Enjoy the horn while it lasts, as soon as people figure out what it does, they'll save atleast 2 dice for it. Also, you're missing out on the best thing about the new codex.... the basic orc got so much better

I think warboss on wyvern is a waste of his Ld. And why Black orc? normal orcs get str5 anyway and its not like he can quell animosity when his on the wyvern. If you really want the wyvern, maybe a shaman lord with protectyness item might be an idea.

I agree with angron on the horn, it'll only work in conjunction with high level shamans as with any other bound spell items.

Nice config on the savage orc big boss, thats what I'm going with until i get bored of him =)

Is the orc shaman joining the rock lobber? I don't understand.

I think your Core Orcs are way too expensive. Elite Core aren't really the orc's strength imo, why spend 9pts/model for a biggun when you can buy 5/model orcs and get free combat res? 29 bigguns will die almost as easilly as normal orcs. You have killy characters so let them do the killing.

If you must get one elite infantry (for the magic banner) then you'll need grunts to back them up. Savage orcs are another expensive yet not-so-good choice. I'd change them to normal orcs to save points.

Too many artillary... They'll be useless after turn 3... and not enough wolf riders to block enemy cav.

good luck

I played against a highly experienced wood elf general (using 2 treemen). I lost by a lot.

I never got the horn off. My opponent used 2 of his 3 dispel dice every turn for it. Yes that meant I got my other spells off, but they were 'eadbutt and gaze of mork, which don't do a lot of damage.

So I'm dropping the horn and the shaman. I'll take a night gobbo scroll caddy instead.

Totem was awesome, I still think I need that, even though it costs so much.

Guy on the wyvern was awesome, I need that.

My big units died horribly to breaking in combat. I see that large squads are pointless now. I used to never get my orcs into combat, just let them soak up fire. Now they get into combat, I need less in each unit, and more units.

Giant lost horribly to a treeman, but that was due to good luck on the treeman's half. I still want to include the giant for balance.

So here are the changes:
