Hobgoblin Wolf Raiders (Bows) are a Chaos Dwarfs missile cavalry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs.
Recruitment[]
Unlocked with: Hobgoblin Bivouacs
Description[]
Drawn from the nomadic tribes and isolated warbands that roam the fringes of the Dark Lands, wolf-mounted Hobgoblins are commonly employed by Chaos Dwarf armies as swift-moving scouts and light battle cavalry. Raiders and robbers by disposition, they get lured into service as mercenaries, but are effectively treated no better than unpaid servants by their new Lords. They are, if anything, more skittish and even less reliable than their unmounted counterparts, but this tendency is deemed to be outweighed somewhat by their usefulness in the raiding expeditions that travel into unfamiliar and hostile lands, where their mobility can often provide a stark advantage.
Attributes[]
Missile Cavalry
- ▲ Very Fast: This unit can run circles around most other units, taunting and harrassing the enemy or evading its missile fire.
- ▲ Vanguard Deployment: This unit can deploy in an expanded deployment area, allowing it to start the battle within striking distance of the enemy - or somewhere unexpected.
- ▼ Weak Against Armour: This unit's attack can hardly punch through armour and is thus wasted on heavily armoured enemies.
