anatomy as represented by Games Workshop. Not perfect, but I don't think I can do much better.

Anybody else notice that Endoperez started speaking in tongues, in the middle of that statement?

Yep, okiN at least. I was talking about the orc's center of gravity being a bit too low, but couldn't remember the correct term in English.
