Warhammer Fantasy Battle Reporter Forum

I thought it might be kind of fun to run a little competition having to do with my Forest Goblin Army Book project. Mostly I am looking for Lord and Hero level characters, however "Unique" units will be excepted as well (Regiments of Renown style units). I'll wait to see how much interest in this there is before I decide on a deadline for entries. I'll post further details at that time.

A link to the Forest Goblin Army Book thread is at the bottom of this post for anyone who is interested in following the project.

Here is what you need to do:

1. Create stats for a Unique Forest Goblin Lord or Hero level character.
2. This character should be between 100 and 300 points.
3. Character should include a backstory.
4. All Special Rules and/or items should be described in detail.
5. If the character rides any kind of mount, stats and all relivent rules and information for that mount should be provded as well.

Globel Ekol-205pts
M WS BS S T A W I Ld
4 5 5 4 4 3 2 6 7
Weapons-Spider Fangs
Armor-Light armor
Special Rules
Web, Spider Bites, Mark of the Arachnid

Spider Bites
Globel Ekol is covered by spiders, and is immune to their venom as he is blessed by the Spider God. However, such is the Spider God's love for Globel Ekol that he benefits from their bites in battle. They drive him into a frenzy, grant him great stregnth or the power to kill his opponents in one blow.
At the start of each combat Globel Ekol is involved with, he may choose, as a result of his Spider Bites, to gain +d3 plus one attacks, +d3 plus one Strength or Killing Blow. However, these Spider Bites slowly wear away at Globel Ekol's system. After each combat, roll a dice. If the result is a 1, then Globel Ekol takes a wound with no saves of any kind allowed.
Mark of the Arachnid
Since birth it was obvious to the Shaman's of Globel Ekol's village he was a Goblin blessed by the Spider God because a Spider shaped birthmark on his left temple. This mark has always protected Globel Ekol.
Globel Ekol benefits from a 5+ ward save.
Web
At Globel Ekol's demand, the spiders on him will come together and weave a web around his enemies. Only the most quick moving can avoid being entangled.
At the start of each close combat that Globel Ekol is involved in, any enemy model in base contact with him must take an Initiative test or be at -1 Weapon Skill for the combat as they are entangled by the strong, sticky spider webs.
Spider Fangs
When he was a Forest Goblin boy, he tracked a Monstrous Spider for days before it finally turned on him, causing him grievous wounds before he rammed his poisonous spear into it,killing it and releasing all it's children in its egg pouch. They instantly flocked to Globel Ekol as their mother, but not before removing their mother's fangs with their own razor sharp ones and giving them to him. They now serve as his swords, and are deadly to anyone who gets near him.
The Spider Fangs count as two hand weapons, and are poisoned. In addition, they ooze venom, and so any model in base to base contact with Globel Ekol takes a wound on 2+(with normal saves allowed)

Any other takers? Is anyone waiting on me to get started on the Forest Goblin army book before contributing? If so, what units are you waiting to see before starting?

Here is what I want to see:
-Some sort of foresty war machine
-Tribal clothing (loin cloths,feathers)
-Maybe some foresty monster?
-Forest Troll?
-Maybe have something like a squig for the forest goblins?


Just some ideas, you can probably use your larger brain to elaborate on them.

What little bit I've done so far is in the link at the bottom of my original post. There are two creatures I'm introducing for the Forest Goblins that might be fun. The Giant Dragonfly, and the Giant Frog.

Yeah, I'm planning to do a Forest Troll

At present I dont have any plans for a war machine, but I'll be happy to add one if I can think of something.

Well I didn’t quant understood the rules but here we go)
Master of squeegs-250p
Weapons-some cool weapon with poison)
Amour-light

Bombs, secret weapon. Golden mask of goblins.

Bombs

how about i take a shot ( made up on the spot. M4 ws 3 bs 3 st 3 t 4 w 3 i 5 a 2 ld 7 lv 4 wizard. wargear: wand of skulls, cloak of feathers. casts spells from a lore you make for your book. cloak of feathers : -1 to be hit by shooting and 'birds' can not cause physical harm to him. wand of skulls : + to wound in combat. if an enermy was killed with in 12'' in the last turn he gets +1 die in the next magic phase not acumalitive

this looks like fun. my knowledge Goblin pretty poor so some of my stuff may need to be translated.
I have a question though. can the character be a multiply slot character? i.e. require more then one slot, like 2 lord slots, a lord and a hero slot or 2 hero slots?
sorry, this is my first attempts at making a character.... I may have juiced the deformed greenskin big time....

I keep forgetting to write the bio, but I figured I should post the rest of Nomos. Like I said before, I may have juiced the Deformed Greenskin.

Nomos the Deformed 300pts/230pts(unarmed)

M: 5
WS: 7
BS: 0
S: 5
T: 5
W: 3
I: 6(10)
A: 3
LD: 7

WarGear:
Master Weapon, Stunty Stopper, Light armor, Leather Gloves(no thing more then to cover his hands.)

Special rules:
Nomos the Deformed cannot be chosen as the General, Nomos is always on foot. Nomos takes both a Lord and Hero slot.
Fear, Stubbron, Hatred (Nomos is disfigured since birth and causes fear, because of this he hates all and wont stop till his enemy is gone.), Cut losses , -Overkill(Nomos never over kills, even if more wound happen then needed they don't count.)

Gobbo Colors:
Nomos does not wear the colors or anything to do with the army he is with, He fights only when hired by an army and prefers his own colors. ether black of green depending on the time of day.

Cut Losses:
If the General of the army dies Nomos feels no duty to stay and fight, Nomos walks away from the battle no matter where or what he is doing. enemy gains no points for Nomos leaving and if he is in close combat the enemy must take a leadership test. if failed the unit suffers stupidity as they are unable to figure out why Nomos left.

Master Weapon:
Nomos favorite sword, Nomos found the sword in a Minotaurs tribute mound to the chaos god. The Master Weapon as Nomos calls is an ancient weapon forged during the time of the old ones. it is razor sharp even after siting in the mound fo ages, Nomos trains with it day and night honing his skills. Weapon: +1 to hit, -1 armor save.

Stunty Stopper:
A small sheild Nomos tripped over well training, it stuck out of the ground at the right angle that Nomos caught the lip edge with his foot. Nomos dug it out and was looking at it when an Ungor archer came into the clearing and began firing on Nomos. Nomos instinctively used the shield to block, Nomos watched as the arrows bounced off the shield until one headed strait for Nomos face. the shield grew a yellow energy circled out from the shield covering Nomos and deflecting the arrow back at the Ungor hitting it in the chest. Armor: +5 armor save, +5 ward save, once per shooting round Stunty Stopper can reflect an armor save back at the enemy, with no armor save for the enemy{Ward saves possible.}.

Light Armor:
Nomos custom light armor, crafted by dwarfs many years ago. Taken as a spoils of war, A simple armor piece alowing Nomos full range of movement but still protective. armor: +5

Unarmed:
Nomos can fight without his sword and shield, He wears leather gloves and fights with his fists. Nomos Initiative increases to 10 when he is unarmed, He also has a natural armor save of +3 which represents his speed and agility.(You may only choose one or the other option for Nomos, Unarmed or Armed.)

Jacen, very nice job! Quick question though, so Nomos has a 4+ armour save when armed? With a 5+ ward? And 3+ when unarmed? Good, but don't try to add his natural 3+ to the armed state, he would be too heavy to use his natural save.

yes, a +5 ward save from the shield. nope, the +4 is a combination of his armor and shield. when he's unarmed he only has the +3 armour save, no ward save.

Darsky and Daddy Eight Legs on their way.....

is the contest over?

No, its not over. I've just been busy with some other things recently and this had been placed on the back burner for a while. I'll try to kick start the voting this weekend, so if anyone wants to put in a last minute entry, please do so!
