If I can ask a favor from anybody with access to the O&G book, how many points does the following list come to??

20 Night Goblins w/bows, Full Command
20 Orcs w/ additional hand weapons, Full Command
19 Night Goblins w/spears, shields, 3 Fanatics, Full Command
1 Lv 1 Wizard
1 Giant


Thanks,

Hyarion

668

But don't ask for specific cost as this would break copyright law as well as one of the fundamental forum rules.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it greatly.

668 points in a 500pts game doesn't make me feel real good if you know what I mean....

Drop bows on Night Gobbo

The giant is what's sinking all the points. One of those in .5k is almost never seen. With him, you can barely have anything else. Oh, and I suggest one big boss gobbo instead of the mage. Who uses magic in .5k?

I use a treeman in 500 pts games. Talk about a point sink...

Taking magic would give you an advantage if the enemy doesn't take any.

I appreciate all the advice, I am not building this list however.

I (with my 500pt list) played against this list not knowing it was over the limit. It was only after the match that one of the onlookers told me that my opponent's list looked a little too large to be 500pts. So I decided to see if I could get the actual point total for my opponent's army.

Taking his overall point total into account, I actually won the game, having accumulated 463 victory points compared to his 336.

CHEATER!
Well, I always get furious if someone tries to cheat against me. Was it anything official (GW Summer In-Store battles?) or similar, or just a game for fun?

Well normally I don't mind if people use 1-5 pts over the limit... but that there is just stupid!

Someone tried this against my Skaven warband.... they took more than 750pts against it, and we were only playing 500pts.

I played totally legit, and lost a total of 2 jezzails, & 10 clanrats so no loss of VP's at the end of the game, i held all the table quarters, got 2 standards, and destroyed all 750pts of his army.... that'll teach him.

He never did play me again, and i don't think he ever will.

You just have to teach them a proper lesson about cheating

@Deathjester - well done.

@Nagathi - It was just a spur of the moment game with one other guy who was in the store that day. I did very well overall, I had a hard time combating the giant and I would have done better if I had known what a Night Goblin Fanatic was (and how it operated) before the battle.
