Crossroads 2009. This guy created an army entirely made up of gnoblars- all 1001! Two videos against elves and beastmen.

I'd like to re-phrase the question: Why not?

Aside from wondering what your comparison is to find Gnoblar to be weak (wouldn't the same count for Goblins then?), it might very well be the case that this person actually plays for the fun of the game itself, whether he loses, or wins. Strange concept to some, I'll admit, but they do actually exist.

It is certainly fun, I think skaven can do the same just take a warlock engineer with nothing and skaven with slings, and I suppose you come pretty close :lol:.

WOW I'm impressed! Imagine the time that went into painting that many gnobs. Playing that would be insane. I wonder if he wins more than he loses.

to be honest 1001 models in2k points was it? Personally i think he would win alot unless there is infernal gateway as gnoblars dont get magic. Although lucky gits are one of the best units in the game as they can reroll pretty much whatever they want each turn... Hit reroll wound reroll passed armour reroll, awesomes xD

I'd love to fire a Doomrocket/Vermintide/Plagueclaw Catapult into that lot - the entire army would go running.

Skaven are weak, someone built an army out of them too :P Quantity has a quality all of it's own, after all.

The sheer amount of dice thrown means that an army like that would actually do some damage, as shown by the dead giant in the first video.

Doing a similar thing with the new slaves would be hilarious too... Unit after unit of exploding slaves, armed with slings. Led by a lone, mad Warlock...

First of all :o

Good God. That man is clearly insane.


Secondly:

Why are they all blue? :huh: They're greenskins. I'm guessing noone wants to tell him, now he's painted them all... The realisation would probably kill him :P

Lightning riposte, and a point well made. Someone give this man a medal. ^_^



[EDIT] One final point - In the Beastmen video, he claims that sharp stuff is S4 - Can anyone verify that? 'cause the Ogre Kingdoms FAQ sure doesn't. :huh: [/color]

its a thrown weapon, str of wielder often 2 or 3 in a gnoblar horde. His head honcho is amazing!!!

Gnoblars do not cause panic to other gnoblars btw so all his army wouldnt go fleeing at a time just one squad :P

Gnoblars arent weak, lucky gits are amaaazing they reroll whatever they want practically and they have some awesome choices like blood gnoblars, boglars, pigback riders and manbiters.
