Goblin Wolf Rider Mob

Across the desolate reaches of the Badlands and the dark canopies of the Great Forest, many Goblin tribes reject permanent settlements entirely, preferring a life of perpetual migration. They travel in immense, ramshackle caravans of creaking wagons, held together by spit, sinew, and stolen iron. To survive this hostile nomadic existence, these Goblins have mastered the taming of Giant Wolves—monstrous, agile predators bred for endurance and cruelty. Ahead of the main horde ride the Wolf Rider scouts, operating in lean, hungry packs. They are the eyes of the tribe, identifying enemy vulnerabilities and picking off isolated stragglers. On the battlefield, they are masters of harassment; they do not stand and fight, but instead encircle their prey, unleashing a hail of crude arrows before charging in to exploit the chaos. By the time the enemy prepares to strike back, the Wolf Riders have already vanished into the wilderness, leaving nothing but the wounded and the dead in their wake.

Flintloque Goblin Caçadores

In the world of Flintloque, the fantasy Napoleonic setting, the Goblins are based on the army of Portugal.

The Caçadores were the elite light infantry troops of the Portuguese Army, in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

These Flintloque Goblin Caçadores are from my own collection and are some of my favourite minatures and I am also really pleased with their painting.

Models on the Car Wars Workbench

Back in November 2019, I saw that Steve Jackson Games were going to “release” a revised sixth edition of Car Wars, using 1/64th scale models though Kickstarter. I took the plunge and ordered Car Wars 6th Edition on Kickstarter. Here we are in June 2022 and the box has finally arrived.

North America, A.D. 2070. It’s a new American frontier. The collapse of the U.S. government plunged the country back into the good old days — days of wilderness lawlessness, banditry, regional dictators, and of the men and women who combat them. Modern-day knights and gunslingers are in demand; but the automobile has replaced the horse, and the machine-gun and recoilless rifle have made the sword and Winchester obsolete. Car Wars is the game of autoduelling; futuristic vehicular combat where the right of way goes to the biggest guns. Players design their cars — complete with weapons, accessories, and crew — and then take them into the arena where one emerges victorious . . . and the others are annihilated.

In the core set I got there are two boxes each with six cars. These are really nice sharp castings and have a lot of detail. I really like all the vehicles. They are 1/64th scale models.

These are the six cars in Miniatures Box A.
