New army...Gobbo's!

original thread ↗

So, having got the Ogre's to where I want them for now, my attention has been drawn to a new start, and that is with the greenskins! I have always loved the look of an all night goblin army, fun to use and plenty of laughs. Now I'm going to be using some of the other goblin units, (doom divers, chukas etc) just to make it alittle bit more versatile. The main of the army will be loads of night goblins and squigs! So here is the start...
Goblin Shaman..


And of course, some fanatics....

The fanatics aren't finished yet still getting ideas for bases. but they don't look too bad so far. :>)
There was a point in time when I decided to do exactly this; an all Night Goblin army, but it seemed to fade out after I painted the first 30 of 200 Night Goblins.

I wish you more success than I had, I think the enthusiasm just wore off as I looked at a sea of Night Gobbo's who needed painting and basing. On the plus side, now I have decided to build an O&G army, I have plenty of Night Gobbo's for it!

Yours are looking good so far, like the (not Night Goblin) shaman dude.

Incidentally, do you have a list you are working towards? I had a list that someone gave me (I think, I can't remember now TBH) I think they got it of someone else and gave it me as a guide.
I never bothered to find out if it was viable at all but it went like this;

Lords
NG Warboss w/ great weapon + AoD
NG Warboss W/ Great Weapon
NG Warboss w/ +hand weapon and Potion of Strength
NG Shaman Lvl4 with dispel scroll

Heros
Lvl 2 NG Shaman
BSB w/ bad moon banner
NG  Big Boss w/ shield
NG  Big Boss w/ great weapon
Lvl 2 Orc Shaman (? Didn't really understand this for an all NG army!)
NG Big Boss w/ Obsidian blade
 
Core
25 NG archers + 3 Fanatics SB and boss
59 NG w/ spears, nets, 2 fanatics, SB and boss
41 NG w/ spears, nest, 2 fanatics SB and boss
34 NG w/ hand weapons+ shields, 2 fanatics, SB, M, Boss
22 NG archers, 3 fanatics,SB + boss

Special
6 Trolls
7 Squig Hoppers
Squig Herd 14 NG + 6 squigs

Rare
Mangler Squig
Giant
Arachnarock
3 River trolls

I think that was it. No idea on points, I am guessing around 2000pts.

Thanks dude  :>) no list as such, but your one looks good! so might work towards that. I'm just taking my time with it as I have the ogres to game with so in no rush. As for painting them all, I'm buying as I've painted so I don't have to look at hundreds of Gobbo's awaiting paint!

 Good idea i bought a skaven army from a mate all unpainted over well over 230 models and got the point where i could not bear to see em wish i had done it same way you are doing it and maybe i would still play them. They are looking great so far mate love the shaman keep up the good work :D

Nice paintjobs! i remember my first fanatics, they are a painting disaster.... I am kinda wondering, what greenskins do you have in store for us?
Thanks  :) as for other green skins...next will be the start of the night goblins unit.
Looking great bud! Welcome to the forum! Will be awesome to see your gobbos come together
