A horde of spitters, here, some sharpsticks there. And even after building and painting that many, I’m keen to do more (despite saying numerous times I would never paint another horde again). I’ve almost got full model count on each horde too, so that’s approximately 120 goblins. However, now with the hard plastics, the whole thing has been brought together.Īt the core of the army are now three glorious hoards of Rabble. So, instead I focused on elements that would carry over, like the Winggits, Mincer Mobs, etc. It was slightly depressing for me during the Road to Third Edition blogs/videos because I knew that the new hard plastic goblins were coming, but I couldn’t use them for that project. Slightly more than 2,000pts of glorious goblins. So, let’s have a look at the army that I’ve been putting together over the past year. What’s more, the hard plastics can be used across the range to elevate existing Kings of War models too. Just look at that video below and tell me you’re not excited.Ĭombined with the new Vanguard releases and monsters like the giant and slasher, Mantic now has an absolutely stunning range of fantasy goblins that can be used for a wealth of gaming systems. Now, despite the fact that 2020 has been terrible for so many other reasons, it will be remembered as the year Mantic released the finest hard plastic goblins ever… and I’m not even joking. Yes, I persevered and painted 200 of the little swines but, in my heart, I always knew the goblins deserved better. There was just one slight problem, the original hard plastic goblins from Mantic were an… acquired taste. And, even better, they now had their own army – I didn’t have to buddy up with those brutish, stupid orcs. Of course, when I came to my senses and discovered Kings of War all those years later, I immediately gravitated to goblins. Perhaps it’s my own diminutive height or my natural cunning and love for explosives, but there was something that truly appealed about goblins. Since I started hobbying back in 1991, I was immediately enchanted by the little green menaces. If you’ve been following Mantic for a while you’ll know that I love goblins almost as much as my own children – which is going to be embarrassing in a few year’s time when they start searching the internet. Rob here and I’ll warn you now, I’m about to get very carried away about goblins.
