Question about Goblin Skeeters

[Cerridwyn1st]

I’ve got a question about Goblin Skeeters. I’ve noticed that the Goblin Skeeters have the “Small” ability. To me, it appears that these guys would have a size category of 0, which means a normal-sized model with a size category of 1 would have Line of Sight over the top of the Skeeters.

 

If I’m interpreting this correctly, you could have Goblin Skeeters ranked in front of Orc Archers. The orcs can see over the goblin’s heads.

 

Why is that important? In order to Volley, each model in the group starting the Volley must have LOS on the target. In rough terrain, the smaller the width of the group trying to get LOS, the more of them will be able to see the target. With the Skeeters, you could have ten models in an area of width that would normally only accommodate five.

 

The goblin Bogul and the skeeters have Mob ability, so you could have a lot of models under the direction of a single commander.

 

Just wanted to check and see if I’d interpreted this correctly.

 

Oh, and would the same thing apply to a Centaur archer standing behind a group of Elves?

Yes.

 

It does increase the number of models that can effectively participate in the volley.

Yes. - Although the Centaurs or Elves are not small, but they do "rank" as you say.
