2500 Chosens Tournament!, Special characters allowed :(

[mickkk666]

Hi ladz! Long time I don't post a list! I've played a league at a GW store and I have classified to play the Chosen's Tournament! Is a 2500 tournament in which the best players of Madrid meet to play. The only thing I don't, is that is allowed to bring special characters . So, I'm planning to bring a all-goblin army! Tell me what you think!

Goblin Warboss, Wizarding Hat, Light Armour, Shield
Night Goblin Shaman, Lvl2, Dispel Scroll
Night Goblin Shaman, Lvl2, Ruby Ring of Ruin
Goblin Big Boss, BSB, Standard of Discipline, Light Armour, Shield
Goblin Big Boss, Gigantic Spider, Light Armour, Shield, Dragonhelm, Sword of Might, Potion of Foolhardiness, Luckstone

30 Night Goblins, Nets, std&Mus
25 Goblins, shields, std&mus, 3 Nasty Skulkers
21 Night Goblins (bows), mus, 2 Fanatics
20 Night Goblins (bows), mus, 2 Fanatics (bunker for BSB and Warboss)
2 x 5 Wolf Riders, spears, shields

8 Trolls
12 Squigs 8 Herders
25 Squigs 13 Herders
2 Spear Chukkas

Doom Diver
Arachnarok Spider
Giant!

Yes, a giant xD! I think he can do a lot for the list. Being Ld10 and stubborn, he can completely on his own. Also, against shooting armies, he will attract lot of fire power.

Do you think your goblin/night goblin units are large enough? based on local playstyle they might be. In my area they would lose steadfast in a single round, two at most.

I am a big fan of the Wizard hat so I hope you post a brief results after your tournament.

only other comment would be on the level 2 NG shaman. for only 15 extra pts a model, instead of taking the 2nd level, you could get a second lvl 1 shaman. This is incredible because it spreads the points out more around your army, allows another channel attempt, allows you to take additional sneaky stabbing, which I think is one of the more powerful spells in the little wagh for its casting value. It also allows you to eat a bad shroom/miscast and taking a wound on one of the NG, and not worry about doing it again. Also if you fail to meet the casting value on a spell and you lose focus, doesn't matter, you don't have another spell to cast anyway, with a lvl 2 you then could not cast your other spell.

As you have three lvl 2's currently I would drop a level from one of the NG and steal some pts from elsewhere and get another level 1.

I am also a great fan of the scroll of shielding, yes I know there are many spells which do not allow saves of any kind but I 'always' use the scroll.

I am also questioning your inclusion of the ruby ring as you already have 3 level 2's you should have some spells to cast which do more than the ring, but if you like it, to each his own.

Best of Luck!

Thanks for the reply! I'm used to include units of 40 NGs when I'm playing mixed orcs and goblins. Maybe for the 30 NG unit I include a bit more, but the other units have different purposes. One of them will be the bunker, so there's no matter of size. The 21 NG, will be on a flank, probably supporting squigs or arack/giant. Maybe is a bit small right, but who wants to shoot at it when there's lot of squigs or an aracknarok on the table? . We can apply the same to the common goblins.

Yeah, is not a bad idea to reduce one of them to lvl1 and use those points elsewhere. A champion for the common gobbo unit and other nice object for the shamans. I'm a big fan of scroll of shielding too . The ruby ring can be on the lvl1. I wanna use it against regen troops/monsters or diverters. Taking another shaman can be good too. I'll think about it.
