Complete war gaming newb here

Me and my brother dug up an old Battle for Skull Pass set a few weeks ago. We have assembled and painted everything and played a few games with what is in the box. We have decided to take the armies to 800 points for our next round of games. We got the new rule-book & the army books for each army. Here is the list I am thinking (I would like to use what I have, but am not totally tied to it.)

Heroes:
NG Big Boss (General): GW
NG Big Boss: GW, Banner
NG Shaman: Lvl 2

Core:
N. Goblins: 37 w/ banner & Musician
N. Goblins: 20 w/ bows
Spider RIders: 5
Spider RIders: 5

Special:
Trolls: 6

Rare:
Doom Diver

799/800 (I Think)

Does this look good? Remember I don't really know all that much so a bit of explanation would be appreciated.

Looks like it could use some fanatics

Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee.

Personally, considering how effective magic is in fantasy, i would look at dropping the general and shaman in favour of a NG Great Shaman.

I'm assuming when you say banner you mean battle standard. fair do's, though he really needs some armour and a ward save.

Core:
N. Goblins: 37 w/ banner & Musician
N. Goblins: 20 w/ bows


Dunwuch is right, you need some fanatics, you don't need many, 2-3 is plenty at this points level i feel. i would also try and find points to take netters on the hand weapon/shield gobbos. The bows unit needs a champion to accept challenges to protect your shaman/great shaman.

Spider RIders: 5
Spider RIders: 5


I like these, good chaff units that ignore terrain.

Special:
Trolls: 6


a good hard hitting unit. though 4 is probably enough and the saved points will help you afford the suggested tweeks.

Rare:
Doom Diver


these are brilliant IMHO.



All anyone wants in the world is to be accepted. Except me, i don't give a S%@t.

My recommendations, in order of urgency:

1. Make it 1000 points
2. Musicians on everybody that can take them (especially spiders, especially blocks with shooting)
3. Netters before fanatics
4. Upgrade NG big boss general to warboss
5. Banner of Discipline on BSB and/or defensive gear for him
6. Even out NG bus to 40 (see below)
7. Fanatics

Is the plan to stuff all the characters into the big goblin bus? I fear that means you'll have your HQ decapitated in short order, as four T4 wounds with no save are pretty easy to cause! I would probably keep the BSB + shaman + possibly the general too in the archer bunker, let the diver + trolls do all the heavy lifting. (NG bus holds things in place until the trolls arrive, plus nets them for extra shenanigans.)
