Howlsquad Heavy + Krenko, Mob Boss + Skirk Prospector
Overview
Howlsquad Heavy gives your other Goblins haste, so Goblin tokens created by Krenko, Mob Boss can attack the turn they’re created . Howlsquad also creates a 1/1 Goblin token at the beginning of combat on your turn that “attacks this combat if able,” which creates a requirement that that token must be declared as an attacker if it is able to do so . Krenko’s activated ability taps to create X 1/1 Goblin tokens where X is the number of Goblins you control when the ability resolves (it counts each Goblin you control, including Krenko itself) [Ruling 2012-07-01]. Skirk Prospector can sacrifice any Goblin you control (including itself if you choose) to add

[Ruling 2022-12-08].Step 1
At the beginning of combat on your turn Howlsquad Heavy’s triggered ability creates a 1/1 red Goblin creature token; that triggered ability’s effect says that token “attacks this combat if able,” which is a requirement checked when attackers are declared .
Step 2
Howlsquad Heavy’s static ability “Other Goblins you control have haste” applies continuously while Heavy remains on the battlefield, so Goblins that enter the battlefield after that static ability is active have haste and can be declared as attackers the same turn under the rule that attackers must either have haste or have been controlled since the turn began .
Step 3
Tap Krenko, Mob Boss to activate its 
ability; when that ability resolves it will create X 1/1 red Goblin creature tokens where X is the number of Goblins you control at resolution (this counting includes Krenko itself if it is still on the battlefield) [Ruling 2012-07-01].

Any tokens created by Krenko while Howlsquad’s haste effect is active will have haste (because they are 'other Goblins' and Howlsquad’s static ability applies), allowing them to attack that same turn under .
Step 5
You may sacrifice Goblins (including tokens just created, and including Skirk Prospector itself if you choose) to Skirk Prospector to add as many times as you have Goblins to sacrifice; if you plan to use Skirk more than once sacrifice Skirk last because sacrificing it prevents further activations of its own ability [Ruling 2022-12-08].
as many times as you have Goblins to sacrifice; if you plan to use Skirk more than once sacrifice Skirk last because sacrificing it prevents further activations of its own ability [Ruling 2022-12-08].Step 6
Be careful with timing: if you sacrifice Goblins before Krenko’s ability resolves, the sacrificed Goblins won’t be counted for X at resolution because X is determined by the number of Goblins you control when the ability resolves [Ruling 2012-07-01].
Resolution
Practical result: With Howlsquad Heavy, Krenko, and Skirk Prospector all under your control you can (a) use Krenko’s ability to create X 1/1 Goblins where X equals the Goblins you control at resolution (including Krenko) [Ruling 2012-07-01], (b) those tokens can attack immediately because Howlsquad gives your other Goblins haste , and (c) you may sacrifice any of those Goblins to Skirk Prospector for , including sacrificing Skirk itself (but do so last if you still want to use Skirk) [Ruling 2022-12-08]. Also note Howlsquad’s beginning-of-combat triggered token must attack this combat if it is able .
