Et In Arcadia Ego
|
Hi there,
Over the past few months we’ve had some great Warhammer Forge releases, most on a monstrous scale! This week we’re going to shrink things down a little with the release of a new resin character set for the malicious and spiteful Night Goblins, which is available to pre-order now.
Night Goblin Command Set
Prevalent throughout the Old World, the Night Goblins of the Worlds Edge Mountains have developed into a sun-hating sub-species of the greenskin race. Considered particularly vicious and cruel for their kind, they are infamous for their cultivation of dangerously hallucinogenic fungus and their skill at rearing the bizarre and improbable Cave Squigs.
Individually cowardly, when Night Goblins gather in massed ranks they are renowned for their maliciousness, and it is the Night Goblin Warbosses and Big Bosses that most epitomise this bullying spite, having risen to their position through treachery and backstabbing. In battle it is common for one of a Warboss’s underlings to be given a tattered, filthy and terribly ostentatious battle standard. Unlike the proud colours carried by other armies, the primary function of this banner is not as a symbol to rally around, but instead to boast of the power and majesty of the Warboss himself.
The most powerful (or most foolhardy) of these warlords sometimes ape the heroes of other races, and ride to battle on Great Cave Squigs, hand-reared at the cost of many dozens of Night Goblin handlers. The natural ferocity and toughness of these obnoxious beasts is also often augmented by crude armour plating, bolted and nailed to the Squig’s thick hide.
Night Goblin Shamans are sinister and crazed individuals, due to their consumption of huge quantities of the powerfully hallucinogenic fungus for which the Night Goblins are renowned. Their spells are malicious and spiteful, much like the Goblins themselves, and often accompanied by unnecessary additional effects such as puffs of oddly coloured smoke, obnoxious smells, and overly loud bangs.
The Night Goblin Command Set, designed by Keith Robertson, contains three multi-part resin models: a Night Goblin Warboss on Great Cave Squig, a Night Goblin Boss carrying a Battle Standard, and a Night Goblin Shaman. All are packed with fantastic and characterful details, from the severed beards and skulls of slain Dwarfs, to the heroic, martial pose of the Warboss and the malicious grin of the Squig he’s riding, to the sign of the ‘bad moon’ forming in the smoke billowing from the mouth of the Shaman.
This fantastic character set is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 25th January.
Thanks,
Ead Brown

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

I dig how in a setting where giant, muscled fungus men ride Mad Max cars and use their own teeth as currency, the concept of little engineering dudes with beards was considered a step too far down the aisle of silliness. ADB |

Like 'em all, but especially the cave squig!

I will certainly be adding these to my O&G army! Very sweet models. After seeing these, I'm now hoping for Armoured Squig Cavalry from Forgeworld.

these guys were previewed in the last two WD issues...
they are sculpted by Keith, a former 'Eavy Metal painter...
i am always impressed when a painter turns sculptor, since i can barely sculpt toffee...
the preview of the Dwarf and Empire guys is impressive, as well...
there is a nice command group coming for those two armies...
Black Fire Pass should be an excellent book...
Forgeworld does it the way GW should...
cheers

Looks good. And amusingly now cheaper than GW, considering they are charging 15 for this POS alone...

I was going to be starting an entirely savage orcs army, but I think it may now be a joint force split between savage orcs, and night goblins, just because of how awesome these are.
Also, does anyone else here think that the squiggle reminds them of an Uruk-hai?

I dunno - I would have been happier to have them available seperately.
I don't dig the shaman (and have 4 N. Goblin shaman already). The squig is badass though, and the BSB is nice enough.
These might just be my first FW purchases.

Shaman doesn't work for me, although as jah-joshua points out, it may be the paint job. Like the other two though.

Sounds like there will be enough of those on swap shop soon enough, though

Well, that is the first Squid I don't actually loath. That's probably because it's made to look vicious instead of silly. Hopefully FW will do more stuff like this in their WHFB range.

Lovin the shaman and the squig, bsb is not bad but nothing special. I like it fine but it is what it is, an immensely fragile bsb from fw that will snap if you look at it funny

At £30 in total, only £10 each
There is no way you'd get models that good for £10 each at GW
The Finecast Warboss on Great Squig is £15 alone

Hmm... From GW: AUD$39 for Night Goblin Riding Squig AUD$22 for the Shamen AUD$40 for a BSB (average price looking at several BSBs) Total = AUD$101 From FW: AUD$52.80 (including shipping) Hmm...
