A friend of mine is coming over on Wednesday to test out the Warhammer: Battlefields Lustria campaign. He's bringing his Lizzies to defend Lustria and I'll be using OnG.

So, my question is, should I invade Lustria with Skarsnik (with tons of gobbos and squigs, including squig gobbas), Grimgor, a generic black orc lord (Warboss Grum) with night gobbos mixed in, or a generic night gobbo lord with a ton of night goblins?

I'm at work ATM, so I'll write up lists I was thinking soon...

Skarsnik. He has a penchant for turning up on foreign soil.

I really like the idea of Skarsnik, but I will make a Black Orc Warboss list as well. Grimgor is just not gunna work, I don't have sufficient Orc models.

So, I've got this so far:

(2500 pts)
Lords:
Skarsnik - 275
Night Gobbo Great Shaman - lvl4, Tali of Pres, Staff of Sorcery - 255

Heroes:
5 Night Gobbo Big Bosses - GW - 170
Night Gobbo Big Boss - BSB, Std of Disc, Light Armor, Shield - 107
Night Gobbo Shaman - Forbidden Rod - 85
Night Gobbo Shaman - Lvl2, D-Scroll - 110

Core:
3x20 Night Gobbos - Short Bows, 3 Fanatics - 405
65 Night Gobbos - Full Command, Shields & Spears, Nets, 3 Fanatics - 345

Special: (Wish I had cave squigs :cry: )
2x5 Squig Hoppers - 120
6 Trolls - 210

Rare:
2 Manglers - 130
Squig Gobba - 120
Giant - 200


That brings me to 2,499. I feel like I should have more protection on the BSB, but having ld 9 goblins without an orc just feels awesome, haha. I'm open to any suggestions!

I do like that idea as well! One Black Orc list coming right up!

Well, I chose Skarsnik with a ton of night goblins, and that was apparently a wonderful idea as I won all three games, and thus successfully invaded Lustria!

Once I have a couple minutes to sit down and reflect on what happened, I'll write up some brief synopsis of each game.
