Its well done, its just something about it does not look quite right, not sure whats going on, looks more like a dance, than it does a throw.

From the pose it looks more like he's about to throw the goblin directly in to the ground rather than any distance.

Based on my experience with Throw Team-Mate, that's a pretty realistic outcome.

What are the 'Benefits of Training' cards? Are they a 5th deck choice (that are not featured in season 1 / special play card variants pdf) or a deck with different rules?

Fifth and sixth deck choices I believe.

I thought about converting one as a baseball pitcher in the middle of his wind-up. It might represent just how stupid Trolls are, showing up for the wrong sport. :-)

That was a genius idea. Have an exalt; have another if you actually do it.

Sorry, I have to post this here



The traduction its: "GW becoming reconciled with the Spanish market"

It's what the people want.

I'm hoping that the Goblins come with at least one Troll. Just for some variety. I expect Forgeworld to come up with a Ripper model along with the 4 special weapons goblins (or is it going to be 6?)

If there was going to be a troll that came with goblins, it would have been this one holding a goblin.

I think what Anpu was suggesting was because Goblins can take 3 trolls, so maybe we'll get lucky and their sprue will come with a troll (seeing how goblins are small and all the BB team sprues have been the same size thus far, there might be left over room on the sprue). Otherwise it's going to look pretty derpy having 2 trolls in such an oddly specific pose.

I'm not going to be holding my breath though. I think for now I'm just going to use an old troll model I have kicking around and wait and see if GW or FW bring out something else. Reposing this troll is likely going to be too much of a pain in the arse.

EDIT: My mistake, Goblin teams can only take 2 trolls, in that case I doubt GW will include a troll on the Goblin sprues, maybe FW will release a star player troll though?

someone knows when goblin team comes?

Bright crusaders & Deathroller May
Orcland Raiders June
Something and something in July

I guessed Goblins and Elven Union and Hastings said one was right. Presumably that's the Goblins and something else.

We already have the Deathroller up for preorder and it comes out end of March, not May.

Good point - he did actually say in that discussion that he wasn't expecting that even as early as May; so it looks like they've surprised him even more.

I believe that bright crusaders will be from forgeworld (other plastic human team isnt a good idea)

And i hope that new teams will be plastic.

One new team each month please

Yup, crusaders and raiders are resin upgrades. Maybe we'll see the resin booster for the Skaven before too long too

From Hastings:

As for BB I think we all have pretty much the same information, the team working on it have been pretty open with what they are planning in the upcoming year, IIRC there's a plastic goblin team with resin secret weapons, resin skaven booster, plastic elf (not 100% sure which but seem to think I was told union), more resin star players (mainly from Death Zone 2), resin dark elf team, nurgle team (have been told this is resin, but also that it is plastic, so no idea which is correct/most up to date), and at a later time a plastic chaos team with a new minotaur (hoping this is plastic and not resin but I don't know), there's also a couple more card pitches (I think also including a special event one I seem to remember) as well as the neoprene/mousemat material one, and obviously DZ2. Plenty to look forward to!

Right, I know what I meant. I mean that if they were to have sculpted multiple Trolls, one to sell separately and one to put on the goblin sprues, then the one holding the goblin would have been the one they put on the goblin sprues, so seeing it sold separately means the odds of there being a different one with the goblins is pretty close to nil.

Not necessarily, I'd just imagine the one that takes up less space on the sprue would be the one included with the goblins.

Yes, this one took up 2 small sprues by itself...

Sometimes with my goblins, I'll purposely go low TV to induce a star player... and sometimes that can be Ripper the Troll. Ripper is awesome.

Though having an non-throwing troll included in the Goblin team kit would incentivize non-throwing Orc players to buy the Goblins as well, and the clampack would incentivize throwing Goblin players to buy that even with the troll in kit.

Not that I think it's particularly likely that they include a Big Guy in a team kit at all. Though if, per Hastings, they're making secret weapons resin as well, I'm not sure what else they'd include in Goblins. Maybe only some of the weapons are resin and the rest are in the kit? Or - less likely but interesting to speculate about - could they possibly be changing the rules for Goblins in DZ2 so there are more standard positionals? Maybe they'd try to make them into more of a standard team.

Personally I'm interested in more information about the Skaven resin upgrade. I need more players for my team but don't want to be proxying them for months just to avoid buying another box now.

While I can somewhat agree that FW isn´t really showing off their Star Players and Big Guys with their paintjobs but the miniatures themselves are pristine when in hand and unpainted.

My guess (and my hopes) are that we'll see Goblins in plastic and Dark Elves in resin. It seems whenever someone asks about teams beyond the first four plastic teams, they have always gotten a response of "We plan on making more teams in resin, like Dark Elves...." or at least from what I recall.

As far as Elves go I'd absolutely love to see a Wood Elf team, I think the other Elvish teams aren't too hard to make with existing models (either GW conversions or 3rd party) but the Wood Elves are a bit lacking.

Though more than anything I'd love to see a Lizardmen team using the aesthetic seen in the video game.

I would be happy with any elves at this point, even DE that I just cannot seem to do well with, no matter how hard I try !!

I find it very frustrating that they are bringing out a Goblin team before any elves !!

I'm similarly frustrated that the Ork team doesn't have a goblin yet. To each their own, I guess.

There are plenty of 3rd party teams available that are just amazing sculpts.

I imagine the goblins are getting their team this early because you can take goblins in the Orc team, and then that's also why the special weapons are apparently going to be resin and not plastic as the Orcs can't use those.

I wish I could use third party sculpts, there are indeed some quality ones, but I will be playing at Warhammer World most of the time.

I am also waiting for some extra orc blockers and black orcs to be released as well as the gobbo, not sure why they decided to release star players before they made these.

It seems like a pretty half arsed re release of the game so far to me.

I cannot wait for the Amazons.
