[Archive] Swiss's Night Goblins

Swissdictator:

I’m working on a Night Goblin themed army.

What’s the poll for

First off, I will host a poll on what to name it. The two options are:

The Laughing Morrsleib Tribe

Filled with crazy Night Goblins from a tribe whose first glimpse of “outs there!” was lit by the green light of Morrsleib. Honoring it, their shields hold have a green moon.

The Tribe of the Cave of Caerbannog

I’ll let you figure this one out.

For my warmachines, I’m going to have “looted” Dwarf warmachines with Night Gobbo crews. I will make my custom own Doom Diver, crewed by Night Goblins. This will not only help solidify the Night Goblin theme (and why they have warmachines) by using stolen Dwarf equipment, but save me cash too.

I will probably fit in some trolls too eventually, not entirely sure. I think it’d fit. Stone trolls, as it seems easier to justify. So I might wait to see if plastic Stone trolls are down the pipe line. Plus I have lots of night gobbos to paint as is, so those can wait.

Each unit will have different colored dags. Fanatics might not always match, but the actual units will have different colored ones. This adding a little variety unit to unit. Plus, with Night Goblins, you still have an overall consistency via the black robes. The shields will be the same unit to unit (green moon).

Here’s the first unit and some fanatics:

"Sharp pointy teeth!"

I quite like the name for a mine of “Roodpart”

Sounds funny, and has a badly hidden message.

Swissdictator:

A mildly converted Shaman. Inspired from some art in the book. Also I lost his staff, so I had to replace it. I think it works quite nicely. He’ll be my Great Shaman.

Perhaps he died while writing it?
