so that brings me to 654, i need some help on my boss choices, and bsb. i have two of the bfsp kits. and thats about it. so that what i have i could use for now. also help with magic. i am new to warhammer so any help would be great. thanks....

ok. so i picked up some more stuff.
3 rock lobbas
6 spear chukkas
2 doom divers
3 trolls
18 squigs with hearders
2 bfsp sets
2 night goblin regiments
2 goblin warboss

just looking for some list help. going to be doing around 1500... any help would rock

i thought you said you were limited on funds?

i was but this was posted about a month ago. i got all the stuff from a friend, at a gooooood price..

sweet for you

Deal of the year, well for up front

I say full war machines few blocks of 40-60 goblins 3 fanatics and netters in each as well as a goblin warbles for the leadership

When you go to 2k incorporate the squig herds and maybe get 2 more trolls for a 6 strong troll unit to bring the pain

I'll agree with Hargus on a lot of that. Squigs are up for grabs. You could or could not use them. Your call. Not so with Rock Lobbas. Pretty much: get 'em. And I wouldn't count on Trolls with a gobbo general; Stupidity is brutal.

Here's a 1000pt list I've had some fun running:

1 Night Goblin Great Shaman + War Boss Um's Best Boss 'At (180)
1 Night Goblin Big Boss + battle standard + Charmed Shield + Talisman of Endurance (92)
3X 1 Night Goblin Big Bosses + light armour + great weapon (36 each)
2X 36 Night Goblins + full command + nets + 2 fanatics (213 each)
35 Night Goblins + bows + musician + standard + 2 fanatics (167)
1 Spear Chukka + Orc Bully (50)
1 Rock Lobba + Orc Bully (75)
1 Doom Diver (80)

a few quick pointers:
-your heroes are cheap, so you can have a good number of them. Do so. A few high S attacks in each gobbo unit can really make a difference in combat.
-you want your units big, so they can get into combat and stay there. Steadfast only counts the highest ranks in any one unit, so you'll need a lot.
- spears are not so good, in my opinion. The 6+ Parry save will keep you around longer, which you'll need.
- don't worry about your own fanatics. After the first turn they will hurt you as often as they hurt your opponent (but mostly, they'll do nothing. Or die). So ignore them. Charge right through them, if you have to. Let your opponent get psyched out by them, but don't let them do it to you!

Whew. That's that. Hope it helps. Feel free to ask me anything else.
