Description A goblin. This one doesn't dance a magic dance though.

I always pictured Goblins using pole weapons. Why? Well think about it, a goblinΒ is much shorter than a human. Using a short weapon, like a sword, mace, axe, etc it would have problems reaching his opponent at all, not to mention wounding him fatally. From his perspective, it would probably feel like for regular size human to fight a mounted opponent. Therefore, a long spear. Notice how the spearhead has been forged in order to resemble goblins head, with a pointy nose and two ears. the goblin has also an extremely keen sense of hearing and smell, due to those overgrown organs.Β

Some of Clark Ashtron Smith's sculptures had typewritten labels stuck on them, BUT many fell off over the years -and, with no other way to identify them, have simply been called "goblins". Unless with some distinct features (like Surprise).

Ugly and funny. Exactly what makes a goblin awesome and badass. And I''m very fond of his arm armor. Nice job!

And by the logic you've put forward, arrows, crossbows, catapults and ballistas may also be good choices for a goblin army, right?

Nope because goblins have very keen sense of smell and hearing at the cost of poor eyesight

Thanks

That could be fixed with some glasses.

Ha, good point, goblins in big goggles! i am not sure though if they would be smart enough to have such technology as high-quality correction glasses Maybe some of the elite forces, but regular soldiers probably not. I would rather picture them using snares and traps avoiding direct confrontation until the enemy would be demoralized and weakened.

"To Hell with you, Boss. 'I'm not stupid, I'm not expendable and I'm not going.'"

His expression gave me this idea. The double quote is a line from Red Dwarf.

Goes without saying, I've been thinking about watching all of the LOTR's this weekend and I might meet up with a friend to go to the range to let off a few

How about bows and crossbows?

KingsOfEvilArt In reply to PapierowySzczur [2017-12-20 18:38:20 +0000 UTC]

Could work too, but they have weak eyesight and that wouldn't be very effective.

I see. It depends on depictions...
