No Gitz   Goats, No Glory Hey! Yeah, you. DON’T TURN AROUND DON’T TURN AROUND.   I’ve got to whisper this, I’ve already taken a risk even talking to you.   What? I can’t hear you! I SAID I CAN’T HEAR YO--   Oh crap, they’ve seen me…. Look, just take this note, it’ll explain everything! I’ve got to go! ------- Dear Reader, If you are reading this then it is likely I have been attacked and missed repeatedly by Goblins. They might have even hit me, who knows?   If I you see me down the street with a mild injury you’ll know my fate. But I want to use some of the many years left to me to explain why…. I am a very loyal person, my heart is true ( Shuttup Farstriders! I wasn’t talking to you!) and my love of Zarbag’s Gitz runs deep . But lately I…well, I fear my head may have been turned. You see I -....   Do you mind if I drop the italics? It’s murder on my throat. Thanks. Well, as you might be aware, Beastgrave is approachin...

Crash the Boards 2 -   Boards without Risk Hello again folks, and apologies for the time between posts. Making regular time for a blog is hard . And that’s before Imperial Knights and the Ashes keep me up way past my bedtime. Anyway, welcome back to the second part of my special on Boards and suggested deployments for Zarbag’s Gitz. In part one I looked at the six boards that contained lethal hexes. Lethal Hexes have turned from inconvenience to resource since the printing of Calculated Risk some months ago; and if you’re running that card, you probably need to limit yourself to those six boards*. If you aren’t running Calculated Risk, you can cast your eyes a bit wider. Not a lot wider, mind you.   It’s something of a curiosity, but Boards appear to be as susceptible to power creep as power deck cards, objectives or fighter cards, and I suspect that even if you’re not playing Calculated Risk , there will be a number of times where you’ll select Boards with le...

Hi Everyone, Thanks for your responses to my previous article, I'm still trying to line up some games to fine tune my recommendations for Part 2 of Crash the Boards. I thought I would share what I've been doing hobby wise. Firstly, I've traded away my Eyes of Nine models to a friend for a second set of Zarbag's Gitz, because I'm a) mad, and b) a bit interested in Warcry. That's not the project I'm here to talk to you about though. I'm re-dipping my toe into 40k. Partly I blame Randall Slate from the Battle For Salvation Podcast for piquing my interest with his incessant habit of mentioning 40k every 8 episodes or so. Anyway, that's what I'm doing. Which army am I going with, you ask? Well, it should be obvious. I've set myself up as a champion of the Underdog, the little guy, the downtrodden and (most certainly) the Great Unwashed; and I'm nothing if not consistent, so there was only really one choice.... What an...

Crash the Boards (Pt 1) - Risky Boards Choosing a board in Warhammer Underworlds is like choosing a present for your significant other - if you get it right, you'll look awesome; while getting it wrong won't kill you, you might make things much harder than they need to be. Even getting it badly wrong won't be fatal, but you might wish it was. Continuing the analogy, preparation and attention to detail matters; but also, copying what others do slavishly is a REALLY bad idea. Context, as ever, is everything. That said, your choices will depend on the style of Gitz deck you're running and some of the cards you've picked. The biggest and most obvious factor here is whether or not you have won the roll off, and I've endeavoured to cover off both eventualities in this article. Also playing a major factor in your selection is whether you need access to a lethal hex for Calculated Risk and/or Martyred .  From my perspective, I would include both these objectives in m...

No post this week, I've got a nasty cold. Apropos of nothing, I must protest at the cartoon Goblin Hunter, for a) being deeply effed up, and b) being cruel to poor little goblins, and c) making 'sick goblin' image searches NSFW.

What the…? The dust has settled on the most recent, and by far most contentious, BAR update in Warhammer Underworlds’ short history. The restricted list has ballooned with eleven more cards added. Universal – Objectives Burst of Speed (Power Unbound #25) Warning Shot (Power Unbound #36) Acolyte of the Katophranes (Nightvault #291) Calculated Risk (Nightvault #302) Sorcerous Scouring (Nightvault #371) Universal – Gambits Sorcerous Flourish (Power Unbound #46) Upper Hand (Power Unbound #48) Sphere of Aqshy (Nightvault #451) Universal – Upgrades Spiritbond (Power Unbound #57) Archer’s Focus (Nightvault #476) Well of Power (Nightvault #557) I’m not going to go into a blow-by-blow account on each of the cards- plenty of smarter folk than I have already done that. I will give a Gitz specific take, on what we’ve lost, and what our foes have lost later, but for now, I just want to talk about my general reaction to the cards as a whole and where it leaves ...

“As Far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a Goblin” Greetings and welcome back to No Gitz, No Glory! I had another article written, but it was a bit off topic, and a bit rambling- Here’s the TL:DR:     Sorcerous Scouring won’t be restricted ever, and only Cursebreakers should use it . Feel free to drop me a line if you want to discuss this, but I feel pretty confident Scouring will stick around for a long time, though will only become a big deal if a warband is released with two or more fighters capable of making a spell attack. The actual article for today is a bit of a deep dive into the members of the Gitz. What each fighter is good at, what they're not, and what upgrades you should and shouldn't put on them. This article is primarily aimed at players who are just starting off with the Gitz, but more experienced players might find a few interesting bits. It's quite funny too. Zarbag What he’s good at: Being the hero the Gobli...
