[Archive] Goblin Rant!

Willmark:

And twice as expensive to use as bait. And worse. I beat 20 Goblins couldn't chase down and kill three Empire Knights. Eight Hobgoblins can. :D

Maybe on their best day they might. But all things being considered, not likely!

AGPO:

All gobbo armies used to rock in 6th ed, in 7th they’ve been totally nerfed.

Hobgoblyn:

I think a major problem in the comparison here is that Hobgoblins haven’t been updated with the other greenskins. Because of this, their costs, options and abilities are a bit off from where they likely should be.

Thus, you aren’t comparing two things built on equal scale. You are looking at a cost-increased Goblin vs. an out-of-date options Hobgoblin. It isn’t a fair comparison.

You mean like our entire list?

lol i used to always use goblin armies in 6th, but now you cant field enough of them to have a good game

Malificant:

gil, not to be rude, but your sig and avatar together are very distracting and makes it hard to read your posts actually. do you think you could tone it down just a touch? too many moving thingies for my fragile brain!

gIL^:

Hobgoblyn:

You mean like our entire list?

Except that the Dwarfs have not exceptionally changed in price while the goblins have gone up in price by 25%.
The only other things that stand out quite a lot are the fact that there is still an 'Army Standard Bearer' and that calvary has been changed in such a way that Bull Centaurs aren't utilizing rules in line with similar units.

Actually we have rehashed this topic mutiple times now over the last few months.
