Really new player here, trying to get my feet wet with the local yokels in their league so here goes:


list 1:

LOrds:

Goblin Warboss (for ld8) w/ GW armor of destiny (or whatever the 5+ ward hvy armor is)

Heroes:

Goblin Big boss w/ GW
Goblin Big BOss w/ GW
Goblin Big Boss with Gw + BSB

Core:

27 night goblins + nets + standard bearer

Special:

7 squigs + 3 herders

spear chukka

Rare:

Mangler squig



All characters go into goblin block on first rank, hopefully use squigs to flank. Mangler pushes forward, spear chukka does shooty things.


Things that worry me about this list.... No ranged weaponry aside spear chukka. No magic, so etheral things will dominate me I worry. No defense on the BSB. Squigs may explode early due to 3 goblins only with a lucky round of shooting.




List 2:


LOrds:

Goblin Warboss (for ld8) w/ GW armor of destiny (or whatever the 5+ ward hvy armor is) ironcruse icon

heroes:

NG big boss w/ GW
NG shaman

core:

23 NG + standard spears (bosses go first rank here)
20 NG bows (shaman goes here)

special:

7 squigs 3 herders

spear chukka

rare:

mangler squig




This list has no BSB, less punch in combat, but a spellcaster but more goblins (and no nets)



I feel like in list one I could drop the BSB and add ruby ring of ruin to a big boss for some magic offense.

also should add ironcurse icon into list 1.


what would y'all run @ 500 for a NG list?

At that point like all others for goblins you need some more models on the table. Keeping your ideas around I would suggest.

Goblin Warboss
Great Weapon, Ironcurse Icon

Night GOblin Big Boss
BSB, GW, ruby ring of ruin

28x Night Goblin
Spear, Standard, Mus

28x Night Goblin
Spear, Standard, Mus

Squig Herd
7x squigs, 3x herders

Mangler Squig

The spear chukka is unreliable at best, and will most likely not have a useful target at this point level. The ruby ring will give you some magic offense at this point without taking the shaman. List also keeps your mangler and squig herds

Can't exactly fill out your list with toys at this point level though~ Enjoy the gobs

~xalfej

the only problem i have is my characters equipment is locked for rest of league so its now or never for my general/bsb?

Are you able to get additional characters? you just can't change the gear on the ones you start with?

~xalfej

i can add characters, just cant change any equipment.

they have one caveat that I COULD take a hero level goblin big boss with 50 point sof gear, then upgrade him to a warboss for points difference later in league but he must retain his same gear.


the issue is that if i bring a goblin big boss with gear it eats up all my hero points which is why i have continued to bring lord

so thoughts on a new list


goblin warboss 5+ ward heavy armor GW ironcurse icon

NG big boss with GW / BSB


23 NG with Spears/ Full command (both characters here)

20 NG with spears (thinking about using bows possibly)


5 squig hoppers

7 squigs 3 herders

Doom diver




The plan would be to use squig hoppers to protect doom diver from things like miners with 360 charge, or push forward with other squigs and blocks against gun lines, or use 1-2 blocks to protect doom diver flanks while squigs and other block advance?



still worried about bsb protection, all they have to do is attack him to kill him lol

ended up going this route, purely because I wanted to paint a bunch of squigs, including the fw boss.





lords:

NG warboss on great cave squig spear enchanted shield dragonbane gem

heroes:

goblin boss GW ironcurse (general)

NG big boss GW BSB

Core:

28 NG 1 fanatic, full command

special:

7 squigs 3 herders

5 squig hoppers

rare:

doom diver



thoughts? I don't expect to win a lot, but figured it would be an excuse to paint the stuff up, and play some goofy games.


if yall have any advice or tactics, im all ears
