I wrote this list to test out the influence a wizards hat can have on an all night goblin army. I’ve always seen the limitation on using the lore of the little waaagh as a limitation to letting otherwise powerful (if unpredictable) night goblin lists shine.

+ Uncategorised +

- Army Size: Army (0-2999 points)

I played one game with it so far and drew the lore of life. My opponent was only using a warrior priest, so my two wizards were able to seriously dominate the magic phase. The life wizard used flesh to stone and earth blood to effectively nullify his shooting despite facing 2 volley guns!

Does anyone have any opinion on using this magic item which I consider fairly under appreciated?

I can’t say I’ve ever used it but due to the random nature of it, Goblins do seem like a good fit for it. I know Malorian used it in a brawler bash on his goblin general, though that was his only magic and his list was somewhat unconventional: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHFAR1H_kggUkSY_qCoYnnMXz0eYLguoj

Almost all lores are fun and add to the versatility of the army.

Indeed it does seem a nice option for Goblins. I have been thinking of playing a pure Goblin list for a while and this may be a nice option since Little Waaagh is a bit underwhelming and can be easily & cheaply taken in addition
