Night Goblins (web)

Grade: 1c
Source: Fan made from the web (PDF)
Setting: Mordheim

Lore

Much of the Old World is infested with tribes of Orcs and Goblins. Night Goblins especially like the deep dark places and avoid the daylight wherever possible. Whilst they are quite capable of digging their own tunnels, and will do so to avoid contact with others, they prefer to occupy existing chambers. The catacombs beneath Mordheim are the perfect place to grow the strange fungi that Night Goblins use for food, and to brew poisons and intoxicants.

Secretive, cowardly, and backstabbing by nature, Night Goblins would normally stay far away from densely populated human lands. But curious rumors have reached Mount Gunbad of a green stone which can amplify the potency the fungi that Night Goblins are so feverishly addicted to. The chance of experimentation with the effects of this “wyrdstone” on fungus brew is not something that can easily be resisted by these deranged greenskins, so raiding parties have been dispatched to gather all of the stuff they can.

Special rules

Animosity: Night Goblins spend much of their lives squabbling and fighting among themselves. At the start of the Night Goblin player’s turn, roll a D6 for each Night Goblin Warrior Henchman. A roll of 1 means that the warrior has taken offense to something one of their mates has done or said. Do not roll for models that are engaged in hand-to-hand combat (they’re already scrappin’!). To find out just how offended the model is, roll another D6 and consult the following chart to see what happens:

D6	Result
1	“I ’Erd Dat!” The warrior decides that the nearest friendly Orc or Goblin Henchman has insulted his lineage or personal hygiene and must pay the price! If there is a friendly Orc or Goblin Henchman or Hired Sword within charge reach (if there are multiple targets within reach, choose the one nearest to the mad model), the offended warrior will immediately charge and fight a round of hand-to-hand combat against the source of his ire. At the end of this round of combat, the models will immediately move 1" apart and no longer count as being in close combat (unless one of them fails another Animosity test and rolls this result again). If there are no friendly Orc or Goblin Henchmen or Hired Swords within charge reach, and the warrior is armed with a missile weapon, he immediately takes a shot at the nearest friendly Orc or Goblin Henchman or Hired Sword. If none of the above applies, or if the nearest friendly model is an Orc Hero, the warrior behaves as if a 2-5 had been rolled on this chart. In any case, the warrior in question may take no other action this turn, though he may defend himself if attacked in hand-to-hand combat.
2-5	“Wud Yoo Say?” The warrior is fairly certain he heard an offensive sound from the nearest friendly Orc or Goblin, but he’s not quite sure. He spends the turn hurling insults at his mate. He may do nothing else this turn, though he may defend himself if attacked in hand-to-hand combat.
6	“I’ll Show Yer!” The warrior imagines that his mates are laughing about him behind his back and calling him silly names. To show them up he decides that he’ll be the first one to the scrap! This model must move as quickly as possible towards the nearest enemy model, charging into combat if possible. If there are no enemy models within sight, the Orc or Goblin warrior may make a normal move immediately. This move is in addition to his regular move in the Movement phase, so he may therefore move twice in a single turn if you wish. If the extra move takes the Orc or Goblin warrior within charge reach of an enemy model, the warrior must charge into close combat during his regular movement.

Hate Stunties: Night Goblins are subject to hatred towards Dwarfs. This only affects Night Goblins, not any other models in the warband. Fanatics are so out of their skull that they are not affected.

Fear Elves: Night Goblins are terrified of the Elven race. This only affects Night Goblins, not any other models in the warband. Fanatics are so out of their skull that they are not affected.

Distasteful Company: Many Hired Swords refuse to work for Night Goblins, they know that the backstabbing 'lil gits are likely to turn on them. Night Goblins may only hire Pit Fighters, Ogre Bodyguards, Warlocks, Witches, plus any Hired Sword that specifically states they work with Orcs or Goblins.

Mad Cap Masters: Night Goblins consume so much dangerous fungi they can ignore some of the permanent side effects of Mad Cap Mushrooms, provided they have a constant supply. Night Goblins affected by Mad Cap overuse may ignore the resulting stupidity, but only while under the effect of more Mad Caps. Once the model loses frenzy, due to being knocked down or stunned, it will be effected by Stupidity as normal.

Night Goblins (web) Special Skills

Night Goblins (web) Heroes may use the following Skill table instead of any of the standard Skill tables available to them.

Fungus Farmer

The industrious little git has a mushroom crop back at the cave. If the Hero doesn’t search for rare items, it may pick D3–1 Mad Cap Mushrooms instead. There is a chance of getting none, as there is no guarantee they will be ready for harvest. Each Mad Cap Mushroom must be used in the next battle, and they cannot be sold or traded to other warbands. These are a special high yield/low shelf life crop.

Hide in Shadows

The warrior has become an expert at concealing themselves from enemies (and potential victims!). An enemy warrior attempting to detect this warrior when it is Hidden must halve their Initiative (round up) before measuring the distance.

Netter

The Goblin applies techniques learned hunting wild Cave Squigs in the depths of the mountains to disable charging enemies. Instead of their normal use, the Goblin may throw a Net they are equipped with at an enemy who is charging them. This will reduce the charge range of the attacker by D6 inches as the charger either slows down to avoid the net, or gets tangled up in it. If this means that the attacker cannot reach the Goblin then it is a failed charge. Regardless of the outcome the Net is lost when this skill is used.

Ride Squig

This Goblin can ride one of the warband's Cave Squigs, or even a Great Squig! The pair deploy as a single model. Standard mount rules are not used, although the rider counts as being mounted for the Cavalry Bonus rule (see spears and lances). While the Squig is being ridden, it and the rider move as a single model using the Squig's movement rules, but attack separately in Close Combat. Any shooting or close combat attacks will hit the rider on a D6 roll of 1–2, and the Squig on a 3–6. If the Squig is stunned or taken out of action, the rider takes a Strength 2 hit with no Armour save as they crash to the ground. If the Rider is stunned or taken out of action, the Squig reverts to normal Squig behavior. In either case the rider is now dismounted for the rest of the battle. Squigs don't like being ridden. If the movement roll results in a double or triple, the rider must roll a D6 before the Squig moves. If the result is over the rider's Strength, they are thrown off before the Squig moves away, and take a Strength 2 hit with no Armour save as they crash to the ground. The rider is now dismounted for the rest of the battle. If the roll is equal to or below their Strength, the rider keeps their grip and remains atop the Squig.

Sneaky Git

The Goblin specializes in attacking their targets from the shadows. They may charge an opponent from hiding, even if they cannot see the target. There is no need for an initiative test, and the target may be over the normal 4” limit for charging unseen targets. If the charge is successful, the Goblin surprises their opponent who will attack at half Weapon Skill and half Initiative, rounded up. This penalty lasts for the first round of combat only, as the opponent will swiftly recover their wits if the initial assault is survived.

Special Equipment

Night Goblins (web) have access to the following special equipment when purchasing items from the Trading Post, outside their starting list:

Ball and Chain

Cost: 15 gc
Availability: Common (Goblins only)

This is a huge iron ball with a chain attached, used by the dreaded Night Goblin Fanatics to deal out whirling death. Enormously heavy, it can only be used when combined with Mad Cap Mushrooms.

Range: Close Combat
Strength: As user +2

Special Rules

Incredible Force: Because the Ball and Chain is so heavy, normal armour does very little to protect against it. No armour saves are allowed against wounds caused by a Ball and Chain. In addition, any hit from a Ball and Chain is very likely to take off someone's head (or at least break some ribs!). Therefore, any hit that successfully wounds will do 1D3 wounds instead of 1.

Random: The only way to wield a Ball and Chain is to swing it around in large circles, using your body as a counter-weight. Unfortunately this is not a very controllable fighting style, and as soon as he starts swinging his Ball and Chain, a warrior starts to lose control. The first turn he starts swinging the Ball and Chain, the model is moved 2D6" in a direction nominated by the controlling player. In his subsequent Movement phases, roll a D6 to determine what the model does:

D6	Result
1	The model trips and strangles himself with the chain. The model is taken out of action. When rolling for Injury after the game, a roll of 1-3 means the model is out permanently, instead of the normal 1-2.
2-5	The model moves 2D6" in a direction nominated by the controlling player.
6	The model moves 2D6" in a random direction. If the player owns a Scatter dice (available from Games Workshop stores), roll that to determine direction. If not, then roll a D6: 1 – Straight Forward, 2-3 – Right, 4-5 – Left, 6 – Straight Back.

If the Ball and Chain wielding model moves into contact with another model (friend or foe), he counts as charging into close combat, and will engage in close combat until his next Movement phase. Opponents wishing to attack a Ball and Chain wielding model suffer a To Hit penalty of -1, as they must dodge the whirling ball to get close enough to strike. The Ball and Chain wielder cannot be held in close combat and will automatically move even if he starts the Movement phase in base contact with another model. If the model moves into contact with a building, wall, or other obstruction, he is automatically taken out of action. In addition, a ball and chain wielding Goblin is much too busy trying to control the spinning weapon to worry about what others are saying about him behind his back, so ignores the special rules for Animosity.

Cumbersome: Because the Ball and Chain is so heavy, a model equipped with one may carry no other weapons or equipment. In addition, only a model under the influence of Mad Cap Mushrooms has the strength to wield a ball and chain.

Unwieldy: The great weight of the Ball and Chain can easily tear ligaments or pull a wielder's arms out of their sockets. While someone under the influence of Mad Cap Mushrooms will not notice such effects, when the drug wears off he will be in great pain. To represent this, at the end of the battle the controlling player must roll for Injury for each model that used a Ball and Chain, just as if the model had been taken out of action. If the model was actually taken out of action normally, just roll once for Injury – there is no need to make a second roll.

Boss Pole

Cost: 20 gc
Availability: Common

Some influential Goblins carry badges of office, usually taking the form of long wooden poles with an icon or sharp blade on the end. This allows the hero and any Goblin henchmen within 6" to ignore animosity. Additionally, the Boss Pole acts as a spear in close combat.

Range: Close Combat
Strength: As user

Special Rules

Strike First: A warrior with a spear strikes first, even if charged. Note that this only applies in the first turn of hand-to-hand combat.

Unwieldy: A warrior with a spear may only use a shield or a buckler in his other hand. He may not use a second weapon.^✏️

Cavalry Bonus: If using the optional rules for mounted models, a mounted warrior armed with a spear receives a +1 Strength bonus when he charges. This bonus only applies for that turn.

Ignore Animosity: Heroes and henchmen within 6" ignore Animosity.

Poison Daggers

Cost: 25 gc
Availability: Common

A pair of daggers which are coated in Death Cap mushroom juice. The coating is re-applied for free after every game. It is derived from the poisonous Death Cap mushrooms and has the same effect as Black Lotus.

Range: Close Combat
Strength: As user

Special Rules

Paired: Poisoned Daggers are traditionally used in pairs, one in each hand. A warrior armed with Poisoned Daggers gets an additional attack.

Poisoned: These blades are coated in Death Cap Mushroom juice. The daggers are re-coated for free after every game, and they have the same effect as Black Lotus. For reference: they will wound the target automatically if you roll a 6 to hit. Note that you can still roll a dice for every wound inflicted in this way. If you roll a 6, you will inflict a critical hit with that roll. If you do not roll a 6, you will cause a normal wound. Take armour saves as normal.

+1 Enemy armour save: Target gets +1 to armour save

Squig Prodder

Cost: 15 gc
Availability: Common (Goblins only)

This item is a long pole with a trio of spikes at the end. It is used by Goblin Squig herders to keep their livestock in line. Cave Squigs will recognize a Squig prodder and automatically give the bearer more respect, as they've all been on its pointy end more than once!

Special Rules

To represent this, a Goblin with a Squig prodder can keep all Cave Squigs within 12" from going wild, instead of the normal 6" (see the Minderz special rule under the Cave Squig entry). In addition, a Squig prodder is treated exactly like a spear in hand-to-hand combat.

Heroes

1 Boss

45 gold crowns to hire

Like all greenskins, Night Goblin society is ruled by the biggest and meanest of the tribe. To climb to the position of Boss a Night Goblin must be sneaky and backstabbing as well.

Profile	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld

Weapons/Armour: Boss may be equipped with weapons and armour chosen from the Hero Equipment List.

Special Rules

Leader: Any warrior within 6" of the Boss may use their Leadership value when taking Leadership tests.

Da Biggest Boss: The Boss is so big, compared to other Night Goblins that is, that they may choose Strength skills. If the Boss dies, the promoted leader will gain this rule. No other member of the warband except the current leader may ever use Strength skills.

0 – 1 Squig Herder

35 gold crowns to hire

Night Goblins are known for their ability to catch and train wild Cave Squigs. Those who devote their lives to such pursuits often bear the scars of their profession. These Squig Herders often train the most intelligent and vicious Squig of the pack to be their personal bodyguard.

Weapons/Armour: Squig Herder may be equipped with weapons and armour chosen from the Hero Equipment List.

Special Rules

Handle Animal - Squig: Any Cave Squig within 6” (12” with a Squig Prodder) of the herder can use their Leadership value when taking Leadership tests.

Master Herder: During the recovery phase, any out of control Cave Squigs or Great Squigs in the herder's control range (6”, or 12” with a Squig Prodder) will stop running amok, and may be controlled normally, if the Herder can pass a Leadership test.

0 – 3 Goonz

20 gold crowns to hire

Night Goblin Goonz are just a tad more intelligent than their peers, and aid the Boss in directing them in battle. What they lack in experience they make up for in ambition and ferocity.

Weapons/Armour: Goonz may be equipped with weapons and armour chosen from the Hero Equipment List.

0 – 1 Shaman

25 gold crowns to hire

Shamans use the power of the Waaagh to direct the might of G’rrk and M’rrk against their foes. Usually found scrounging up mysterious animal parts instead of wyrdstone, most other Goblins agree that ‘dey is odd’. Shamans are responsible for brewing the fungus brew Night Goblins are known for.

	4	2	3	3	3	1	4	1	6

Weapons/Armour: Shaman may be equipped with weapons and armour chosen from the Hero Equipment List.

Special Rules

Wizard: A Shaman begins with one spell randomly chosen from the Goblin Magic spell list.

Fungus Brew: Before a battle, the Shaman may brew a special batch of Fungus Brew using 1 to 3 Mad Cap Mushrooms, and various other fungi they have collected. The brew must be consumed immediately, and affects a single Night Goblin Warrior henchmen group until the end of the battle. Roll on the Fungus Brew Table once for each Mad Cap Mushroom used in the brewing process. If any of the dice come up with the same result, the batch is ruined and provides no effect other than a nasty headache!

D6	Result
1	Rowdy: Affected by Animosity on a 1 or 2.
2	Dizzy: -1 Initiative.
3	Fearless: Immune to fear and all alone tests.
4	Numbed: +1 Save which may not be reduced below 6+.
5	Belligerent: hatred against the opposing warband(s).
6	Loony: frenzy, followed by stupidity if it wears off by a Goblin being knocked down or stunned

Henchmen

(Bought in groups of 1-5)

Night Goblin Warriors

15 gold crowns to hire

Night Goblins make their homes in vast subterranean lairs. It is in these cavernous locales that they can grow all manner of noxious fungi, which they use to brew potent and intoxicating beverages.

Weapons/Armour: Night Goblin Warrior may be equipped with weapons and armour chosen from the Henchmen Equipment List.

Special Rules

Animosity: Night Goblins are subject to the rules for Animosity.

0 – 3 Night Goblin Fanatics

20 gold crowns to hire

Some Night Goblins are deliberately fed large quantities of Mad Cap Mushrooms to turn them into crazed killing machines. Often seen on open battlefields wielding a huge ball and chain, they sometimes adopt slightly safer weapons in the narrow streets of Mordheim.

Profile	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld
	4	3	3	3	3	1	3	1	5

Weapons/Armour: Night Goblin Fanatic may be equipped with weapons and armour chosen from the Fanatic Equipment List.

Special Rules

Addict: Fanatics are dependent on a regular supply of Mad Cap Mushrooms which must be bought each game. If a fanatic can't get any before a battle they will stay in their cave foaming at the mouth and not take part. If available they will eat their mushrooms before the battle.

Loony: Fanatics are so far gone from reality that they are not subject to the rules for Animosity. Fanatics must re-roll results of “Lad's Got Talent.”

0 – 5 Cave Squigs

15 gold crowns to hire

Night Goblins raise the deadly Cave Squigs. These creatures are a curious blend of animal and fungus, and are composed mostly of teeth, horns, and a nasty temperament.

Profile	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld
	2d6	4	0	4	3	1	4	1	5

Weapons/Armour: Big gob and brutality! Cave Squigs never use or need weapons or armour.

Special Rules

Movement: Cave Squigs do not have a set Movement characteristic but move with an ungainly bouncing stride. When moving Squigs, declare a direction of movement and roll 2D6 for the distance they move. Squigs never run and never declare charges. Instead, they are allowed to contact enemy models with their normal 2D6" movement, stopping short if they do. If this happens, they count as charging for the following round of hand-to-hand combat, just as if they had declared a charge.

Minderz: Each Cave Squig must always remain within 6" of a Goblin, who keeps the creature in line. If a Cave Squig finds itself without a Goblin within 6" at the start of its Movement phase, it will go wild. From that point on, move the Squig 2D6" in a random direction during each of its Movement phases. If its movement takes it into contact with another model (friend or foe), it will engage the model in hand-to-hand combat as normal. The Cave Squig is out of the Night Goblin player’s control until the end of the game.

Just Squigs: Night Goblins don't care much whether Squigs die because there will always be more mysteriously popping up where ever the Goblins go. Squigs only count as a half a model for Rout test purposes.

Animals: Cave Squigs are animals of a sort and so do not gain experience, or climb ladders. They can move to higher levels or over obstacles using the normal climb rules, just imagine it as a particularly high bounce.

0 – 5 Snotlings

10 gold crowns to hire

Any Night Goblin warband will attract a number of Snotlings. They perform the same function for Goblins as Goblins serve for Orcs, they provide someone smaller to slap around.

Profile	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld
	4	2	2	2	2	1	3	1	4

Weapons/Armour: Snotlings may only ever use a pointy stick or similar mundane object, which they will find for themselves at no cost. This counts as a dagger.

Special Rules

Mob: All Snotlings in a warband count as one model for warband size.

Weedy: Snotlings are not the most robust of creatures. If wounded they will be knocked down on a 1, stunned on a 2-3 and go out of action on a 4-6.

Dodgy: The little creatures are constantly ducking and diving in the most infuriating way. All hits from shooting or hand-to-hand suffer -1 to hit against Snotlings.

Insignificant: Nobody cares about the Snotlings. All Snotlings in the warband count as 1 model for rout tests purposes and warband maintenance costs. Each Snotling is worth half an experience point, rounded down at the end of the battle. Snotlings may be ignored for shooting priority purposes. Snotlings never gain experience, they usually don't last long enough, and if they do they're too stupid to learn anything of value!

Snotlings may only ever use a pointy stick or similar mundane object, which they will find for themselves at no cost. This counts as a dagger.

0 – 1 Great Squig

210 gold crowns to hire

Night Goblins are expert Cave Squigs hunters and breeders, and occasionally a Squig, fed the right mixture of wyrdstone and Snotlings, grows to such titanic proportions that it can give a troll a run for its money in a fight!

Profile	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld
	3D6	4	0	5	5	3	4	3	5

Weapons/Armour: Massive snapping jaws! Great Squigs never use or need weapons or armour.

Special Rules

Movement: A Great Squig will move just like Cave Squigs, except it rolls 3D6 for the distance.

Wild: A Great Squig will need a Goblin to keep it in line, just like a Cave Squig. In addition, due to the ferocity of these beasts, if the scatter die results in a “hit” for a wild Great Squig it moves towards the closest model (friend or foe) it can see. If this movement takes it into contact with another model it will engage it in close combat and count as charging, even with a member of the Night Goblin warband.

Cause Fear: Great Squigs are massive balls of flesh and teeth, they cause fear.

Large Target: Great Squigs are large targets as defined in the shooting rules.

Animal: Great Squigs are animals of a sort and so do not gain experience, or climb ladders. They can move up to higher levels or over obstacles using the normal climb rules, just imagine it as a particularly high bounce.

Instead of a Great Squig, a Night Goblin warband may hire a Troll exactly as listed in Da Mob Rules, but never both.

0 – 1 Troll

200 gold crowns to hire

Trolls are not intelligent enough to recognize the value of gold, but large amounts of food can often instill a certain loyalty in them.

Profile	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld
	6	3	1	5	4	3	1	3	4

Weapons/Armour: Trolls do not require weapons to fight but often carry a big club. In any event, Trolls can never be given weapons or armour.

Special Rules

Fear: Trolls are frightening monsters which cause fear.

Stupidity: A Troll is subject to the rules for stupidity.

Regeneration: Trolls have a unique physiology that allow them to regenerate wounds. Whenever an enemy successfully inflicts a wound on a Troll roll a D6, on a result of 4 or more the wound is ignored and the Troll is unhurt. Trolls may not regenerate wounds caused by fire or fire-based magic. Trolls never roll for Injury after a battle.

Dumb Monster: A Troll is far too stupid to ever learn any new skills. Trolls do not gain experience.

Always Hungry: A Troll requires an upkeep cost. This upkeep represents the copious amounts of food that must be fed to the Troll in order to keep him loyal to the warband. The warband must pay 15 gold crowns after every game in order to keep the Troll. If the warband lacks the gold to pay the upkeep, the Boss has the option of sacrificing two Goblin Warriors or Cave Squigs to the Troll in lieu of buying food (Trolls eat nearly anything). If this fee is not paid (either in gold or in warband members) the Troll gets hungry and wanders off in search of food.

Vomit Attack: Instead of his normal attacks, a Troll can regurgitate its highly corrosive digestive juices on an unfortunate hand-to-hand combat opponent. This is a single attack that automatically hits with a Strength of 5 and ignores armour saves.

Large Target: Trolls are Large Targets as defined in the shooting rules.

Trolls do not require weapons to fight but often carry a big club. In any event, Trolls can never be given weapons or armour.
