Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 17 The Great Gaggle of Goblins

Around 10 years ago when GW released Skull pass I bought 3 box sets of it and then promptly put them away to collect dust. I think most of the dwarf bits went to a friend also never to see the light of day. It was about 3 months ago when I got them all out and bagged them up ready to sell at the next gaming convention. And then I played a game of KOW. I had an ogre army that I really loved and I have pretty much finished it now so as I was looking for a new project (Not like I don't have 4 other armies I could rebase) I decided to look at Goblins. I have a few units painted up for my orc army but when I pulled out all the Skull pass minis I had more than enough to start a complete new army. I may use the odd older model but I will mostly use the new ones I think.

I've had 3 games with the Gobbo's and they are rock hard. Legions are the key to the army IMO and I have tables two armies to date. (Got tabled once by efreets but we all know what I think of them)

Anyway I wanted a new theme and I want to show of the display base aspect of the game so I've come up with a dungeon theme for the Goblins.

Here is a pic of the first base which will be a regiment of Fleabag sniffs. I have about 30 spiders (A heap got used in a deamon army but 30 is a good start) and Im going to use them as mounts but I didn't like the forest goblins on them so I will use night goblin archers as the riders.

Anyway here is the first concept unit

There will eventually be 6 spiders in the unit.


There will be a torch on the wall. I tried to paint the base so it looks 

like the torch is lighting the room up.

Anyway let me know what you think. There will be a lot more to come.

Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 16G. The end is Nigh!!!

So I think I'm ready to stick a fork in this army. If I do a revisit I may add another horde of Shooters but apart from that I think I have enough stuff covered to give me a playable list.

I counted up all the bits and I have about 3500 points with no magic items. Not a bad start and about what I had with the other system that shall not be named.

At some point I will do a Video Army showcase to show all the guys.

Anyway here are some pics. They are a bit washed out as I am still getting use to the camera I have at home. I think its the lighting personally.



King Sirruh Wretched Thunderguts Longshanks the Turd.

Heroic Pose.

The Shooters. Cant hit anything but they scare a few people.

Boomers

Siege Breakers

penitent Gobbos Carry a long dead hero to war. This is my other unit od Siege breakers.

Eddie suggested using this guy, a BSB on Chariot with Ensorcelled armour.
At first I was like Pffft, but it survived 3 rounds of attacks from Badger riders and a badger Hero
 in two separate games. And at 140 points he is a cheap inspiration. 

Red Goblin Scouts. The toy Ponies are really fast.

King Steven. King of all the red goblins. (In his mind anyway)

Next up will be my Gobbo Army. Tabled Eddie twice but Kort Tabled me so they can be beaten.

Cheers.

Ogrebanes Omnium Gatherum: Part 16F Fire Support part 3. Ready Aim Fire!

So paint job is done for both these units. They aren't stuck on the bases yet as I need to transport them home and I will do some snow on the bases as well but here's a progress shot.

I want to put a red gobo with a keg on this base to signify the brew of Keen Eyedness.
Also there should be a chain or rope between the stakes which I need to do yet.

The Gobbo that goes with this is painted I just forgot to add him when I took the pic.

Let me know what you think. I will be doing an army review as I think this army is done for now.

Stay tuned.
