Fantasy Flight Prepares a Horde of Goblins
Fantasy Flight Games has announced the release of a new expansion for Richard Borg’s BattleLore in Q3 2010: Horrific Horde, which is subtitled “Goblin Army Pack.” ($40)
While this expansion will include 42 goblin figures, it contains only two new types of troops, with all of the previous troop types appearing in either the BattleLore base set or the Goblin Marauders expansion. Those new troops are Goblin Halberdiers, who fight well against cavalry, and Ogres. While some players will lament the minimal amount of novelty in the expansion, others will be pleased that they can now do battle with an entire goblin army instead of a mixed human/goblin army.
In addition to the figures, Horrific Horde includes five new scenarios, new unit summary cards, and 15 cards for the Call to Arms expansion so that players can build customized Goblin armies. Pics of the new figures are on the FFG website.
This game has been added to Gone Cardboard.
