Next event I am going back to my old school passion which has always been Orcs and Goblins. Though this time, it will just be the goblins which I've never tried before.
I'm essentially looking at just shoving as many threats forward and hoping for the best, between all the giants, fanatics, manglers and wagons there's a bunch of scary units hurtling towards their lines.
My thought is making it as fun BUT as viable as possible. Goblins seem one of the armies that can get away with using a wizarding hat and the potential for some nice lores I think is worth it.
Main concerns are around the warboss, trying to keep him alive in the big night goblin unit if they get attacked. Fencers blades & glittering scales enough to keep him around?
