Anyone ever notice this? in the Ravening Hordes list is says that all hobgoblin wolfriders must be 10+? Is that true of Gobbos? I don't play them or often play against them...

I would think 5+ for wolfriders would be plausible.
5+ for normal gobbo wolf riders. The 10+ on hobgobbos is a result of space saving: wolves are an upgrade for normal hobgoblins rather than a unit in themselves, so they get the same size limits.
But common/night goblins on foot have a minimum unit size of 20, so it balances out - our sacrificial cavalry units have to be bigger, but they don't get disposable "bait and draw" units for 40pts. Just as well really - who remembers the days when you could have three fanatics in a unit of 5 nightgoblins?
