It takes a lot of Night Goblins to make an army – 132 to be precise, according to my army list. There are three large blocks of infantry in the horde, two with spears and shields, the other with short bows. The whole army has base colours on already and the command groups are finished, but that still leaves a lot of rank and file to be completed.
I managed to get through the first mob, five figures at a time. The plan is to keep this up, while also working on other projects for variety. We’ll see how that goes.

The fun (and most of the effectiveness) of a horde of Night Goblins lies in the whacky special weapons they can bring along. I’ve added netters to the regiment, which reduce the strength of attackers (if all goes well and they don’t entangle their own side).

In addition, there is a Fanatic hidden among their ranks, drugged up on mushroom brew and wielding a massive ball and chain, who will be shoved in the path of a charging enemy at the right moment.

This is about a third of the army completed, leaving two more regiments and an assortment of squigs. I could also do with some more mountainous terrain, so I might give building foam hills a try.

Very nice! :-)

Thanks! These Battle for Skull Pass figures still seem to be widely available second hand. They’d go well with your Bad Moonz!

Thanks, I am already eyeing up the possibility of a third mob, so I could form a mega mob of 100+ eventually…

Awesome work. I always wanted a goblin army. I did manage a unit of 40 night goblins, along with 2 units if 8 wolf riders. All that remains now is a single squig hopper in its blister and an ork with a whip from the catapult set.

That is enough of a force to play a game of Saga AoM with, or Warhammer Warbands! As much as I love mass battle armies, it is good to have a few games systems to use them for along the way during the muster.

It is indeed. I still have my 5th edition Wood Elves and a fair few of the 5th Edition knights.
