Da Warlord's Boyz (Night Goblins) are a 
Greenskins Regiment of Renown melee infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer with The King & The Warlord.
Recruitment[ | ]
Recruited with: Regiments of Renown Recruitment panel
Description[ | ]
Night Goblins are well suited to their subterranean existence. They range in size, but many are on the stunted side, which better enables the spiteful creatures to move quickly through the tight cavernways below ground. Night Goblins are easily marked out from other Greenskins as they wear long, dark, hooded cloaks, in part to blend in with the poorly lit tunnels but mostly to protect themselves from the hated sunlight should they venture above ground. Given a choice, Night Goblins only leave their underground lairs at night or when the sun is shrouded by cloud or gloomspell. When they do emerge, Night Goblins launch deadly raids, ambush travellers in mountain passes, and commit countless other malicious deeds. They are particular enemies of the Dwarfs, and the two races share a long history of bitter battles on mountainous peaks and below ground.

Strategy[ | ]
This RoR does not bring as much utility as Da Eight Peak Loonies (Night Goblins – Fanatics), but they are still useful. They have the Contact Effect Sunder Armour, which allows them to reduce the armour of all enemies they fight. This is useful, as the Greenskins outside of Black Orcs, do not have tons of armour-piercing.
