The Botley Goblin is Off on Holiday!

Just a heads up that our Botley shop will be closed this week as the Head Goblin is taking a well-earned holiday.

Don’t worry though, the goblin machine is still running! Our Shirley shop will be open as normal, thanks to some trusty backup goblins holding the fort.

Thanks for understanding, and we’ll be back in Botley soon, hopefully slightly more sunburnt and only mildly feral.

Botley: Closed this week
Shirley: Open as normal

Thanks,
The Goblins Nook crew

We need YOU!

If you’ve enjoyed visiting The Goblins Nook: Shirley, picked up something cool, joined us for a game, or just like what we’re building, leaving us a Google review would genuinely help a lot.

Reviews make it easier for new people to find us, help the shop grow, and let others know what to expect when they wander into our little goblin cave.

It only takes a minute, but it makes a big difference.

Thank you, you lovely lot. Now go forth and review!

The Cogfort conversions coming out of the Warhammer community already look absolutely awesome!!

This kit feels like it was made for hobbyists to go wild with, and people are already adding extra cannons, armour, smokestacks, banners, and loads of cool little details.

I'm already thinking how I can goblinfy it...

Definitely worth checking out if you love conversion projects and massive centrepiece models 👇

See what talented hobbyists did with the colossal walking fortress.

The goblins have been monitoring deep space and something is happening over Citrix.

Out of the Cradle Worlds and into the Fire is a Dropfleet Commander event running at Goblin's Nook Shirley on 6th June, 10:00 to 18:00. Three 999pt skirmish games, four factions, one very smug Bioficer AI watching everyone fight over its old mining sites.
£8 a head. Loan fleets available if you're new to the game. No prizes, just three good games and some light interstellar territorial dispute.

To grab a spot, comment on the event page and wait for confirmation from the TO. Payment details in the event info.

The cluster isn't going to contest itself.
