All Mtd Goblin Army, Mounted choices throughout

[Greenthing]

Hey i was thinking of putting together a cavalry force of greenskins, mostly Wolf riders and Wolf chariots with a mtd Warboss and Shaman. The Fluff is going to be crucial to make it fun to play, using a blend of bows and spears to force charges and get the enemy stretched ready for the chariots.

I'm not sure how this would work and may chuck in a 20 strong unit of gobbo's as an anchor with a shaman and maybe fanatic.

ANy input on moulding an army like this and some tactical advice and input would be gratefully accepted.

You should check out THIS thread. It will give some opinions about wolf riders.

There used to be a few people who did All Mounted wolf riders in 6th Ed when you only needed 4 wolves for a rank and you got an extra goblin character. Most people say it's not as effective anymore as you need the characters to really give the punch. You don't really get a heavy hitting unit with it. Still, you should be welcome to try.

Yeah in 6th Edition you could run three or even four big blocks of 16, each with a character in 4x4, and stuff your special choices full of 2-1 Wolf Chariots, sprinkling in a few Shaman in Chariots. When they cut the options for both the list became a bit weaker. Arfa has some good tactics articles buried for it so take a peek. Borzag plays it as well so it might be worth seeking their adviuce.

He added some "mobile" spear chukkas to his wolf riders.
