Warhammer Goblins v. Goblins again

 We enjoyed our last Gob Off, so decided to do it again.

I've been on holiday for a week since we played, so this is mainly pictures as I can't remember much detail.

My horde lumbers forward

The Spiders attempt a clever swerve around the icon.

The giant hid from the bolt throwers behind a house

Steve had plenty of wolf chariots this time

And a walloping great spider

The big spider went after the ickle spiders

Wisely they swerved it.

The stone trolls smacked into some Night Gobbos

The spiders began running away.

The river trolls stumbled into the squig herd.

Eventually the giant was sent to squish the big spider

Unfortunately he had a big club instead of a rolled-up newspaper.

Fanatics were flying in all directions.

The spiders rallied and tried to deal with the gobbos that had seen off the trolls.

More trolls smashed into my archers.

And extra Night Goblins attacked my venerable regular goblins.

The spider squish continued.

Haha! I caught some goblins in the flank.

But they got away.

Finally the chariots arrived.

Oh dear, my horde caught in the rear!

And the front.

This was the death knell of my force and despite doing more damage to Steve's army than last time I was ultimately vanquished.

Playing with goblins is plenty of fun.

Hurrah for Warhammer!

Still more Oathmark Skeletons

Six more done as archers, plus a metal leader/hero

 

Warhammer Goblins v Goblins

Steve and I got together for another game of Warhammer 8th edition. This time we decided on a Gob Off - 2,000 points of goblins versus goblins. Steve has a very large Night Goblin collection and indeed once took an all Night Goblin force to a GT. I struggled a bit to get to 2K points, but judicious use of Trolls got me the numbers in the end.

I have a new camera and thought I'd use that for the pictures. Poor choice - it very much struggled with the lighting at The Hucknall Palais des Jeux.

The armies line up. Plenty of Night Goblin spears on both sides

That's an Idol of Gork in the middle that we were notionally fighting over. I think we forgot about the special rules.

Steve's little arrer fellas have red point hats.

Animosity struck my side early and resulted in an ill-advised charge into some trolls.

With inevitable results.

The spiders tried shooting the Manglers.

My ladz drove the squig herds onward.

They took a chariot to the face. Then ate it.

Suddenly there were Fanatics *everywhere*

Steve's giant circled the wood and chased down some vintage Goblin spearmen.

Hardcore Troll on Troll action began.

The giant turned to face the Blue Trolls.

Meanwhile my giant bounced off the enemy trolls, ran away and then fell over. Missing everything.

Soon after this the gig was up for me and Steve and Skarsnik ruled the field.

Good fun game to play - Goblins are rubbish, but that's half the fun.

We're considering an entire Goblin only campaign now...
