Of the six new faction releases (Forces of Nature isn't really new - the only new model there was the druid in the starter set) for Vanguard, the goblins have to be my favorite. Not for the plastic rabble in the starter set - but all the actual new models.
For a demo warband, I simple had to feature as many of the new models as I could.
To build it, I kind of started backward. The first thing was the large model - I simply HAD to have a winggit. This is simply a fantastic resin model. I used brown ink over a white primer for the wood, with a couple of places getting a second coat or a sepia wash to add some variety to the shades there. With this as the start, I then used inks for most of the rest of the model and the warband (so it is a little brighter than most).
The second model had to be the Mawpup launcher. This is such a fun model - and some people will comment that it seems cruel - but you can see the pups LOVE it - they want to go for a ride.
So now that I had a large and support model - I need some grunts and warriors to fill out the warband. Two rabble from the metal reinforcement pack - one with a spear.
Two spitters (yes, I bought two of the reinforcement packs because I liked them so much). I tried to angle the bow and arm to add a little variety to the minis.
Two luggits are warriors, and add a bit of strength for those high armor models.
Finally, a sneak - one point more than a luggit, and again a cool model.
Of course what are goblins without a Wiz to to zap a bit. While this is not a new model, it is still a great one.
And a biggit for command.
Not sure how they will do on the table, but I do predict that they will get a lot of attention (especially the winggit).
Right now if I make a personal warband, I'm leaning toward these guys.
Because it is all fun and games . . .
