Don’t Get Within Spitting Distance of these Kings of War Goblins!
May 17, 2012 by brennon
Running down a week of Kings of War content, Mantic are showing off one of their upcoming units for the Goblins, the Spitters. Check out the nasty little devils below...
These archers (or Spitters, what a lovely name!) are going to be in plastic and also be part of the new two player box set released in July. From the cover art we have seen the assumption is that this will be Orcs versus the mighty Undead hordes. I'm rather liking these cheeky chaps and my thought is possibly to pick some up to grace a dungeon with. They could make pretty good goblins, or indeed hobgoblins.
Will you be starting up a Goblin army in the new edition?

Good to see a bigger photo, I was worried the bow drawing arms were underdetailed, but they have naturalistic roughness and sharp little nails so they look good. The metal sculpts work just as well with the bows as with the spears and shields – they look tricksy, sneaky and stabby. Looks like there are a couple of extra heads in the set so there should be some more variety than the metals – if they’re separate from the bodies like with the orcs then that’ll be even better. Here’s hoping for an unboxing! 🙂
Something in those goblins makes me laugh. It has to be those long noses.
I was thinking the same thing @mecha82 they are rather funny looking. I can see myself with them in my army.
Ahhhh! Plastic Goblins. At last! Wonderful!
Goblins SHOULD make you laugh!
