About
Unit Description
Night Goblins raid with efficiency; they swarm and ambush, cutting their foes apart.
Historical Description
Night Goblins are well suited to their subterranean existence. They range in size, but many are on the stunted side, which better enables the spiteful creatures to move quickly through the tight cavernways below ground. Night Goblins are easily marked out from other Greenskins as they wear long, dark, hooded cloaks, in part to blend in with the poorly lit tunnels but mostly to protect themselves from the hated sunlight should they venture above ground. Given a choice, Night Goblins only leave their underground lairs at night or when the sun is shrouded by cloud or gloomspell. When they do emerge, Night Goblins launch deadly raids, ambush travellers in mountain passes, and commit countless other malicious deeds. They are particular enemies of the Dwarfs, and the two races share a long history of bitter battles on mountainous peaks and below ground.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Expendable
Witnessing friendly expendable units rout does not reduce other units'
Leadership, unless they are themselves expendable.
Poison Attacks
The
poisonous attacks of this unit weaken the target's speed and damage.
Poor Leadership
This unit suffers from poor
leadership and will easily rout. Keep its flanks secure and your
Lord or other encouraging units nearby.
Shielded
Shields have a chance of blocking arrows, bolts, rifle shots and similar small arms fire - but only in a forward facing arc.
