Anyway to business. Here's a mushroom!
That will rank up with my gobbos now, hurrah! Nearly finished painting the shaman conversion to go on the top.
Oh yeah, sample Goblin only army list - 1,000 points
Night goblin warboss - light armour, shield, sword of might, talisman of endurance - 108pts
Night goblin shaman - level 2, dispel scroll, talisman of protection - 125pts
Night goblin big boss - battle standard, shield, light armour, bad moon banner - 109pts
36 Night goblins - with boss, musician, spears, shields, netters, 3 fanatics - 248pts
30 Night goblins - with boss, musician, standard, short bows, 3 fanatics - 195pts
2 Spear chuckas - 70pts
15 Cave squigs and 8 herders - 138pts
Basically, will be relying on the cave squigs. Everything else is fodder. Standard for goblins really. Whole army is fodder. Probably overdone it with heroes in a 1000 points to be honest. I used to have a level 4 great shaman as my warboss and stand him at the back, hording all the power dice and laughing like a maniac.
Also, never underestimate the night goblins armed with shortbows. That unit has taken down a stegadon. Granted, not with shooting (seriously, you're at long range already and they suck the big one) but in combat they went insane and had stegadon steaks that night!
Subject to change, but the 'core' is there if you like. I'm actually in the process of repainting the spear chuckas which were WOEFUL to say the least. The big boss on the cave squig needs basing and my quest ot make him an EPIC base is falling a bit short at the moment. I want it bouncing over some stuff/remains of something he's just eaten/sicked up but I'm not sure what. Any suggestions? Note, 'your mum' has already been suggested but she's bizzzaayyy - HHHEEEYYYYYYYY OOOOOOOHHH.
Also, anyone thinking "that army looks a walkover..." I've got 4 stone trolls* and a giant who likes to jump up and down/stuff heroes down his trousers.
*love/hate relationship with my stone trolls. Love it when they do stuff (rarely), absolutely despise them when they constantly fail leadership tests and stand there. One very memorable battle involved them not doing anything for the entrie game, despite my warboss being in range for them to use his leadership.
"sicked up"
ReplyDeletethis term needs more frequent use.
If you aren't using your Stone Trolls on the flank of your general's unit to use his Leadership (and hopefully the BSB to re-roll a failed test) then "UR DOIN IT RONG"! Charging a unit of Night Goblins becomes a scarier prospect when there's a unit of trolls ready to eat the unit's flank in the turn after.
ReplyDeleteAlso those are some old school models. That snotling at the top was from the old Night Goblin box!
ReplyDeleteCharging a unit of night goblins is scary when your opponent says "you're 8 inches away now" and they grab the fanatic models from the side. Oh. Dear.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I've got loads of those plastic snotling dudes. So many old-plastic box sets. The gobbo flipping off, is an ancient metal model I was given by a friend who was clearing out old old and gobbo stuff.
