Pigback Riders areGnoblars riding atop another GnoblarIn a piggyback tashton. PlgbackRiders consist of fWO Gnoblarsmounted on a single 20-mm base buthave a single profile that takes totoaccount both Gnoblars. For allpurposes, each Pigback Rider basecounts as a single man-Sized creature(e.g., Killing Blow will work on them)with a Unit Strength of 2. The onlyexceptions [0this rule are thatPigback Riders get a +1armor savebonus in the same way as othercavalry models and that PlgbackRiders may use their spears in thesame manner as both cavalry andinfantry. Thus, on the turn a unit ofPigback Riders charges, the modelsreceive a +1 Strength bonus fromtheir spears. In addit ion, PigbackRiders can fight in two ranks unlessthey have moved that rurn.just likeinfantry models armed with spears,

Bogla rsAlso known as Marsh-Gnoblars orSwamp Goblins, Boglars are abreed of Gnoblars that live inmarshes, bogs, and swamps.Boglars look like any otherGnoblar, though their skin is agreenish-grey and their eyes acebeady yellow. Boglars spend muchof their rime catching frogs, fish,and other amphibious or repti liancritters that live around theBoglars' mucky lairs. The Marsh-Gnoblars dissect these poorcreatures with broken sticks andeat them alive.Boglars are extremely sensit ive tosunlight and brlghr l ight in general ,and emerge from their swampylaid only at dusk. Although Boglarsnormally seem to affiliate only withother Bogiars, Gnoblars, andGoblins, a large tribe of Boglars inthe Marshes of Madness have beenrumored to have allied withstrange, cyclopean, swamp-dwelling creatures.Years ago, there was much debateand speculation among scholarsabout the mythical Toad-Gnoblars,legendary creatures that were saidto multiply in number at the meretouch of a drop of water. Suchbizarre theories have, of course,never been proven, nor has a Toad-Gnoblar ever been seen (or at leastcorrectly identified). However,scholars have tdentifled severalbreeds of Gnoblars with abllltiesalmost as wondrous and mythicalas those of the legendaryTO:ld-Gnoblar.

love good entertainment,~'I't:U.i'Ulywhen it involves watching",~ollllel:hil1lget maimed, horriblyor killed, As a result,Gnoblars take part in many obscurea n d dangerous sports. Among themostpopular of these is pig jousting.~\ 'o Gnoblars with large spears rideatop the backs of pigs. When thegl lme starts, the Gnoblars charge ateach other and attempt to unseattheiropponent. Of course, the wholeeventturns chaotto as the frightenedpigsbegin to squeal and rampageabo Iin different dlrecnons.When a Gnobla r community goes tow a r , many of [he more fanaticalGnobJarswill attempt to pig joust withth e enemy. Real pigs will not suffice in

squeezing the open wounds.Although this process is very painfulfor the victim, hearing the captive wail.and scream Is just extra fun for theGnoblars. Once the barrel is full andthe prisoner js drained of blood, theGnoblars will take turns pouring itover their heads. After a few hours,the blood drles, and the commonGnoblar masquerades as a Blood-Gnoblar and boasts about h0W muchbetter he is.

High up in the peaks ofthe Mountains ofMourn dwell thepeculiar sect knownas the Blood-Gnoblars.
