I recently began assembling a set of the new GW goblins. I bought two boxes because I wanted 4 for my orc team and some for an underworld team.

How many basic goblin models will I need for my goblin team?

I already have two trolls and all 6 "positional" players, but I like the idea of fielding all lineman rosters from time to time so it has to be a minimum of 11...

11 seems like a reasonable number.

Depending on how you model the 'ooligan he can probably stand in for a 12th goblin too.

That should be enough for an all-goblin roster, since I'm assuming the point would be to take advantage of inducements.

I'm using the forgeworld ooligan.


I've got 20 goblins, I just want to know how many I should reserve for my gobbo team and how many I should put up for a future underworld project.

13 guys total is a generally good amount for a goblin team, so minus two trolls you best have 11 or 12 goblins

11 seems about right. On a non all lineman team, you definitely want the two trolls, bringing you up to 12-13.

Then, 3-4 of the cheaters/positionals. (Chainsaw and fanatic are my favourites, but a bomber that gets lucky with hail mary pass can be brilliant fun.)

The doom diver is a great help on throw team mate attempts and the pogoer a good ball-carrier....for a goblin.

The various hardware the gobbos bring at the only way to make gobbos somewhat competitive. I would've leave home without a lot of them.

In the goblin kit, there are a pair of "balls." Those are actually goblins/snotlings disguised as balls. I decided those were aerodynamic enough that one would be my doomdiver.

Why no Bombers?
