Elite-Gobbos...

Circular_Logic · Post by **Circular_Logic** » Tue Feb 10, 2004 2:35 pm

While reading the typical post on the balancing thread "Goblins overpowered!!" I imagined, how they might look like.

Once upon a time, a smal, but nevertheless mad Gobbo-General was wagin war against his neighbours. With the superior training-methods he had seen in some Cabal-Vision-Movies (he sneaked into an orc-shamans tent), he soon was ready to attack his neighbours, just to find out, that they had been eaten by some hungry trolls. Looking for a fight, he sent his scouts to the next villages, were they heard about the casualties take by some gobbo-squad on a battlefield called pitch.... so the general sent out his army to finally defeat someone... or something... or.. at least his something.

1-2 Goblin Commader 6238 Leader, dodge, stunty G,A 60k
0-4 Da Marines 6238 block, dodge, stunty G,S 70k
0-2 Da Scouts 8237 dodge, stunty, leap A 70k
0-16 Linefodder 7237 dodge, stunty 50k G,A

Medic: Yes
RR: 70k

Special note:
If both Commanders are on the pitch, the team may not use team-rerolls.

4 blodgers to start with av8?

I'm sorry I see gobbo's as a joke team and this team would probably beat a rookie chaos team.

Change Block on the Marines for Nerves of Steel.
Reduce the linefodder to standard Gobs.
Change leap on the scouts for Sure Feet.

My 2p.

If there would be a change, I´d rather give them Piling on or, as a special rule, mighty blow. NoS fits the marine-style just because of the sound of the name... but it would open a very nice style of play.

I guess I mistyped.. I meant them to be like the standard-gobbo just with General-Access. I wasn´t sure if I should price them at 40k or 50k...

That would certainly increase their usefulness. But thinking in fluff-lines, shadowing would be a great thing for them,too... always observing the enemies moves... (or their fists in a close-up)

So do the normal gobbos. And everyone else. Damn, a one-legged skeleton could beat a rookie chaos team.

Gken1 is right though....AV 8 and Blodge is a little tough for a goblin....especially with Strength access.

So what about this:

1-2 Goblin Commader 6238 Leader, dodge, stunty G,A 60k
0-4 Da Marines 6238 Piling On, dodge, stunty G,S 70k
0-2 Da Scouts 8237 dodge, stunty, sure feet A 70k
0-16 Cannonfodder 6237 dodge, stunty 40k G,A
Medic: Yes
RR: 70k

Stuntys with Strength skills just seem wrong to me. Otherwise it could be fun.

If I could add a special rule, I would even say, that the Marines should be able to use (and start with) mighty blow

Now that you've mentioned the skill, Shadowing would be perfect for the Scouts.

Go with:
1-2 Goblin Commader 6238 Leader, dodge, stunty G,A 80k
0-4 Da Marines 6238 Piling On, dodge, stunty A,S 80k
0-2 Da Scouts 8237 dodge, stunty, Shadowing A 60k
0-16 Cannonfodder 6237 dodge, stunty 40k A
Medic: Yes
RR: 80k

Still.... the special about those gobbos should be their access to general-skills. That should compensate for the extremly costly rerolls and the lack of bigguys...
