Ok my LGS is about to host a escalation league which starts at 500 Pts and I wanted to throw this list up to see what others thought.

LV 2 Night Goblin wizard w/ 10pt magic item 95pts

2x20 Night Goblins w/ bows, boss, musician, standard, betters and 2 fanatics ea
185pts ea

Goblin Spear Chukka 35pts

Total 500pts on the dot

Any thoughts, ideas suggestions??

i am currently playing in a league of 500 points, I have taken Tomb Kings, and i have found a level 2 to be a liability - normally miscasting by the end of the game.
Of your 2 spells only one will be worth casting, so to beat the dispel dice they have, you will need to roll 4+ dice. Thus making the general a problem to itself.

I have been playing Orc and Goblins for many years as well. I have found the fact you could have fanatics, a better threat than actually having them.

So drop 2 fanatics from one unit, and take a 'combat' war / big boss - making them your general
Also if you want a shaman take a level 1 with the fire ring, getting fire in an OG army can be useful.
The spear chukka is a good investment at these points limits

any points left over add goblins, but keep the units the same size

If you have the models trolls can also be fun.

You need some combat punch and something to thin enemy numbers.

i vote for this:

L2 night gobbo shaman- scroll- 110

20 NG- FC, Netters, 1 Fanatic- 160

3 Wolf Chariots- 150

Doom Diver- 80

500 on the nose
