goblins
I\'m sorry I do not have the answers for you in regard to rules and such. But, as moral support I will tell you that I also do not like the Confrontation Goblins. The archers are ok. They have some character. And some of the Pirates are alright. I actually like the pirate with the musket in the wagon a good little bit. But none of them really fit my view of what a goblin is.
I find it hard to explain. These goblins seem to fit all the qualifications of what I like, they are small, toothy and mean looking. But something about them goes too far. They are vicious looking. I think of goblins as being much like people, except that they are deminutive, green, wirey, and ineffectual as individuals. Kind of like children (except the green part). So, I guess I see goblins as having a kind of human-ish quality to them. These goblins look too much like monsters.
I know I will aggrivate a good many people, but the best goblins I have found, hands down, bar none, are GW goblins. Especially the archived ones. They have loads of character. They look mean, while still looking somewhat cute. And no matter how much armor you throw on them they still look like a 5 year old playing war.

ps. That said, I have high hopes for the Celtos line of Fomorians. What I have seen of their orcs and goblins so far look very nice.
