Hmm, I suppose if you boght several BFSP boxes it wouldn't be THAT expensive (you get about 60 convertable goblins per box), but you would go insane after a while, only so much hood sculpting the mind can take after all
.
A lot of the army lists around here use naked hobgobbos in such numbers that they can soak up a lot of fire (and serve as cannon fodder) but also have a few ranks left when the enemy close in so that they can stand up in a fight.
Personally I feel like that's not such a good idea - any unit that's supposed to be optimised for two roles generally has to sacrifice one or the other. Still, at 2 points a model, who cares?
As to the modelling issue: gnoblars are too small. Remember that hobgoblins are between the size or orcs and goblins, so smaller than a goblin is clearly a step in the wrong direction. Night goblins work (because of the hoods), but remember that hobgoblins can't have spears.
Thanx alot for the info, that is what I was hoping for. Apprciate it, Thommy H, Draconis, and Catbarf. Any other info or expansion is welcome. Thanx
