Day 16- Spear of Destiny
It’s time the Goblins got something special. Although remember that Goblins benefit from the Axe special rule too.
Today’s miniature wields the fourth Specialist Weapon, the Spear. Spears are long and surprisingly nimble thrusting weapons which can allow a model to attack from spaces it wouldn’t normally be able to. In today’s window you should find a Goblin armed with one of these pointy sticks… beware! They are VERY pointy!
The usual Goblin symbol on the map will now indicate a Goblin armed with an Axe. The symbol shown above will represent a Goblin with a Spear. There’s also a new Character Card showing the model’s weapon. All the other stats are the same. A sheet of these can be found ready to print HERE. As with the Gnome weapons, if you are commanding the Goblins you may choose which weapons you give each of your models.
A model using a Spear can Take a Swing at a model two spaces away instead of just adjacent, even if there’s another model in the space between. It can also be used to attack an enemy diagonally adjacent to the Spear-carrying model.
In the example above, Goblin A is attacking the Gnome. Goblin B could not normally join in the fight, he’s too far away, but armed with a Spear he can reach through Goblin A to have a jab at the Gnome. From Goblin C’s position he would not normally be able to target the gnome but his Spear allows him to Take a Swing diagonally.
