Be patient! Not everybody is trolling the O&G army lists, hoping for someone to give advice to! I will give you a few of my thoughts, but I'll start off by saying I have no experience playing with an all goblin army, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

The first thing I noticed is that you are over your limit for points on the first shaman, (you have 55 points of magic stuff). Speaking of points, you are also under-counting your shamans by thirty points each. You might want to consider giving your warboss a wolf so he can make sure he gets the best use out of his pipes of doom and so he can help out the wolf riders, but this does take your all important leadership away from your army so it's up to you. Other than that your heroes look pretty good.

Your core looks pretty good, lots and lots of fanatics should always be interesting. I can only assume that you have ten wolf riders in your unit due to the point cost. If this is the case I would recommend that you split the unit into two mobs of five. This gives you greater tactical flexibility and you are less likely to miss out on that flank charge due to a single silly animosity roll.

Your special looks "rock" solid, (tee hee, get it? "rock"? as in "rock" lobba? funny? not even a little? fine then...)

For your rare I would like to steer you away from the trolls. I think that the only time you should take these boys is when you have a black orc warboss to make sure that stupidity doesn't completely ruin your day. I would recommend that you swap them for two pump wagons and use the leftover points to pay for your shamans and the extra cost of another musician on the split wolf rider unit.

Hope this helps!

Thanks bud, i have lots of time at work and i check the forums lots

Concerning the shamans you are right, i didnt add them right, i was actually thinking about putting one on a chariot and free a special slot for a unit of Squig herders with 9 squigs.

I will definetly spli the wolf riders into 2 squads of 5, more mobility that way.

I only own one pump wagon, but i still think the trolls are a good buy, they are Tough, and i need some xtra muscle for when my fanatic wall runs out of steam.

also made a couple of changes to the list after i posted, thinking about giving the Horn of ungork to one of the shamans, plan is this : fanatics go in, hopefully cause a panic test, then use the horn and then the pipes of doom, all those leadership rolls hopefully will hopefully cause some units to run away i will try to save them for when im closer to his edge of the table, with some good rolls i can prob make some units run off the board

Not placing my warboss on a wolf cause without him the whole army goes to crap, i need that ld of 8 !

One strat that i was also concidering is this.. 2 heroes on wolves, one with the horn, nother one with the pipes...and go wreck havok on his army > but they would be dead after that, and i would loose 2 character slots, no room for mages since i would need my warboss and bstd bearer.
