Small Update, Bigger Teeth?

Warboss and his bodyguard.

I've been working on a large unit of black orcs this last month, and while working on them I also worked on a Night Goblin Warboss on Giant Squig. I've had this model for ages, and never used it in a single game of Warhammer, but that will soon change.

Snotling buddy.

I painted him exactly the same way as the Squig Hoppers before him, but he comes with some extras, like a shield and sword, and he has armoured greaves and boots too. This Warboss is quite well off, and in the Old World, he'll be sporting light armour and a shield along with some Troll Trousers, to give him a 3+ armour save and 5+ regeneration save. If points persist, he might even be sporting a magical weapon, but otherwise he'll be used primarily to hunt down smaller units and add some punch where needed.

Powerful legs.

His random movement will make it a gamble to use him, but with that come some trade offs, primarily being that enemies wont be able to make a charge reaction to him. At 3D6 movement, he will on average move around at 11 inches, and if lucky, can be very annoying. His skirmishing ability means he'll be far less restricted than other monstrous mounts, able to move around 360 degree around.

Knightly Goblin.

His only real downside, other than the unreliable movement, is his poor leadership. At leadership 6, he wont be passing any failed break tests if he ever needs to take them. Luckily he isn't that pricey, with him at 55 points, along with 5 points for light armour and shield, and the giant squig 25 points. 85 point melee lord on a mount is quite good. Adding the Troll Trousers for a +1 armour and 5+ regen save for 40 points makes him that much more survivable.

Charge!

I can't wait to try him in The Old World, Orcs and Goblins seem to be in a good place for this edition, and am working away at my unit of Black Orcs. They will be a large unit of 24, with 20 of them already coming along very nicely. Four more Black Orc models are in the post, 3 with great weapons, and one named character which will act as the unit champion in this edition.

Zagrot will be his name!

Until next time!
