First off, here is a shot of the whole army.

On the both flanks, i've placed 30-man units of Night Goblin Bowmen to shoot down light cavalry. 260 Goblin Spearmen, divided into five units, take up the center. In support, 3 Spear Chukkas, 2 Lobbas, a Giant, and 2 mangler squigs will hopefully make a bloody mess of the enemy's lines before they get to my weedy little goblins.



Here is Eugene, the Agoraphobic Giant. In every game he either smashes apart multiple regiments of troops like it is nothing, or takes a cannonball to the face first turn and drops dead. Such is the life of a Giant I suppose.


Made from an old fanatic model, Warlord Snikrott is leaping off of a large boulder, manically swinging his ball and chain. This pose really makes him stand out in his unit, as it seems as if he is leaping out, ready to smash some dwarven skulls.
Gitsnik, Battle Standard Bearer. I converted him by replacing his banner with the Bad Moon from the Night Goblem totem from the Battle for Skull Pass. He is probably my favorite model, as he really stands out from the rest of his unit with his oversized Bad Moon on a stick.

Last but not least, the Mangler Squig! I sculpted him from scratch (1st sculpt ever!) and i'm pretty happy with how he turned out. Although it is hard to see it in the photos, I made him really nasty, with dirt & mold spreading out of his unwashed areas.
