if your like me, when you choose your army you never discount anything, not even death rockets, ( ok discount goblins )
because we dont have cheap flyers do you think its a good idea to employ 1 or 2 hobgoblin heroes to ran about on there own? last few games ive played ive played so many flyers, and even worse skittleleaping shamans that get in the way.
my charcter’s ive chosen to lead is
wizard lord level 4 2 power stones 2 dispel scrolls
wizard level 2 2 dispel scrolls
hobgoblin hero wolf heavy armor sword of might gauntlets of gnar shield
hobgoblin hero wolf heavy armor sword of battle enchanted shield
now ive used it once and i trashed an empire player, but im not sure i should use this list. i took out my taurus i was sick of him getting killed every game.
I dont think it is cheese it is just two heros on mounts after all, but it is very effective especially against cheesy enemies.If your sorc is shadow then you can really rocket your hobbos about .:hat
I often find that if I take three or more dispel scrolls I don’t end up using them. But then, I rarely play against magic-heavy armies. As for hobgoblin hero rockets, I think it’s a fine idea. It’s too bad that we can’t take some of the O&G magic items, like the talisman that makes the hero blow up - I’m all for expendable hobgoblin slaves taking their enemies with them!

If only you could dismount during the game, it would be perfect.
Steed of Shadows only affects models on foot, thats why my Ninja hobbo is on foot with my arty and then rockets through the air into any mage or small skirmish squads that get within 20" :cheers
Hmm.��Thought I was going to read about a hobgobbo hero with a rocket pack. :o
Now there’s an idea… :idea thread piracy warning

This strange, dragon-headed device was crafted by the most skilled daemonsmiths of Zharr Naggrund and blessed by the High Sorcerer-Priest of the Cult of the Eternal Flame. Borne on the back of the wearer, it sends him forth on flames of ethereal fire.

Is that Razeph as in Benjamin Razeph, ala "Silence of the Lambs" ???
Another thought is to load up on a ton of dispel scrolls. Its not like our sorcerors have a whole lot to choose from anyways in terms of magical items.
