Loot Goblins 2
Scenario Outline
A troupe of Loot Goblins have stolen ancient artifacts, and
two opposing forces seek to capture them in hopes of
finding their hidden stash.
The Loot Goblins will need to be taken alive to force them to
lead the way to their hideout, but neither army will want to
share the prize with the other.
Perhaps the power of the loot currently held by the
captured Goblins will swing the tide of battle, but will you
risk your prize to prevent the enemy from claiming their
own?
Layout
Before rolling for deployment zones, one loot goblin is
placed directly in the centre of the board. Players then take
turns placing down the remaining four Loot Goblins. To
place the Loot Goblins, both players roll a D6. The player
with the highest score places one loot goblin anywhere on
the battlefield at least 12” away from an existing loot goblin
and 6” away from any board edge. Loot Goblins must be
placed at ground level. The players then alternate placing
the remaining Loot Goblins according to the restrictions
noted earlier.
Starting Positions
Both players roll a D6 – the player with the highest result
chooses one of the deployment zones. They then select a
warband in their force and roll a D6.
Players then take it in turns (starting with the player who
rolled the highest) to select a warband in their force and roll
a D6.
On a 1-3, all models in that warband must be deployed in
the deployment zone and within 12” of the centre line of
the board. On a 4-6, the models can be deployed anywhere
in the deployment zone. Models may not be deployed
within 1” of an enemy model. Regardless of the dice roll,
models may not be deployed further than 6” from the
captain of their warband.
When this has been done, the opposing player chooses one
of their warbands and rolls to place it as described above.
Players alternate until all warbands have been placed.
Initial Priority
Both players roll a D6. The player with the highest score has
Priority for the first turn.
Objectives
Once one force has been Broken, the game might suddenly
end. At the end of each turn, after this condition has been
met, roll a D6. On a 1-2, the game ends – otherwise, the
battle continues for another turn.
At the end of the game, the force that has scored the most
Victory Points wins the game. If both players have the same
number of Victory Points, the game is a draw.
Scoring Victory Points
• You score 1 Victory Point for every Loot Goblin your
army controls.
• If you control more Loot Goblins than your opponent,
you score 3 Victory Point. If you control the same
number of Loot Goblins as your opponent, you instead
score 2 Victory Points.
• You score 1 Victory Point for causing one or more
wounds on the enemy leader (wounds prevented by a
successful Fate roll do not count). If you kill the enemy
leader, you instead score 2 Victory Points.
• You score 1 Victory Point if the enemy force is broken at
the end of the game. If the enemy force is broken and
your force is unbroken, you score 2 Victory Points.
Special Rules
Loot Goblins
Loot Goblins are treated as light objects, with a model
moving into base contact treated as ‘picking up’ the loot
goblin.
Each turn, before players roll for priority, all Loot Goblins
that have not currently being carried by a model will move.
Roll the provided scatter dice. All unclaimed Loot Goblins
will move 5” in the rolled direction. If a ‘Hit’ is rolled, all
unclaimed Loot Goblins will instead remain stationary. Loot
Goblins will never make a movement that requires a test
(climbing/swimming etc) but can move through difficult
terrain as normal. Loot goblins that cannot move their full
movement because of something blocking their way will
end their movement having moved as far as possible. Loot
Goblins can never enter a model’s control zone.
Despite being Light Objects rather then models, unclaimed
Loot Goblin may be targeted by magic that does not cause
harm to it. Magic can not be used to force the Loot Goblin
into an action that will cause it harm. A model with special
rules that target enemy models may use them on an
Unclaimed Loot Goblin, provided that special rule does not
cause harm to it, nor cause it to harm itself.

Looting the Loot Goblins
At any point in its movement phase, a model may opt to
charge a try and kill a Loot Goblin they are in possession of.
Players must declare they are planning to kill the goblin
when they move the model carrying the Loot Goblin. The
Loot Goblin now counts as a model and must be placed in
base contact with the model carrying it at the end of its
move. You may not use throwing weapons on the Loot
Goblin when charging them. Other models may only charge
the Loot Goblin if they are moving after the model initiating
the combat does.
Any model that is counter charged by an enemy model will
be split off from combat with the Loot Goblin using normal
rules for splitting fights. The one exception is that if it is
possible to leave the Loot Goblin with no opponent, it must
be left with no opponent, in which case it will not fight and
immediately revert to being an unclaimed Loot Goblin.
In the fight phase, complete the combat as if the Loot
Goblin were an enemy model. They use the following
profile:
Mv F S D A W C
5” 1 2 3 1 1 2
The Loot Goblin is armed with a dagger
Keywords: Goblin, Infantry
The Loot Goblin will fight back, but will not make special
strikes. If the Loot Goblin wins the fight, they will strike to
wound one model in the combat selected by the opposing
player and immediately revert to being an unclaimed Loot
Goblin. If the Loot Goblin is killed, the model that delivered
the killing strike will roll on the loot table to determine what
what they find in the Loot Goblin’s stash. If multiple models
are striking to wound, roll each model one at a time to
ensure it is clear who actually claims the Loot Goblin’s
treasure.
If the Loot Goblin was killed in the movement phase by
impact hits, the model causing the impact hits rolls on the
Loot table. If this model is a War Beast, the War Beast
Commander rolls on the table.
A Loot Goblin slain in this manner is removed from the
board. No side can claim Victory Points by controlling a
dead Loot Goblin. They do not count towards the
controlling players break point.
If a Loot Goblin is killed as the result of indirect damage
(siege weapon blast radius, killed by a hurled miniature etc)
no model may claim its loot. It is lost in the chaos.
The Loot Table
The model that makes the killing strike on a Loot Goblin
may roll on this table to determine what loot they find from
the defeated goblin. If the model has might, it may be used
on this roll to add to, or subtract from the dice roll. With the
exception of the D3 M/W/F points, models in your army
may pass the loot they receive to one another as if they
were light objects. Note that players will be provided with
special tokens to represent the different wargear granted by
the loot table.
D6 Loot
1 D3 point of Might, Will or Fate (players choice)
2 Ancient Mithril Shield
3 Pouch of Athelas
4 Bow of the Wainriders
5 Numenorean Great Sword
6 Your choice of any of the above
Ancient Mithril Shield
Within the Loot Goblin's satchel is an ancient dwarven
shield of unimaginable quality. Place a shield token next to
the miniature that claims this loot. That model receives +2
defence and will roll 1 extra dice when they shield. Note
that this shield cannot be used alongside another shield.
You don’t have to discard your existing shield, you just wont
get the +1 defence from it anymore.
Pouch of Athelas
This bag of herbs has powerful healing properties. Place a
pouch token next to the miniature that claims this loot.
Once in the game, the model bearing the Pouch of Athelas
may ignore a wound, exactly as if it has passed a fate save.
Bow of the Wainriders
A mysterious bow of the East, with an advanced design
befitting of the skirmishing nature of the Wainriders. Place a
bow token next to the miniature that claims this loot. The
Bow of the Wainriders is an elven blow. The bow of the
Wainriders may be fired even if the model makes a full
movement.
Numenorean Great Sword
An ancient sword, crafted with the expertise and quality
long lost to the men of middle earth. Place a sword token
next to the miniature that claims this loot. The Numenorean
Great Sword is a Master-Crafted Hand and a Half Sword. The
bearer of the Numenorean Great Sword receives +1 to
wound when they charge into combat.
