The Gnoblar Horde

October 2005·pp. 88–95

THE SHORT VERSION

Kevin J. Coleman presents an independent army for Gnoblars who have escaped or rebelled against Ogre masters. Cheap Fighters support leaders, Trappers, Flingers and stranger breeds, with borrowed Ogre Kingdoms monsters and restricted Greenskin mercenaries providing heavier options. Army-wide luck rerolls offset chronic bickering and fragile morale, while stolen treasures supply unreliable magical support. The list turns overwhelming numbers, opportunism and comical risk into a complete alternative force.

Jumping Obstacles

The new ledges provide a practical way to add full movement rules to starter games. Obstacles are judged against the model’s own height, with a test determining whether it stumbles, crosses slowly or keeps moving; taller obstacles penalize the roll. The guide distinguishes jumping down, Goblins’ Cave Dweller advantage and elevated fighting, while discouraging models from climbing pillars imagined to reach the ceiling.

The Battle for Rhosgobel

Radagast intercepts Goblins and Wargs threatening a village near Mirkwood, with Gwaihir arriving first and two Eagles following by reserve rolls. Good has ten turns to complete two of three goals: keep all allies alive, slay the Goblin captains and reduce the raiders to a quarter strength. Radagast’s affinity with beasts imposes an additional courage test on charging Wargs. The scenario balances a tiny powerful defence against numerous attackers and uncertain aerial help.
