This army is designed to unleash some very nasty suprises when the enemy least expect it. There are 9 fanatics in total, there is a mangler squig which will bring terror to the flank and there is a pump wagon which will do some serious impact hits. The squig units is supposed to wreak as much havoc as they can and acts as sucide units. The downside with the army is the poor leadership values (the highest is a ld of 7). I might add another warboss and make him the General instead of a frantic giant squig riding General who won't be in range to boost the gobbos ld with the inspiring precence rule (because he is hopping with the squigs). Overall the number of core units is very nice (130 gobbos) and it will be very cool to playtest the complete army...

Please share your thoughts!

I really wanted to field a night goblin army. I was gonna put black ork heroes in the units to increase CR and no animosity. I dont like not being able to control troops. Lemme know how it goes.

9 fanatics are sick, but they might get in the way of each other ><. I have played O+Gs for a while now and with LS7 I can pretty much guarantee you will fail 50% of all leadership tests, ld5 night gobbos ftl :(. Mayb you could try a goblin warboss at leadership 8 if youre prepared to divert to Goblins and not only night goblins, or You can get an orc warboss for the 9 Ldrship which is cheaper than black orc although he has less armor and 1 less weapon skill and cant prevent anomosity when it occurs. however it doesnt matter that much when making themed armys as you aint really in it to win it xD

If your prepared to field goblins you could try Poison banner in big 50+ archer blocks, if you can get gift of the spider god off on the same unit, then its auto wound on 5 and 6 which can be devastating
