so Night goblin wizards can take illusion magic
night goblin oddnobs get 100 points of magical gear
these combined have a very interesting combo but it is expensive

Oddnob 130
ogre blade 65
lore familiar 30

so 225 points

the combo is the illusion spell 5.Spectral Doppelganger
cast value 9
Assailment spell
does 2D6 hits using the character stats and any weapons they may have

the ogre blade
s+2 ap -2 Multiple wounds D3 Armourbane 1

so the spell would do 2D6 str 5 ap-2 Armourbane 1 D3 wound hits

Empire Wizard Lord
Mace of Helsturm
Lore Familiar
Imperial Griffon

2D6 S10 AP-5 D6 wounds

Since the wizard is going into combat, Griffon gets you there faster and is more disco with anything that is left. You could also use a Pegasus if you are trying to get him into an allied force.

Ew. I even went and double-checked, and I have to agree this is legit (for now).

I'm perfectly fine using the single attack mode in the following combat, which has been the local 'errata' for that combo.

I'm just amused that my Amber Wizard on a Griffon continues to be an unreasonable pain in the ass for such a weird stock plastic kit.

Womp-womp...

No Sauron for the Empire. We'll have to settle for just an Ogre Blade.

It was fun while it lasted. Too fun for this world, apparently.
