Editing Army of the Goblin Lord (section)

==Overview, Composition, Strategies==
Untypically for regular Goblin tribes, the Goblin Lord's army often used black armor and forged weapons, instead of scavenged and rusty equipment. This alone made them more dangerous opponents in comparison to the usual ragtag tribes who barely clothed themselves.

The Goblin Lord himself was a powerful [[Necromancers|Necromancer]] but also relied on other [Shamans] and had them control his [[Undead]] of all races available (from Zombies and Skeletons to Ghouls and [[Draugr]]). On the say-so of [[Az’kerash]], Reiss implemented strategies where undead goblins were bracing the regular goblins so that they had a higher fighting value. The Goblin Lord himself didn't wish to waste Goblin lives, so he tried to crush the enemy with his undead fodder, and use exploding Undead and surprise strategies against unsuspecting enemies.

The army tames Shield Spiders to use in battle and serve as mounts for some of their leaders, likely thanks to the [[Ghostly Hand Tribe|Ghostly Hand]] and [[Broken Spear Tribe|Broken Spear]] Goblins it had absorbed, which were two tribes known for doing this. Notably, Reiss and Eggsnatcher both rode giant Shield Spiders, and Reiss reanimated his mount after it perished.

While the army was always mostly regular Goblins, who were often drilled into a semblance of professional soldiers, the core of it was a very large troupe of [[Hobgoblins]], although those were only seen in larger numbers the more the story progressed. This speaks towards many of them being recently up-leveled Goblins.
