In the larger scales, of course.

And if you name them, how do you name them? How do Goblin names differ from Orc names?

Only my puppet goblin, Gobby :)

Back when I played WHFB, I named goblin character figures. The names weren't systematically different from orc ones.

I always followed the Tolkeinic convention, that Goblins were a smaller version of Orcs, and that the names were similar.

I'm thinking names starting with G, with bigger Goblins having more syllables in their names… grin

Nah, they typically don't survive the tabletop long enough to get names.

Goblins? What goblins?

I had goblin fanatics named Snap, Crackle & Pop…

Yup, they die far too often to give any of them names.

They are just Goblins, thus Cannon Fodder for my Orks.

Who by the way don't get names either.

Der Krieg Geist26 Jun 2020 3:15 a.m. PST

Yes, I name them when I use them in Fantasy battles. Orcs get vicious sounding names like BragSplat BrainBasher while Goblins get names the denote their mediocrity like SlitLip KneeBiter. LOL :D

No. They seldom live long enough.
