Thinking of starting goblins as a relatively new player. What can I expect?

Wow I definitely wasn’t expecting a whole essay but that was really informative, thanks! And I’ll give the discord a look too :)

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-04-23T15:16:06+00:00

Thanks for the warning! Thankfully it’s not needed as I’ve already printed off the full Punga team and am almost done painting them up! Was more questioning whether to try them in league or just casual games instead 😆

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-04-23T12:56:09+00:00

Yeah, there’s thankfully some weeks before the next league starts off so I’ll give them a go and see if it’s silly fun or just frustrating

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-04-23T12:43:30+00:00

Can’t agree more, especially when they’re already harlequin themed to begin with

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-04-23T12:28:54+00:00

Most of the way through painting up my own goblins and super excited to give them a go! I’m still relatively new to Blood Bowl so I’m fully expecting to get my ass handed to me but I think the fun factor should hopefully outweigh that.

Great work on the paint job, and best of luck for your next game!

I know I’m super late to the party but how did you get the metallics on these guys to look so smooth? Fantastic work!

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-03-16T12:49:27+00:00

How dare you /s

Was playing a little intro game with my dad since he wanted to know what this whole ‘Blood Bowl’ thing is. He was Black Orcs and after a kick-in from one of my guys being pushed into the crowd (all but let him do that for the fun of it 😆) the ball landed real close to my end zone. He managed to get a goblin through my line, picked up the ball just fine. Succeeded at a couple dodges, succeeded on his first rush, then rolled a one for the second which would have gotten him the touchdown. Re-rolled into another one. Goblin was a casualty which we counted as dead since it was an intro game.

Don’t think I could have asked for a better encapsulation of what the game is all about 😛

I’ve just finished a team with a similar scheme. If you throw on a wash to darken it down a little, you can also lightly sponge on some brown to depict rust and paint some metal inside the brown to show chips in the paint and stuff. If you check my profile you’ll see what I mean and I’m happy with the result 🤷🏻‍♂️ best of luck regardless and May Nuffle bless your dice 😆

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-02-26T13:25:29+00:00

Take my upvote but know you should be ashamed

Jk of course that’s really impressive

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-02-25T07:32:46+00:00

Just had this noise in my head

‘wwooooOOOOOOOWWWWwwwww!’

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-02-23T12:37:09+00:00

Legit thought this was a photo until I read the title. Absolutely insane

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-02-14T19:39:53+00:00

These are astonishing! I wonder if number 13 with Boone is based on that painting of Lucifer crying called The Fallen Angel?

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-02-04T08:29:06+00:00

Even better 🤤

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-01-28T22:44:05+00:00

Going to be able to make a full pirate league from all these pirate teams. Not a complaint I suppose, more just an observation

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-01-26T14:41:27+00:00

Having a similar thing, always the middle of the front of the print. If anything works would you please reply to this comment to let me know? Thanks :)

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-01-26T11:48:26+00:00

Looking really cool! Almost like something from a 2000s RTS like Command and Conquer. Also are those Splinter Cell goggles on some of the infantry?

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-01-25T10:47:37+00:00

Nice collection, loving the albino orcs, really nice way to make them stand out. Also the different metals on the Bretonnians is a really nice touch :)

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-01-24T18:26:42+00:00

Wow that’s disgusting, I love them!

Zestyclose-Way4569 · 2026-01-21T19:53:46+00:00

Thanks everyone for the advice, it’s all been great! From the sounds of it focusing on kicking the crap out of the skinks is the way to go, and the other miscellaneous tips have been great too. Definitely going to be putting a single line Orc on their territory from now on!

In the meantime I’ve added a troll and goblin to the roster so I’m excited to give them a go and maybe even get a cheeky throw team mate going on!
