Ezekill Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) I have decided to attempt to build and paint an all goblin (gitmob grots) army for OFCC. Any feedback on the list would be appreciated. Also wanted to post updates on progress in order to keep myself in track cause otherwise I tend to get distracted with other projects. I have about 90% of the models with 10% built and 0% painted so I have a long way to go since the army has a model count of 191. I have no idea if I will be able to get it done by OFCC but I will give it my best shot. Anyway the list is as follows Great Gitmob battalion 100pts 60 goblins with bows 300pts 60 goblins with bows 300pts 20 goblins with spears 100pts 6 wolf chariots 240pts 12 nasty skulkers 160pts 12 nasty skulkers 160pts 12 nasty skulkers 160pts 1 goblin shaman 80pts 1 goblin boss on wolf with battle brew 60pts Non battalion units 1 goblin boss 60 pts General with bellowing tyrant, talisman of protection 1 goblin shaman 80pts 5 wolf chariots of 10 wolf riders 200 pts Still trying to decide on the last one. I have the wolf riders but I like the wolf chariots more. If I can get a good deal on eBay for the chariots I will go with them. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

SPaceORK Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Really I have no idea about goblins army composition other than where are the fanatics? They are kinda a iconic goblin unit and very good from what I hear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezekill Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Fanatics are Night Goblins (moonclan) I wanted to keep this army with only one kind of goblins. It's fluffier that way and I already have an all night goblin army so I wanted to try something different. The 2 goblin units with bows get 60 shots each hitting units they outnumber on 2's and wounding them on 5's(4 if they outnumber them 2 to 1) The skulkers hide in units of "gitmob grots" with 5 or more models so they could go with the chariots or the goblins and the chariots are super fast with the destruction move +12 inch base move and the ability to run and shoot and charge not to mention rerolls to run and charge rolls. I was thinking using them to flank and grab objectives and having the goblins wear other units down with numbers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceORK Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Again, not super familiar with goblins but it sounds like mini ork arrowboys. So an army with huge amount of shot and models sounds like a good way to grab objectives while putting out some damage. Plus its fluffy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezekill Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Just ordered the last 20 goblins and they should be here later this week. Now I need to clean the mould lines and put together all 140 of them. Wooooo!!! Edited May 2, 2017 by Ezekill Spelling 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezekill Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Just got the first 59 goblins built. Only 59 cause one of the little buggers wandered off. I'm sure he will turn up somewhere though. Now I just need to base and paint this squad and then move on to the next. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Goblins are like that. There's always at least one who can't get with the program ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceORK Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 If he remains lost you always can "recruit" a orc or empire handgunner. Paint him up goblin-ey and call him Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezekill Posted May 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I decided to go with a desert wasteland theme for the army's bases so in between glueing the guys together I got out my crackle paint and molding paste with some baking soda and worked on one of the chariot bases. In other news "Dave" is still missing I think my parrot may have taken him and hidden him. She likes to "help" me with things that I'm working on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance of a tutorial on that basing technique? It looks amazing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 more to do so I will take some pictures during the process and see what I can put together for you. But it was pretty easy the worst part was waiting for it to dry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
