[Archive] Hobgoblin hoards

Kera foehunter:

I was wounding since I’m going to start my Hobgoblins.

is it better to make them as archer or axmen

or since they are a hoard to just mix weaponds but to have tons of them

Doing foot troops

Latter will be the wolfriders

Thanks kera

DAGabriel:

Hoards of both of them  and many more varieties! Just got my fingers on a set of Oglah Khan and his wolfboys and I intend to mix all the older ones into  my hord regardless of their weapons.
I am still thinking about the problem of the wolves, think for sake of my collection I will put the normal Wolfriders on old school wolves and Oglah, Ghazak and the rest of the mongols on the fenrisian wolves.

Kera foehunter:

I probably stick with the old wolves i have a away to make them look good

Kera foehunter
Please show! Will take some time but I will have to try to make them look as good as possible.

Kera foehunter:

throw they don’t fit my army now with pirate hobgoblins

I still like the wolfs

I just cut the gw wolf heads off and gut back to there ears and removed the hump

DAGabriel:

Good job, luckily I just have one wolf finished, so the other ones give me some leeway for experimentation. Slaves come your way!

Personally, I like arming thm with bows and shields - a little extra shooting can be fun and people don’t expect it to do much, but it often takes that extra wound you need and doesn’t cost much, pointswise. The shields make them a little resilint in combat as well - for half a point a model, they get a combat ward save and an armour save that may occassionally be used which’ll frustrate your opponents that such cheap models won’t die as easily and even if they do, won’t affect most of your army psychologically.

Kera foehunter:

well you could always add bows to any figure too . Thanks H B

Kera foehunter:

here is what i came up with

I used a skaven clan rat  for the bace

Kera, I see you post about modeling stuff but I have never seen you post anything about actually playing a Warhammer game.  Ever!  So if you’re a modeler/painter kind off gal, go with whatever you you’ll enjoy the most.  But if you’re actually fielding the army, I’d do a mix.  You can put the bowmen in the front two ranks of an archery unit and have a mix of bowmen and hand weapon & shield models helping fill out the rest.  Or conversely you can have hobbos with hand weapons and shields in the front two ranks with a few bowmen mixed into the other ranks.  Unless you’re planning on attending a GW tournament, I don’t think anyone will object to a disorganized-looking hobgoblin unit.

Your test archer looks great!

But my Passion is to have the best looking army on the game board…

I gave this a lot of though and in those few words is my warhammer Game…

I have change this 3 time and this is the best way to explain my passion

Kera foehunter:

But with that said . i do enjoy playing the game I play 2 to 3 time a month.

i love the game more than most people i play. I do not see myself as a geek .

Because i lack the ability of quoiting the rules .or care to.

I have played warhammer since 03 and played in the storm of Chaos where i have a slayer army

and slayer pirates :slight_smile: I played the Nemusus crown also…

I have alway love dwarfs and the only other army i play is ogre . But i don’t call myself a player

I ask alot of question because i like to know things. Thommy h is going to write me a book on things i should know he said it 2000 pages

Same with the painter here and other green stuff people of this site

so this is why i don’t call my self a hobbyist

eather.

so this would be how i see my self in the warhammer gamming part.

So for thows who don’t know me there you go

You’re a…a…a…an ogre?! Oh woe!

Groznit Goregut:

Best advice is to mix them up a bit. As long as 51% of the unit has what you want, you can put it almost anything. Make some with bows. Make some with shields. Make some with both. You might end up with 60 models that you can only use 50 of at one time, but you will have all the bases covered.
