I quite enjoyed the themed format of my last post, so this post will be themed around goblin FANATICS! I love the look in empire players' faces when you pull these guys out right in front of their ranks of knights. Any player who's either played with or against these guys has their favorite story of destruction (or dismay!) to recount.
Here is a passage from the 4th edition Orcs and Goblins book about these loonies:
"Night goblins cultivate many kinds of toxic fungi in their dark caves and they are constantly on the look-out for new and exotic varieties. The least toxic ones are eaten with great enthusiasm. Others are used by Shamans to make their foul potions and poisons. One particular variety, known as the Mad Cap, is used as the basis for an intoxicating brew whose effects are legendary among the Night Goblins. This is the brew which turns a Goblin into an ecstatic, gibbering lunatic who is impervious to pain, almost completely unaware of his environment, hugely strong, and completely fearless into the bargain. It is the secret behind the powers of the Goblin Fanatics, probably the most dangerous Goblins of all."
And before you ask the question, I will tell you the answer: you can never have enough fanatics in a night goblin army!
Until next time, stay safe.
Top work dude! I've always been a fan of Fanatics
ReplyDeleteMe too. They are so representative of the craziness of a goblin army
