The Black Gobbo

Hiring cost 210,000 gp. Plays for: Badlands Brawl or Underworld Challenge.

Special rule: Sneakiest of the Lot

With him on your team you may declare two Foul Actions per turn, but one of them must be his own.

On the pitch

The Black Gobbo is a goblin with every dirty trick on one card. Bombardier gives him a bomb once a turn, Stab an unmodifiable armour roll against an adjacent player, and Sneaky Git means a double on a foul only sends him off if the armour breaks. Dodge, Sidestep and Stunty keep him awkward to pin down. His special rule lets the team foul twice a turn, as long as one of the fouls is his.

At 210k he is dear for a ST 2 model, a hire for coaches whose plan is attrition. Goblin and Snotling teams, which foul anyway, double their output and keep a bomb in hand; Underworld Denizens, Orc and Black Orc sides get the second foul for their line players. He carries no Secret Weapon, and Loner (3+) is the kinder version. The problem is AV 8+ on 210k of goblin.
