Hobgoblin Wolf Raiders (Spears)

A pointy stick and a slavering wolf are all a Hobgoblin really needs to rise through the ranks – if the beast doesn’t kill him first!

Drawn from the nomadic tribes and isolated warbands that roam the fringes of the Dark Lands, wolf-mounted Hobgoblins are commonly employed by Chaos Dwarf armies as swift-moving scouts and light battle cavalry. Raiders and robbers by disposition, they get lured into service as mercenaries, but are effectively treated no better than unpaid servants by their new Lords. They are, if anything, more skittish and even less reliable than their unmounted counterparts, but this tendency is deemed to be outweighed somewhat by their usefulness in the raiding expeditions that travel into unfamiliar and hostile lands, where their mobility can often provide a stark advantage.

Abilities

  • Cowardly Despoilers
    Stick a Hobgoblin on a wolf and point them at the enemy, having first pointed out that if they retreat, *you'll* kill them, and they can be most effective when massed for a charge.
    Base Weapon Damage x 125%
  • Malign Authority
    "Best not step out of line. Heard a Labourer ask for more gruel the other day, and they put him in the pot!"

Attributes

  • Vanguard Deployment
    This unit can deploy outside the deployment zone.
  • Hide (forest)
    This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.

Strengths & Weaknesses

  • Very Fast
    This unit can run circles around most other units, taunting and harassing the enemy or evading its missile fire.
  • Weak Against Armour
    This unit's attack can hardly punch through armour and is thus wasted on heavily armoured enemies.
  • Vanguard Deployment
    This unit can deploy in an expanded deployment area, allowing it to start the battle within striking distance of the enemy - or somewhere unexpected.
