MORIA BATTLE COMPANY

Moria Battle CompanyAt the time of The War of The Ring, there were a number of Goblin holds across the mountain ranges of Middle-earth. Most notable of these are the infestations that exist in the Grey and Misty Mountains. Of these, their capital (although "capital" might be too civilized a word) was in Gundabad, a forbidding mountain fastness from which countless Goblin armies marched upon the Free Peoples of Middle-earth. Years earlier, the Dwarves waged a war of revenge on Goblin-kind. They had never been able to cleanse that place, and so within a short matter of time, the Goblins had once again begun to spread their evil influence through the mountains, caverns, and rocky places. Naturally, Dwarves are their enemy of choice. Both choose to dwell beneath ground and love rocks, mountains, and deep places. However, Goblins frequently make war on other races, for they respect no one and enjoy making raids on whomever they can.

Essentially, Goblins are looters who strike out from hiding and inflict as much damage and steal as much plunder as they can. Then, with cunning and stealth, they slink off back to their lairs, earning prestige and wealth for their nefarious deeds.

A Note on Moria Goblins. Moria Battle Companies can be up to 25 models in size instead of the normal 15. However, Moria Goblins may not be promoted, so there is no promotion table for them. Instead, treat scores of 4-5 on the Warrior promotion table as "no effect." They may become Heroes as normal.
