I'm aware that most people in this forum are now very hyped about TOW, but I still have a question about the good old 8th edition stuff...

Kevin, the rules for the Black Gobbo say:

"Concealed (see page 44 of Warhammer: Orcs & Goblins)"

However, the rules there are rules for Nasty Skulkers, which are an upgrade for the standard Goblin unit. That means that for Nasty Skulkers, it is very clear in which unit they are allowed to hide: the Goblin unit they belonged to from the start of the game; the Goblin unit that got these particular Nasty Skulkers as an upgrade.

However, the Black Gobbo isn't attached to a certain unit in the same way, which obviously means he can choose a unit. His rules don't contain any restricions, however... so can he hide inside ANY unit (Orcs, Trolls...)... or only Goblins?

Second question... you gave him "Hatred (Dwarfs)", which implies he is a Night Goblin (and he always was a Night Goblin, traditionally). But his Troop Type says: "Special Character, Goblin". Is this intended?

------------Revision: The Black Gobbo is deployed and revealed in the exact same way as a Nasty Skulker - see the Concealed special rules for details (page 44 of Warhammer: Orcs & Goblins). However, the Black Gobbo may be concealed in any unit of Goblins, Night Goblins or Forest Goblins. If the Black Gobbo is mounted, he does not follow the rules for Concealed and is deployed as normal.

Designer's note: Although the Black Gobbo has the Hatred (Dwarfs) special rule, his rival is the White Dwarf after all, I wrote him as a common Goblin - a Nasty Skulker special character, if you will.
