While you’re ticking things off on that branch, choices like Da Gobbos (melee boosts for infantry in Skarsnik’s army) are well worth looking at too. Choices like Intimidating Presence (+5 leadership within aura), and Bellower (extends the size of his aura), as well as abilities like Get Back ‘Ere (popping a +16 leadership boost) are all available through the middle section. The greatest weakness for Goblin forces is poor overall leadership, so inject a little courage into the lads by aiming for leadership-boosting abilities in Skarsnik’s skill tree.

Skarsnik is a tricksie fellow, giving him Lightning Strike (preventing nearby reinforcements from joining a battle) as a trait right from the start.Īll of which steers him towards being a fully Gobbo-centric boss who can flood the field with even more numbers than usual, and (thanks to several options with Vanguard deployment) employ sneaky flanking tactics when the opportunity presents itself. Upkeep and recruitment cost for Goblin units is -40%, and Orc units can only be recruited once (if) Karak Eight Peaks is reclaimed from some traitorous gits. He also gets a free Goblin Big Boss Hero. Skarsnik starts the campaign with a unit of Squig Hoppers, some basic Night Goblin infantry (with fanatics – who, post-patch, are now manually aimed and deployed), and an Arachnarok Spider. For Greenskin armies in particular, the new additions fill some utility holes in the roster and make all-Goblin armies much more viable. The King and the Warlord is broadly centered around the battle for Karak Eight Peaks, between sneaky, Squig-loving Warlord Skarsnik, and stoic friend of ghosts Belegar Ironhammer.Īs well as that pair of new Legendary Lords (and their distinct factions the Crooked Moon Tribe and Clan Angrund), the King and the Warlord adds a regular Lord apiece, new units for both sides, and another set of souped-up Regiments of Renown. It’s time to unleash the Squigs and add another stack of grudges to the book, as both the Greenskin (goblins, especially) and Dwarf factions have been expanded in the most recent DLC for Total War: Warhammer.
