Soo I want to start Night Goblin army after my WoC... I want it to be fun... I wont win often I know that but I think it would be funny to go in with lots of magic, fanatics... and squig hoppers Any thoughts on how to make it even more random and less likely to win ?!?!

Roleplay a goblin general. Loudly blame your "stupid git troops" for your own tactical mistakes and when you lose build yourself into a rage where you destroy a few of your own models.

bigger NG squads - those 20 mans squads will panic the first time they get shot

Key words Spash.....LESS LIKELY TO WIN
Ya 20 NGs/unit wont last very long lol

3 words, snotling pump wagon,
also DOOM DIVERS

Alrighty then... Ill work up another list. Make the units bigger and take out the giant (its just going to get shot down anyhow... It NEVER gets into combat with my Orcs army... does suck up alot of fire though... thats fur sure)

I never looked at the Pump wagon rules really and Ive had.... an ok experiance at most with the doom driver... Will think about it more... Haha... 3 pts a model rocks!

Should I take out the Black Orcs for the sake of making it more fun and likely to win? They just cost alot...

Yeah, the Black Orks seem like they wouldn't really fit in with a bunch of weedy gobos. I like the giant though. That "jumps up and down" attack sounds like a lot of fun and the likelihood of him falling over onto your own troops is such a dreadful tease. The doom divers and pump wagon are a must for characterific goblin army lists that doesn't stand a chance, and they might even surprise your opponent.

Put a pointy cap on the giant so he fits in.

HAHA! I never thought of that... I guess this is turning into a list for the most creative Night Goblin Suicide army eh? I LIKE IT! So yeah... I never thought of the giant falling on my own guys... ID LOVE IT! And I didnt realize you could take 2 wagons for only 80 points and 1 rare choice! Must add that... And I guess I will take out the Black Orcs... "Ummm boss... is you shur da boss tol us ta come wif the gits?"

OH! and thats a must do Orkeosaurus... I have 2 giants already... But I kinda just nurglefied one for the fun of modeling boredom and the other one is like a black orc giant and has like... alot of armor and wot not... Ugh my list for what I need to buy is getting pricy :(

Alright wills heres an update "TIME TO DIE!... well TIME FOR US TO DIE" army list... I took out the spider riders as Id rather have a random "HAHA LOOK AT THAT! the fanatic just annihilated my giant..." list then a boring spider rider annoying list... so I added in 2 pump wagons and.. haha... 30 squigs.. was thinking about 8 spear chukkas but wheres the fun in that? oh and I made all the units 30 goblins!

From what I hear, 3 Fanatics in every unit is a sure way to tic off your opponent. Of course, being a Night Goblin horde, that seems quite the point!

Have fun losing your whole army to one Screaming Skull or Terror-causing unit.

yeah but how much LAWL would that be... It would make my day... I mean cmon... The point of this army is to lose (oddly enough) is the most bizaar and tasteless ways... DOWN WITH WINNING! (they dont realize each one of my Night goblins actually has a 40k bomb squig under their cloaks... wooops

maybe take a spider rider warboss, just cause that limited adition model is so kick arse

I salute you for your honorable ambition of aiming so low that no matter how poorly you shoot you'll hit something funny.

I like the idea of a complete Night goblin army. Just imagine those little ankle biters having a go at say, Ogres. Looks like fun to play. 12 Fanatics jumping out and saying hi to everyone then ramming straight back into their own guys.
