Mantic’s Word for a Group of Goblins? A Rabble of Course!
June 19, 2012 by brennon
Mantic Games have shown off some of the upcoming Kings of War Goblins ready to surge out to take over the world of Mantica. Check out the Rabble and Sharpsticks below...
First up is the Goblin Rabble looking, well, rebellious? I really like the style of the Kings of War Goblins with this leaning more towards sprites and gremlins than say the Warhammer Fantasy ones. Nice mix of the comic and malicious.
Next up are the Sharpsticks. You can tell where they got their obviously original name from can't you. Nice shield design and once again cool facial expressions on these Goblins. The range has an interesting old school feel to it too but matched with some pretty awesome painting on these preview models.
The Kickstarter Campaign is also nearly over. Make sure to make some last minute pledges.
Will you be taking Goblins as your troops of choice in Kings of War?

I hope this means that the goblins will be in plastic this time.
The Spitters (archers) are all on plastic sprues, but I gather the Rabble and Sharpstick models are using metal shields and weapons until the resources are there to make those pieces plastic too. At least it hasn’t made much difference to the price and it’s still better than all-metal spearmen as I believe the heads were moulded on there whereas now they are separate for variety…plus these still look cool, so it’s definitely an overall win! 🙂
Yet another missed opportunity to employ the collective noun, “gaggle.” Think about it, a gaggle of goblins.
What do you call a Dawrf with its head up an Elf’s skirt? Goblin!
