Goblins in BOFA Can't Post

I'm under the impression that we won't see the goblins of goblin-town in BOFA

=> They are very pale and seem to not get out from their caves often as they do not seem to try to follow the company out of the caves even at night

=> They do not wear armor nor have weapons, I only saw a bowman but the other ones appeared to fight with their claws, in comparisons goblins of FOTR had armor and weapons

My conclusion is that during BOFA the goblin army will be comprised of the Gundabad orcs and not Goblintown army.

What do you think ?

I think you're right [In reply to] Can't Post

These don't appear to be sufficiently militarized enough to be there. But I would like to see some Moria Orcs alongside the Gundabad ones.

I hope you're wrong [In reply to] Can't Post

I'd rather see the force at the Battle of Five Armies be a mix -- Goblin-town warriors as the foot soldiers, Gundabad orcs as the commanders. It would provide more continuity between the movies, rather than Goblin-town being an isolated incident with no further connection to the story.

Yes, they didn't have much by way of armor or weapons but they were on their home turf and didn't need it. I would imagine that if they're marching off to war, they'd suit up with whatever they've managed to steal over the years. The book says the army came from all over the mountains so it would be cool to see Goblin-town, Gundabad, and Moria represented.

The Goblin/Orc army will likely comprise of every single Orc along the Misty Mountains [In reply to] Can't Post

They won't just come from one location.

Armored Goblins [In reply to] Can't Post

It would be good to see the Goblins from Goblin Town all armored up for the BOFA.
