Night Goblins As Warhammer Troops
Night Goblins are a cowardly lot, and are thus prone to running off in blind panic if things don't go their way. Night Goblins have a poor Leadership rating, poor Weapon Skill and average Strength and Toughness. They are best deployed in large regiments, or even better, in Hordes where superior numbers will make up for their mediocre characteristics. Night Goblin Regiments can be bolstered by Netters, who may throw their nets on the enemy, weakening him (or possibly hitting the Night Goblins themselves) and by Fanatics. Night Goblin Heroes and Lords are amongst the cheapest in the Warhammer Game, and they may ride on Great Cave Squigs. Regiments of Night Goblins are typically equipped with shield and hand weapons, and can exchange their hand weapons with spears if desired. They may have short bows in place of shield and hand weapon. Night Goblins have a few magic items unique to their kind, like a magical banner that makes all of their attacks poisonous.

Famous quotes containing the words night, goblins and/or troops:
“A barnacle goose
Far up in the stretches of night; night splits and the dawn breaks loose;
I, through the terrible novelty of light, stalk on, stalk on;
Those great sea-horses bare their teeth and laugh at the dawn.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“Morning and evening
Maids heard the goblins cry:
Come buy our orchard fruits,
Come buy, come buy:”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (18301894)
“I have lived long enough: my way of life
Is fallen into the sere, the yellow leaf;
And that which should accompany old age,
As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends,
I must not look to have.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
