Just a quick hobby update: I’ve mentioned before that the goblin army box I got as a gift wasn’t high quality as it’s very early mantic stuff. (probably the start-of-company goblin box, somewhere in 2013 or 2014). (https://kingsofwarvince.business.blog/2018/12/16/the-curious-case-of-my-goblin-detachment-1/) while this remains true for the goblin spitters and sharpsticks (same base model) it is most definately … Continue reading Quick hobby update – goblin biggit.

The curious case of my goblin detachment (1)
Early 2018, I wanted to do a goblin detachment. The reasoning was threefold: a) A buddy gave me a goblin battalion to build as he didn't like the minis. And frankly, he's right. The early Mantic goblins are abysmal. The stuff I see on the interweb from these days is much better, but the early … Continue reading The curious case of my goblin detachment (1)
