Hobgoblin is a brutally fast tabletop miniatures wargame of fantasy mass battles from Mike Hutchinson, the designer of the award-winning Gaslands, and featuring original artwork from graphic artists CROM (Raiders, Bird King).
Hobgoblin lets you play out sweeping tabletop battles with your armies of fantasy miniatures in under two hours (instead of four). You are free to collect and use whatever fantasy army you can imagine, and Hobgoblin will allow you to build the rules around it. Flexible army-building rules allow you to field any of your existing miniatures or provide an excuse to buy new armies from any miniature manufacturer.
Hobgoblin is a fantasy mass battle game with an old-school flavour and very modern rules. It will appeal to both longtime players of fantasy army wargames looking for a fresh take on the genre and gameplay, and new players who are curious and excited at the prospect of pushing enormous armies together and watching them brutally destroy each other.
WELCOME TO Hobgoblin
Mike Hutchinson, the creator of Gaslands, is back with a bloodthirsty miniatures game that allows you to build and battle with any fantasy army you can imagine.
Miniatures Agnostic
In Hobgoblin, there are no pre-set factions to choose from. The army list system is a universal toolkit for building your own army to fit your imagination, and your miniature collection.
Brutal and Quick
Armies start close together. Combat is simple and brutal. There aren’t any rules that simply negate other rules.

Inside the brutal fantasy world of hobgoblin
The world of Hobgoblin is an endless maze of interwoven tunnels, caverns and catacombs forever growing downwards beneath the dead, frozen surface of the world. Vast subterranean fantasy kingdoms are thrown into chaos when the Cursed Artefacts are discovered: each granting the bearer the power to manifest vast magical armies, at the cost of draining their life-force and allowing the long-dead creator of the artefact to slowly possess them. The bearers of these cursed items of power become known as The Haunted.
More Cursed Artefacts are discovered, and this new power tears the underworld apart. Bloody campaigns of unstoppable conquest are waged by The Haunted.
Play out campaigns in which you take the Haunted, the bearer of a powerful cursed artefact used for conquest, mayhem, or power by summoning massive armies as you are slowly corrupted by your bargain with ancient powers.
