Historically, Goblins have been viewed as one of the worst teams in Blood Bowl. Goblins justify this by pointing out that it helps to 'even the playing field.' Goblin teams are most famous among the professional Blood Bowl teams for 'dirty plays' - tricks, bribes, fouls, secret weapons - they have all of them in spades. While they are decent catchers, they are not particularly good at throwing, and tend to get smashed around a lot by the bigger teams. In Blood Bowl, Goblin teams owe most of their allure to potential and luck rather than actual skill. Though they are arguably the most intelligent of the Orkoid species, they are small, weak, and vulnerabe, and have a reputation for being both cowardly and less than trustworthy. They don't move particularly fast, they are very weak and are usually injured or killed during the game…and sometimes due to their own fault (handling a chainsaw can be dangerous).Goblins are diminutive Greenskins. They are true masters in the art of violating rules and will use illegal weapons like chainsaws or giant ball and chains, blows below the belt and fouling.Ĭheating aside, Goblins are not very efficient at anything. Goblins are agile but their real strength lays in their deviousness. While the chances of them blocking anything larger than a Halfling are remote, this never seems to bother Goblin players and the use of a particularly devious secret weapon will even allow a Goblin team to win a match.

Goblins make quite good catchers because they are small and agile, but the art of throwing is sadly lost to them. A Goblin team's game plan owes much more to hope than potential.
