For those of you familiar with my previous antics Octoskull, i have decided that it was time for more.

Last night our FLGS had a 100 pt night. I wanted to run Kobolds, but our store owner had announced that his kobold horde was ready, so i decided to let him corner the market. But i wanted to politely josh him for taking my band from me. So, i decided that Snig's commander effect is best, when he has lots of small followers. And how best to get him lots of small followers *and* josh the Kobold army!? You guessed it, the Snig Kobold Zombie Horde(tm): Snig the Axe, Goblin Skirmisher x3, Kobold Zombie x20.

1st Matchup (loss) - Village Priest, Arcanix Guard x3, Slayer of Domiel, Timber Wolf ... (if i recall)
Map (his): Dragon Shrine
What can i say, i swarmed forward, keeping Snig surrounded and safe from the Slayer. I started getting Tile points in round 2, but was a round behind him because of his wolf. After 6 or 7 rounds, he had killed Snig (not using double points), the Sniglettes, and 10 of my zombies, winning on points. I must note that he had only one Arcanix left, and his Slayer had about 15hp left (she passed morale *after* i killed his commander, which was my best chance at a win). I also rolled 6 20s for attacks in this game.

2nd Matchup (loss) - Tiefling Captain, Orc Champion, Ogre Ravager
Map (his): (fixed) Broken Demongate
What can i say, he had Cleave. I did however manage to route his Champ, but my defensive line worked perfectly ... in forcing his champ to route the long way and getting to rally right next to his commander and my zombies that might have killed it otherwise. His ogre also wasted 4 or 5 crits (3 or 4 of which were 19s).

3rd Mathup (loss) - Village Priest, Medium Silver Dragon, Sacred Watcher, Warforged Scout
Map (his): Field of Ruin
Well, again, what can i say? He had a breath weapon. I was able to minimize it. Only 4 or the 6 hit by it died. Snig went early to an end of the round hit by the Watcher followed by a first of the round crit by the Watcher. That ened my chances of muscling my way through this one via crits for 15 (i pretty much needed crits to hit everybody).

So, story time has come to an end today. I wish the tale was more heroic and told of noble and daring wins. But come on, it's a goblin, with kobold zombies ...

It was not an easy match!

Go back to Octoskull Jai.

Wow. That had to be fun. You start revealing your warband...and I imagine the replies were to the effect of: "Shut up, man. Where's your real band?" -- "This is it. Right here. I'm really playing this."

Stuff like that has to be worth the looks on the opponent's face...

Back in the day it was fun to roll with Lareth the Beautiful, Tiefling Captain and Cultists of the Dragon summoning mucho Abyssal Maws.

Good times.

With enough rolls you will be hitting the triple-lindy with the maws. A couple times.

Oh man, that is too much...

I would have loved to have seen your opponents' faces when you revealed.

I would want to try a similar warband in 200p, with Whitespawn Hordeling's, something like:

Snig the Axe, 20p and Sniglets.
Hobgoblin Talon of Tiamat, 37p
Whitespawn Hordeling x15, 135p
+Filler.

I'd think you will kill -something- with 30 cones, even if they are only 5 damage. After that you will still attack at +5/+5 (10).

Spawn Swarm:

Hobgoblin Talon of Tiamat
Snig the Axe
Whitespawn Hordeling x 12
Dark Moon Monk x 2

Minions:
Goblin Skirmisher x 3

It's a crazy band, but it's possible maybe to swarm something and breath weapon it. The Dark Moon monks give you some Magic Weapons, and Snig gets you to 8 activations.

Or:

Hobgoblin Talon of Tiamat
Snig the Axe
Whitespawn Hordeling x 9
Chraal
Bladebearer Hobgoblin
Dekanter Goblin

Which is a little stronger. The Hordelings let the Chraal aim wherever it pleases. This band has 9 activations. Stronger, but losing the theme.

I've found that my KINDLING SWARM (Twig Blight x 8) is less effective against Quad Belchers than I anticipated. Still, I love the smell of crackling Blights in the autumn, don't you?

SGB

So do the two extra Kobold Zs also only count as one activation?

So do the two extra Kobold Zs also only count as one activation?

Points:
Snig = 20
KZombies = 4 x 20 = 80

Activations:
1.Snig
2.-ette
3.-ette
4.-ette
5.Horde (all kobold zombies activate on the same activation)

Snig the Axe, 20p and Sniglets.
Hobgoblin Talon of Tiamat, 37p
Whitespawn Hordeling x15, 135p
+Filler.

we had someone play QuadSkull and did abysmally with it.. tho it was fun.

I hate to be a stickler.. but I dont think Mob 3 lets you use only 2 models. I think you need all 3 of them.. if Im wrong, someone please point me to the right place

Mob 3 just means can have up to, not have to.

How come you didn't throw in a Kobold Sorc for the Conceal 6? That woulda frustrated the hell outta those big hitters once in a while. :) (might be type not name... nm)
