Spellcasting and the ability to bring Horrors into the battle create options beyond a direct advance, encouraging players to exploit unusual positioning and supporting cards rather than treating the group as conventional infantry.

Zarbag’s Gitz

A much larger warband creates new opportunities to occupy space and interfere with the enemy. Supporting goblins, dangerous squigs and a shaman offer varied threats, but making the numbers count requires suitable movement and cards rather than expecting every fighter to act independently.
