Although I have 80+ zombie to paint, 8 demigryphs, 10 Bowmen and about 16 foot character to paint...
I have decided to build a Goblin army! Wahoo!
Here is a list of the army I'd like to aim for... It's obviously going to be a long way off, but I have already begun gathering models for it...
Night Goblin Great Shaman [180pts]: Wizard Level 4, Ironcurse Icon
Night Goblin Warboss [146pts]: Great Weapon, Armour of Destiny, Crown of Command
Night Goblin Warboss [162pts]: Great Weapon, Light Armour, Shield, Great Cave Squig, Dragon Helm, Talisman of Endurance, The Other Trickster's Shard
Skarsnik, Warlord of the Eight Peaks [275pts]
Night Goblin Big Boss [159pts]: BSB Light Armour, Shield, Spider Banner, Talisman of Protection
Night Goblin Shaman [75pts]: Wizard Level 1, Dispel Scroll
2 x 20 Night Goblins [155pts]: Musician, 3x Fanatics, Standard Bearer, Short Bows
60 Night Goblins [330pts]: FC, Netters, 3x Fanatics
2 x 1 Doom Diver Catapult [80pts]
2 x 1 Goblin Rock Lobber [85pts]
2 x 1 Mangler Squig [65pts]
2 x 5 Night Goblin Squig Hoppers [60pts]
8 Trolls [280pts]
++ Total: [2,497pts] ++
I'll also have around 2 pump wagons and a Rogue Idol to add/swap about some bits...

I like it.
It's very thematic and Skarsnik is one of my favourite characters.

Spider banner in the 60 unit night goblins i take it? I dont think the bsb can take it with the tailsman though. Other than that fun list! It will be chaotic but fun.

Well I think the Bad Moon banner would be more appropriate, and if with the spider banner I think the 60 Gobbos would have bows.
I forgot that they can't have an item and an unlimited banner cost...
Plenty of time to play about though!
I have a distint memory of a Goblin riding a Cockatrice from 4th/5th ed. I'm gonna convert one to be used in friendly games (aren't all games???), using Storm of Magic points!

Actually, I think tileag is correct. You'd probably want that BSB to be in the unit if 60 Goblins and arm them with bows. Allow the smaller blocks of Night Goblins to screen for them and act as Fanatic delivery units. And tileag is also correct in that your BSB can't have a magic items and a magic banner.
Also, Goblin Wizards work better as Lv3's and Lv4's while Night Goblin Wizards are better as Lv1's and Lv2's. The Night Goblin mushrooms are more beneficial at lower levels and you really don't want to risk the backlash on your Lv4 caster, if you don't have to.

Lovely to see a list like this My thoughts: No Squig Herd?! I love Squig Herds, they can be absolutely lethal The Squig Hoppers should be combined into one unit perhaps led by the Warboss to make their random movement more reliable I would bunker Skarsnik and the BSB in one big unit of archers containing the Spider Banner. Boost the unit's poison attacks with Gift of the Spider God and lob magic missiles with Skarsnik. Skarsnik is not the best in combat, he is squishy, so only use in a pinch

Agreed with Horace squig herd can be lethal and its thematic for this list

So it's been a while - lockdown has given me some impetus to get some work on these guys! Also I moved house just before lockdown, so I had to deal with all that too! But here's 105 Gobbos for my core: And here's a Rogue Idol, in case I ever need one! Next up infantry Characters and Giants

They look great, what model is that for the idol?
About the list, I think it is a bit to heavy on characters. I always went the way of more bodies. If you want to keep the 20 man units I would add one extra goblin, this way the opponent has to cause 6 casualties instead of 5 before you have to take a panic test( and with goblins you want to take as less leadership tests as possible).
Cheers, WGG

Thanks for the tip!
My characters are primed ready for painting on the weekend, too hehe.
The rogue idol is a toy from ebay - was £10 i think. Popped it on a base - greenstuffed gaps, glued the arms into place - and added sand/mushrooms to the various bits, hehe.
