I am recently the proud father of a small goblin army.

2 Doom Divers
2 Rock Lobbas
6 Spear Chukkas
145 Night Goblins-Various mostly Spear and Shield, lots of archer some netters
18 Squigs and about the same number of herders
1 NG Boss
2 Goblin Bosses
3 NG Shaman
8 Fanatics
and 1 Orc Savage Shaman

So I am looking for some tactics. The one game I did play my warmachines did not do so well but the Fantics were the MVP. I'm wondering how to run my goblin units, is there an advantage to going with spears, nets or shields or hand weapons, maybe less then 3 fanatics. How should I run my squigs squigs in front? Herders in front? Use them to move ahead of the army to cause chaos or use them as flankers. How should I expand? Wolf riders? squig hoppers? spider riders?

Thus, After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd

There was a topic similar to this on the army list page. Hope it helps

Thanks I saw that I was hoping for more information. What are the best way to run squig herders and for what function, as flankers or to go ahead of the army to cause trouble. I have also heard that the Waaagh now affects fanatics. How do squig hoppers work? How should I expand my army maybe some wolf riders or a couple chariots?
