Make Mince Pies, The Goblin Way…
15th Dec 2022

The Holiday Season is all too often associated with Elves and the Goblins have something to say about it!
Available to Pre-Order from today, The Goblin Mincer (and chariot) Mob is sure to make light work of not only mixing those all important ingredients for festive pies but also more than capable of pulverising enemy ranks of equally delicious troops!
Unlike the predominantly destructive and chaotic evil races of the land, the goblin race is a great maker of things. Perhaps fueled largely by their own physical inadequacies or hierarchical shortcomings, they apply their quick and energetic minds to the conception of occasionally baffling contraptions.
Although hastily and clumsily built, Goblins’ contraptions are not to be underestimated. When yoked to a pair of ferocious Mawbeasts a goblin chariot acts as an ideal skirmisher, harrying foes with bow fire and snapping teeth for any who get too close. Mincers on the other hand, are little more than a sets of whirring blades and drills, forced into enemy lines on a temperamental steam engine.
In celebration of todays release, we asked Goblin “baker” Puk Snarlywood for his perfect Mince Pie recipe:
Greadyents
- 1 large jar minced Elves guts (bout ‘alf a leg)
- 2 Oranges (stolzen from Market), chopped
- zest of giant lizard sweat
- little dandruff for dusting
For pastyree
- heaped helmet of plain flour
- ‘andful of Mawbeast milk
- plenty of sugar, plus extra for sprinkling (more sugar, more energy for battle!)
- 1 large Scorchwing egg, plus 2 egg for throwing at annoying kitchen hand
How do it
- STEP 1
Place all mince gubbins in large Ogre helmet and mixxy it good.
- STEP 2
mixxy all pastyree gubbins in ‘nother helmets till it’s stikky.
- STEP 3
mould pastyree round a tin or helmet and add mince gubbins and lid.
- STEP 4
Put on top of Mincer engine or stick in t’ fire till smells good. Enjoy!
On the battlefield is where the Mincer really excels however! Taken in a “mob” of two or three, they can really pack a punch! Just look at that attack column!
With Crushing Strength (1) AND Thunderous Charge (1) they are certainly there to stand at the back and look pretty , though these new hard plastic kits are indeed very very pretty!
Find all the stats in the Kings of War 3rd Edition Compendium or on the brilliant new Mantic Companion App.
If you wish to try your hand at baking or better still want to crush your enemies, then Pre-Order the Mincer Mob today! This fantastic new set is due for release on the 16th January and is available from our webstore and of course your Friendly Local Gaming Store!
And don’t forget this great kit also makes chariots too! This set contains 3 Goblin Chariots (that can make mincers too) and Goblin crew for each one!
Yes that’s right THREE! Enough to make a regiment and at fantastic value too!
