Before you people start flaming, keep in mind he's foreign and probably used a translator.

To answer your question NUMEREUR, he doesn't know.  It could be a while.

A long time untill it's finished dude, he's doing models, and he's the only member so it's gonna take a while.
He will not be the only one, for sure. It's just that some of potential members are occupied with some more urgent-to-be-released stuff :wink:
 
This mod is kickass fun.  We need more players though!  :mad:

[quote author=lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Goblins]
Goblins were a small breed of Orc that lived deep under the Misty Mountains since the War of Wrath in the First Age. The name "Goblin" is used in The Hobbit to replace usage of the word "Orc," except for when describing larger Goblins, due to the fact that "Goblin" is a slang term for all Orcs. When their lord Morgoth was taken in chains to Valinor, the Goblins and other foul creatures were forced to flee from Angband. Their actual kingdom is located near the High Pass and, by the time the One Ring had made it to Rivendell, the Goblins had spread throughout the Misty Mountains, including the former Dwarf-city of Moria. They are similar to orcs in appearance, but are slightly smaller, sometimes hunched over or appearing to walk and run with limps. Their blood is black in color, as with all orc breeds. They are seen as "snaga" or slaves by larger orcs breeds.
EDIT:Removed the CONTENTS part of Wikipedia.

Goblins are able to see in total darkness, enabling them to make their homes in deep underground tunnels. They can also crawl and climb with ease with the help of their segmented spiked armour, another vital skill for any creature dwelling in the cave networks. It also appears that goblins are very capable of rearing and training animals as beasts of war and burden. In The Hobbit, Goblins follow Thorin's company on wolves (or Wargs, this can be disputed) to the Battle of Five Armies, where they show their deadly effectiveness with the beasts. Goblins have also been known to do the same to large spiders, which make much better cave fighters and can have deadly venom sacks. Like all Orcs, Goblins are entirely evil, and will soon begin fighting amongst themselves unless held in check by a strong leader. In the Lord of the Rings Battle for middle earth II the goblins have the ability to scale walls, as well as build tunnels wich can allow them to move their troops around great distances. In the Fellowship of the Ring they attack the Fellowship as well as use a cave troll as soon as thirteen were killed the rest fled. Ther Chieftian also was slain by Aragron. The Chieftian had stabbed frodo with a spear. They would try to get revenge later by attacking the Fellowship on Amon Hen with the help of orcs from Mordor in service of Sauron and Uruk-Hai of Isengard in the service of Saruman the White now Saruman of many Colorus.
edit Weapons and armor

Goblin weapons are varied and often described as scavenged and of poor quality, yet still deadly. Their arsenal includes scimitars, arrows and shields, as well as weapons they have stolen from other races, although they will not touch many Elf weapons due to the power in them. Their own armor is made in a crude fashion and is often described as rusty, but strong enough to protect the wearer or bearer from the unceasing skirmishes amongst the different Goblin clans and the occasional meetings with other races. It is believed that their armour and weapons were modeled after the physical appearance of the Balrog, Durin's Bane in Moria, whom they worship as a demon-god.

That's where BfME got Spider Riders' idea.

That is wrong. Goblin is simply another name for orc - they aren't a smaller breed or anything.
 
Mountain orcs were the larger ones or at least tougher ones from the passing mention I remember from the books, it's been so long I could be wrong.
 
Here´s a WIP render,just to show how the average look will be :smile:
