I like the list. I'm a big fan of spamming Goblins myself, because quite frankly its hard to beat, especially as special strikes allow for every moria goblin to basically have poisened blades.

Also I'd advise against using the normal Goblin town Goblin Capt model, he's so small crossing any kind of barrier or gap becomes very problematic

I would swap the cave troll for the Goblin king. He will come in handy for some stronger opponents. His special rules combined with a shaman realy is fantastic. Maybye you can swing in some wargs for the extra movement?

well the troll could be for almost another entire warband of goblin town guys, but hes merely there being cheaper than a king and to hurl stuff pinning my oponents, they will win combat mostly but can´t strike me back, so the deal of the troll its to literally picking random army trash and try to kill stuff in the process.
I could take the king but thats risking an entire warband still to make him on the field, and defence 5 even with 3+ saves

The Goblin King is also affected by Fury though, unlike the Troll, that with the blubber save and fate makes him much harder to kill.

Oh believe me. I fought him many times, he's almost unkillable combined with a Shaman. Don't forget his D5 only matters if he loses the combat.

When combining Grinnah and Goblin King: Don't hesitate to use Swap With Me with the Goblin King, the look on your opponent's face will be priceless when you take him out of a combat he was likely to lose :)

It is the standard goblin list. I'm not a big fan, being easy to play and to win with, extremely boring and with tons of model to move each turn

Oh yes you should put the Goblin with the crown of Mithril ( i don't remember his name ) to save with a 5+ without using might, then it's the same.

One mans trash us another mans gold, alot of people love playing gobbos. Although when i whip out Moria I like to mix it up with prowlers, marauders, and bats

I love moria lists with beasts like spiders, bats, marauders, maybe even a cave troll for the fluff, I even started one! What I don't like is a list with 1 kind of troop, without tactics available other than swarm. I couldn't play it or even collect it and paint it

Yeah I'm not accusing anyone :P ! However, name's Groblog. Maybe at this point limit, with two shamans, he's not that convenient, but I would still prefer him and save the might.

Galanur there ain't nuttin wrong with your list bro, no opponent would ever groan about you using it, dun wurry.

The good thing about Moria is there are so many options that are really easy to acquire via converting like Prowlers and Warg Marauders, so if you do find yourself bored with the list (like StewardOfGondor) you can easily mix it up :)

Also yeah Groblog, Durburz, and 2 moria shamans are almost essential to win win winning.
