Ion Age 28mm fifteen new Malig Space Goblins for the Shia Khan

The Maligs….Vermin. Savage and cruel with a taste for the sadistic and prone to acts of lunacy and utterly needless violence, the name given to their small green or mottled brown humanoids is Malig. Taken from records which make frequent mention of these creatures, second only to Legionaries, their name suits them. They are malicious and deadly. Maligs are Goblinoids and, while shorter and weaker than Humans, they are numerous in the extreme. Rather than seeming to define a formation many Legions treat a horde of Maligs as an attached source of cannon fodder. Cunning, cowardly but rather effective at killing, given superiority in numbers and opportunity, the Maligs should not be underestimated. With second rate armour and weapons and also some rather odd contraptions, the Maligs are often the bane of Planetary Militia or unfortunate Muster patrols. They are the lowest rung on the command ladder along with Betrayers.”

First new 28mm Malig Space Goblins in thirty years are here!  We have doubled the Goblins of the Khanate from the original fifteen by Kev Adams in the early 90’s to thirty poses with fifteen more by Sam Croes as three packs, as singles and as a platoon with two included free.  See the Shia Khan Empire in the massive 28mm Ion Age Range.
