However I did end up acquiring the sick goblin alongside some bits somewhere along the line, so I whisked him onto the painting desk alongside the squigs and got him painted up as well.© Copyright Games Workshop Limited 2022.

I didn’t buy the new fanatics and I probably won’t, as I’ve already got five of these mad dervishes and I wasn’t feeling a particular draw to get any more, at least not straight away. Whilst I was working on the squigs I also spotted the poorly little goblin who comes as part of the new fanatics kit.

Surely having more plans than there’s time in a normal lifespan to deal with is standard practice for every hobbyist! Whether any of these ideas ever sees the light of day is something that only the future can reveal. Whether this proves to be a flight of fancy or a serious plan only time will tell, although fans of the Old World need not fear, I’ve also got a plan to paint up a dwarf army for WHFB. Currently I must admit I’m very tempted to rebase my Night Goblin collection and make myself a Gloomspite Gits army for AoS. The eagle-eyed will have spotted that I’ve based them on round bases rather than square. Here’s three more bouncing, mayhem-fuelling fungi ready to munch their way through anything that takes their fancy.Īnd here they are in the company of the rest of their nest. It’s been absolutely ages since I painted any squigs and it’s high time I did something about that. All being well I should get the final lads finished soon. With these done I’m well on my way to having the Goblin team up and running, especially as I can borrow things like tokens and markers from the Orcs (I’m already borrowing half their players after all!). The name’s Kipplecrac, Slugkap Kipplecrac! Those who survive his chainsaw rampages will undoubtedly be shaken, but not stirred. He was perfect for the job so how could I possibly resist? Better yet, the model I received turned out to be number 007. As I was struggling with this however I stumbled upon Slugkap Kipplecrac, a limited edition model from a company called Geek Salad. I experimented a couple of times with making my own but nothing really looked right. Lastly I turned my attention to the (chainsaw wielding) Loony. I didn’t really need more Goblin Linemen but I had a couple of them sitting around so I painted them up anyway. I already have a few Fanatics around so I grabbed one I’d already painted and press-ganged him into the team.Īnyway, enough of models I’ve already painted – lets look at some new stuff! My next step was to dig around in the bits box and kitbash myself a Bomma with a suitability volatile-looking fungal bomb. Anyway, that left me with three positions to fill the Fanatic, Loony and Bomma. A while ago, when I was putting in an order with Forge World, I talked myself into buying models for three of these positions the ‘Ooligan, Pogoer and Doom Diver. The art of playing Goblins, it has often been repeated to me, is to drag the opposition down to your level and beat them with experience. These tricky, sneaky, cheaty little so-and-so’s are where a lot of the strengths (such as they are) of a Goblin team lie, or so I’m told anyway. I also have a troll who I might as well get my moneys’ worth out of now that I’ve finally got around to painting him.Īs well as the ordinary Goblin Linemen and their Trained Trolls there are six other positions on a Goblin team. Of course it’s taken me a while to get around to it, but here we are at last. They wouldn’t be a very good team but still…īack when I started my original Orc team I bought myself a set of Goblins, partly to assist the Orcs and partly because I thought at some point I’d like to paint the whole set and have a Goblin team as well. I painted six of the runty little gits for my Black Orcs and another four for my normal Orcs, which means I have almost enough to field a team already. The thing is, I actually have quite a few Goblins already. Another Blood Bowl team Wudugast? Another greenskin team? I mean, fair enough, paint more teams, Blood Bowl is cool, but you do know there’s more to the game than just green guys right? You’ve already got an Orc team, and a Black Orc team, and then there’s those Snotlings that you should be finishing – do you need to start a Goblin team as well?
