2500 Goblin King List, based on WGG's idea

Alright....so I redrafted my list to fit more with what WGG uses. I'm still not sure on it and particularly think more low lvl NG shamans for Sneaky Stabbin' would be great.

Orc Warlord w/ Armor o' Destiny & Sword of Might
Lvl 4 NG w/ Dispel Scroll

Goblin BSB w/ Talisman of 4+ & Enchanted Shield
Lvl 2 NG

49 Goblins w/ muso/banner and 2 Nasty Skulkers
49 Night Goblins w/ muso/banner, spears, and nets
49 Night Goblins w/ muso/banner, bows, and nets
49 Night Goblins w/ muso/banner and nets

3 x 2 Wolf Chariots
6 Trolls
30/10 Squig Herders

2 x Rock Lobba
Doom Diver
Mangler Squig

I think the list looks great. The only thing I miss is a fanatic or 2. I know one of their strenghts is that people think every goblin unit has them but have some is also good.

Are you planning on getting some games with this list?

Cheers,

I got a surprise game in last night! It was fun. Against local Empire player that seems to be my new regular opponent. Good guy. He had some really bad luck.

I pulled out my models last minute and had to change the list a bit. I only have 4 chariot put together. I had to drop some of the Goblins on two units as I didn't have them ready. I dropped a rock lobba (I don't know why). I added in 2 combat bosses (and forgot one), a Wolf Boss, and a Pump Wagon with all upgrades but the flappy things.

So, his bad luck started out early. We did diagnol deployment. He went first and I stole first turn. My Pump Wagon went a little too far and his Knights bus could charge past my trolls and hit it.....but he rolled a 4, 1, 1 for charge distance and missed by an inch or so. Horrible. Doom Diver killed a few and he fled my trolls, only to have the Pump Wagon kill them all......That flank was secure.

Oh, the look on his face when he rushed his pistoliers to release fanatics and there weren't any was awesome! I might add a couple to the archer unit and put it on the flank.

I will say that I am worried about magic defense. He had a lvl 4 of Shadow and cast a big Pit of Shades on my army. I scrolled it early and it made me think that there can be some armies with some bad spells. I really want to put the Feedback Scroll into the list. I like it and think it can be used to kill some wizards early on. Or at least wound them to the point they don't want to throw 6 dice. So, I'll see about getting that done.

I had my lvl 4 in a combat unit front and center. It was in the middle of my battle line as I wanted to boost all units around. I got into combat with 20 Hand Gunners with Mind Razor and he died. Bleh. He had the 5+ Ward Save. I think I need to give him Fencer's Blades if I am going to put him in the front. It will save his life.

I also had problems with placing my wizards. I'll need to think about it more. Maybe not right in the middle of things for the lvl 4. I also kept wanting to poison the archers, but were out of range. So, whoever gets poison should go near them.

My Wolf Boss was awesome, again. He Vanguarded up the flank and was able to charge the Hellblaster on turn 2. I overran away from a cannon and fled from a charge from Great Swords. His Pisotliers fired at the guy and only did 1 wound! His 20 Hand Gunners took the poor guy down....



I was able to get Curse of the Bad Moon into his Halberdier bunker and it was nasty! I did the big version and picked Strength as he had 2 wizards there. Here are his characters that failed: Lvl 4, lvl 2, Warrior Priest, BSB, and Arch Lector (who did get a ward save). I also took out at least half his unit! I'm getting more and more impressed with this spell.



In the big round of combat that happened, I whiffed all my attacks in every unit. It was kind of sad, really. Still, it kept the game going for another turn. I was then able to break through with almost everything. It was pretty fun.

Oh, I almost forgot! I managed to get a flank charge with my Squig Herd into his Great Swords! I got Sneaky Stabbin' off, too! I managed to kill 23 of the 20 Great Swords that were there! He didn't even get to swing.....

I will need to think about the list and see what I'm willing to build and paint before the event in Oct. I'll also play around with the list a bit.
