This looks very appealing! I wish I didnāt already have the softback & hardback rules now! 
Although maybe if it is reprinted with the errataā¦ ?

Some more news on the Halpiās Rift suplement, again on the Mantic blog.
I am looking forward for the campaign setting and CoK 2021 adjustments. It looks some special characters are returning, I would like to see Flaxhoof back with a nice aura to enpower my centaurs that seem to underperform quite a bit.

Can you build spear rats and single have weapon rats with that kit?
And is the starter set rule book just the basic rule book again?

Until you have a 7th, how on earth are you going to have an 8th or 9th?

a valid point there
Does anyone know how āexclusiveā the exclusive models are?
Is this the only way to get them? By buying this set?

Unfortunately not a fan of the new goblins. I still would like ārabbleā but from the photo so far it looks like the weapon is ridiculously bigā¦
Canāt argue with that logic, my bank account however may be able to argue.

no word at the moment but in the past exclusives have gone to Mantic Points after their time is up. So they may appear there in a year or two

the weapons are scaled to what they are, so basilean sword or abyssal dwarf. The goblins are a nice size and some of the weapons look large because theyāve stolen them off bigger races. Iād be more concerned if they shrank the weapons to fit the goblins. But itās all personal taste at the end of the day

Interestingā¦ thank you!
Well that sounds fairly annoyingly exclusive thenā¦ I donāt totally MIND getting this box, I just would rather get them separately really. But if that wonāt be an option or wonāt be an option for years later then that would be good to know NOW so I know to order or notā¦
Come on Mantic, vague stuff like this really bugs me 
They steal them!? I thought in pannithors lore they are really industrious and build all kinds of war gearā¦
But you are right, at the end of the day itās personal preference. Iām also no fan of standard āwarriorsā of goblins in vanguard having plus 1 crushing strenghtā¦ On the other hand for THEM it made sense to me that the weapons are that big
So far, iām still on the fence whether to buy the new Mantic goblins or the Shieldwolf forest goblin minitures. The price is ever so slightly cheaper and they would go well with the spider riders i use , but on the plus side, the Mantic sprues come with Mawpups. Iād be tempted to buy the army set, but 6 trolls- really? Although i do like the Mincer in that set. The Mega army set would be OK too, but i have two giants already, and again 6 trolls! Ever get the feeling they are trying to flog off a truck load of Trolls that arenāt selling well 
Iām not sure about the metal king model either. Of the three Vanguard goblin HQ set, heād be my third choice , with the natty Wiz coming first. The Wiz in the Starter kit isnāt bad either, to be fair, and thankfully only three trolls, but if you were building a big goblin army from a mix of these kits, youād soon drown in trollsā¦ a Winggit or something else in one of the three kits wouldnāt be too much to ask ā¦IMHO.

standard goblins donāt get CS1 in vanguard, luggits who are bigger goblins armed with heavier weapons do, but rabble and spitters donāt.
and in the lore āoccasionally a goblin will (unfortunately) need to engage in melee combat. In this case, they will scavenge whatever weaponry they can find and group together in large, unwieldy swarms. The resulting Rabble is chaotic but potentially deadly.ā
