So I wanted to make a Night Goblin Warboss, and I want to use him as a gung-ho-kill-your-general-before-I-die-because-holy-hell-I-am-going-to-die-next-turn kind of character. I know that isn't the best, but I wanted to have some fun. You know, make heroes heroic! Well, as heroic as Night Goblins can be.

Here are some possible items for him to adorn in combat:



Wollopa's One Hit Wunda 15 points
for 1 turn user gets 10 str.

Shaga's Screamin Sword 50 points
gives +1 str and +1 attack for each enemy character in 12"

Martog's Best Basha 10 points
+1 str, ws, and initiative

Ulag's Akrit Axe 25 points
reroll missed hits, +1 str in first round of combat

Those all seem real solid, and I have quit a bit of options as I can have up to 100 points in magic items.

Other items I wanted to use were

Imbad's Iron Gnasha 30 points
Grants killing blow in cc

Collar of Zorga 5 points
steeds and monsters must roll 6s to hit

Brimstone Bauble 25 points
When unit is slain, all units (friend or foe) take D6 Str 6 hits, distributed as for shooting. If the bearer is in close combat, any wounds counts towards combat resolution.

Guzzla's Battle Brew 15 points
with a roll of a dice, character can get some cool stuff. 1-2 character becomes stupid for rest of the game, 3-4 hatred, 5-6 hatred and frenzy. Could work well with Bauble?


I reckon I only want to spend around 200 points on this guy total. Skarsnik is 206 so he would fit nicely in my army.

So with the absolute basics;

50 - Squig mount
03 - light armor

53 points


30 Gnasha
50 Screamin Sword
05 Collar

85 points

55 points NGWB


total 193


Then again, I could use:

Gnasha
Akrit Axe
Collar




What do you gits fink?

I'll fix my post, but what would you reckon out of my list I should take?

Killing Blow still sounds pretty sweet over the other ones, but bauble would be the funniest. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238646/697364.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238646/697364.page GMT Goblin Warboss Theorycrafting http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238646/697446.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238646/697446.page GMT Goblin Warboss Theorycrafting Str 5, T 5, 5 attacks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238646/699009.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238646/699009.page GMT Goblin Warboss Theorycrafting

I like da way you fink! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238646/699095.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238646/699095.page GMT Goblin Warboss Theorycrafting
O&G need leadership or they run for the hills in the modern game, there are just too many fear and terror causers now.

For my NGs it is a goblin warboss or Skarsnik, there is no other option available (for tournament play).
I would go a level 4 goblin shaman if I was playing a friendly vs empire or dwarves or HEs....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238646/701494.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238646/701494.page GMT Goblin Warboss Theorycrafting So he can leap out and be shot?
So you can never be sure how far he will move each turn?

Stick you gobbo general on a wolf (if available) for the 9 inch move.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238646/701499.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238646/701499.page GMT Goblin Warboss Theorycrafting Ld to the rest of the army.
So ward and armour save and mobility is essential.

FWIW Skarsnik is about the best character I've ever used. Even though he goes to battle with light armour the huge number of wounds he has allows you to throw him into a challenge and be fairly certain he'll come out on top.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238646/701502.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238646/701502.page GMT Goblin Warboss Theorycrafting

I wanted to make him real haphazard tbh.

I mean I understand how important leadership is with a Goblin-centric army, but I just wanted to make it different. I don't care too much about winning this thing, I just want to see if I can kill something quick and die and have a good laugh about it. I can sit him on a wolf, sure.


And yes I agree, Skarsnik is a total bad ass.

I will take that as a compliment!

Thanks for your input, I will definitely take what you've said into consideration when I play a normal game.
