	*'''Flaggit:''' The cheaper version of a biggit. It can also be mounted on a fleabag. Not very good and terrible in melee, but it is 20 points cheaper for a source of Inspiring.		*'''Flaggit:''' The cheaper version of a biggit. It can also be mounted on a fleabag.

	*'''King:''' ~~Essentially a better version of a biggit. For 30~~ points more ~~you get~~ 2 more attacks and ~~nerve. Not a very good trade up~~.		*'''King:''' The bigger melee hero to the Biggit, costs 15 points more for 2 more attacks, 18" Shortbow, Ra 4+ and +3 to both Nerve values.

	*'''Wiz:''' Your caster choice. Comes standard with Lightning Bolt (3), but can be upgraded to have Bane Chant (2), Fireball (6), and/or Wind Blast (5). Cheap at 45 points and versatile with the different options. It can also be mounted on a fleabag to become cavalry like many goblin heroes.		*'''Wiz:''' Your caster choice.

			*'''Groany Snark:''' Technically just an upgrade to a Goblin King, gives them Fly, Speed 10, Thunderous Charge 2, Blast (D3 - Melee), but can run the risk of their Irongoblin suit breaking at the start of a turn and hurting everyone nearby.

Army Special Rules

	*'''Utterly Spineless:''' ~~All units in this army~~ have ~~Yellow Bellied unless otherwise noted~~, ~~meaning you need to roll~~ a ~~D6 any time you want to charge the front of an enemy~~ unit. On a ~~roll~~ of ~~1 the charge fails. Fun times~~.		Thanks to 3rd Edition, '''Utterly Spineless''' is no longer a rule, instead Goblins get something better.

			*'''Mawpup:''' A unit with a Mawpup gets 6 bonus attacks that hit on 4+ and have Crushing Strength (1). These attacks are rolled separate from the unit's attacks, they do not benefit from buffs/debuffs on the unit, and are not doubled/tripled when flanking a unit. One-use only, and a unit can only have one of these at a time, though you can reload a unit's mawpups.

	Take 2-3 Winggits, take as many warmachines that benefit from the marking ability as possible. Everything else is screening tarpits, or spitters to shoot down flyers. Deploy defensively and focus down threats one at a time with your artillery. Spitters aren't going to do much to most infantry blocks, we just need them to stop shit flying over the tarpits while the lobbers etc deal with whatever hammers the other side has first.		Take 2-3 Winggits, take as many warmachines that benefit from the marking ability as possible. Everything else is screening tarpits, or spitters to shoot down flyers and help finish off targets. Deploy defensively and focus down threats one at a time with your artillery. Spitters aren't going to do much to most infantry blocks, we just need them to stop shit flying over the tarpits while the lobbers etc deal with whatever hammers the other side has first. Spitters also finish off units that are too damaged from your artillery to be worth a second turn of shooting.

War Engines

	===War Engines===		===War Engines===
	*'''Big Rocks Thrower:'''		*'''Big Rocks Thrower:''' Its cheap, not very good stat-wise when compared to most warmachines (that are almost twice the cost), and something you always take in numbers. If you're taking one, you should be taking a second with it. If you have two on the board, see if you can fit a third, oh and always have a winggit to mark for it. Has blast D3+1, piercing 3, 48" range, indirect and ignores cover. Benefits from Winggit marking.

	*'''Sharpstick Thrower:'''		*'''Sharpstick Thrower:''' Literally the same as above, only piercing 2, blast D3, no indirect fire, no ignores cover, but cheaper and RA 4+. You take these after you've hit the limit for Big Rocks Thrower. Goblin artillery is about quantity. Benefits from Winggit marking.

	*'''War-Trombone:''' <strike>Musical war machine with a breath attack; like a fantasy version of [[Noise Marines]].</strike> Nah, sadly it's basically just a giant blunderbuss. It can't strike in melee, but gets 12 attacks with Breath Attack that have Piercing (1). Tons of potential for unit conversions for this bad boy.		*'''Mawpup Launcher:''' RA 4+, 36" range, indirect, ignores cover and Blast D3, but no piercing. Can also shoot allies with the Mawpup Cage keyword to reload their Mawpups ability. Adds a bit more use to some units, and helps to get more warmachines on the table for your Winggit to buff. Benefits from Winggit marking.

	*'''Mincer:''' It slices and dices. Comes with Big Shield, Brutal, and Thunderous Charge (3), which is all pretty good. Only getting damaged on a 6 from the front is nice, although a 4+ will damage it in any other arc. You want this thing to be charging into your foes with protection on either side to keep it alive. It gets D6+6 attacks each melee, so it can vary wildly in how much damage it is doing, but Thunderous Charge (3) is generally ensuring you're always hitting. Offensively the mincer does the same amount of damage as a giant if it still has it's TC so its a cheap unit your opponent has to deal with. Not bad at 80 points.		*'''Mincer:''' It slices and dices.

			*'''Winggit:''' THANK YOU VANGUARD! Seriously, this is the best thing to be given to goblins, a flyer that can bomb shit, AND IT MARKS TARGETS FOR YOUR ARTILLERY! Ok so the target marking is a 10pt upgrade, but its mandatory for the buff to your warmachines. It does mean you need to take several warmachines to get the most value, which you should, as Goblin warmachines are cheap and individually weak, but in numbers and with the target marking buff from a Winggit, they get scary. Taking one is fine if your opponent has never dealt with this combo, otherwise run a pair because anyone who's been on the receiving end of this will prioritise your flyer.
