Changes to the #6 spells

We've been discussing lately, within our local gaming community, about what could be potentially done about the Magic rules in Warhammer Fantasy. It is apparent to us, although I'm not saying this is the case for all of you out there, that there is something not quite right when the 6th spells of the "pass this test or die" kind can potentially win you the game in the first round quite easily.

I've touched upon this before, and inspired by the recent trends in the army book releases, we've narrowed down our potential ways to combat this problem to two:

The Black Gobbo army list entry

I talked earlier about the return of The Black Gobbo to harass the Games Workshop website. Well, I came across the army list entry for the Black Gobbo for use in games. This is originally from a White Dwarf article, published many years ago. Stats may be found after the jump.

Also, to continue on last night's post: The Black Gobbo has torn down even more of the Warhammer tab, on the GW site. By tomorrow, we'll be taking over!

The Black Gobbo is a despicable creature who is so untrustworthy that even other Goblins don't really trust him. Which, in true greenskin spirit, actually generates a lot of respect for the Black Gobbo from these tiny, mean-spirited Goblins! Originally a puny Night Goblin known simply as Skitgit, the Black Gobbo possessed something that most Goblins lack: ambition. It took years of effort to become a full-fledged Night Goblin Warboss. The sheer number of underhanded, sneaky, backstabbing, traitorous, greedy, and cunning deeds Skitgit undertook in his career is absolutely astounding.

Dwarfs have much reason to hate him, as Snitgit made quite the career of trapping them and then stealing their prized possessions. Once he had gathered enough Dwarf loot and fellow conspirators, Snitgit made his move and successfully dethroned Warlord Izgabit Wuzzit. From that day forward, he became the Black Gobbo, and he continues to cause trouble wherever he can!
