From the workbench of the esteemed Horati0nosebl0wer

Typically the love for shortness falls on the shoulders of dwarves and halflings. Here I think the overlooked collection of goblins and kobolds should be seen and proudly walk tall in the limelight. Beetles also get a hard time so I think they should be given tender treatment too.

A proper short king, or atleast warlord, starts off the list of silliness. Considering the SAGA Lords of the Underearth list this violates the idea of a subterranean flying unit. As you can be crazy with list mix and match, a Great Kingdoms list would allow the figure if you truly needed WYSIWYG.

Thinking back to Age of Wonders on pc with its Giant Beetles unit and crossing it with the goblin Knights from the movie Labyrinth I believe there is enough brain food to kick off some good paint. This, in my mind, is a good alternative to overly prevelant spider riders.

Oh the goodness of nostalgic videogames. I go back to the Monster Rancher series and present Beaclon. Its a monster you can raise or gain through random cd/DVD reading. Enter now this uber-mega-chonky boy not related to overpriced GW plastic.

Having watched Starship Troopers I thought this addition of an insect like the Tanker Bug was appropriate. On a smaller scale, relatively, there are also other huge beetles available on MMF.

As SAGA Age of Magic isn’t complete without magic I proffer this handsome fellow and his trusty mount. I guess it can also be used as an alternate to the Warlord if qualified as a mount on a 60mm base.

Now, the army isn’t quite complete without regular troops so a mix and match assembly of goblins and kobolds can be put together for a full force. I guess the only real issue might be any flying units you might want to chuck in, you know, for funsies. (And since there’s a limit of 12 slots for entries I write this here)
