Hello all,

I've started working on a O&G army but i came across some chaos dwarf forum, and it seemed allot more fun to create my own chaos dwarf army, allot more modelling needed then just simple orcs. And i can actualy use the orcs and goblins i have right now for Chaos Dwarfs!

Please let me know what you think, by the way i know some places dont allow chaos dwarves but i just play casualy i basicly just like to paint and model, and it would be allot of modeling needed for this army, so ill be bussy with it for a long time ^^

By the way, i havent decided what lores to use yet on my Sorcerers, I can choose from: Fire, Metal, Shadow, Death i havent got the newest rulebook yet and im wonderering what would be the best for this sort of army. I'm thinking fire on the level 2 and Metal on the level 4, since from what i renember they are both pretty good at shooting stuff, would this be a good idea?

drop the orcs 60 points for 2 Hobgoblin bolt throwers is just to good of a deal. with the extra points you can fit in another Earthshaker and some hobgoblins on wolfs.

Yeah the earth shaker and 2 more bolt throwers would sure put in allot more fire power, but i've read its no fun for an oponent to face 2 earth shakers, but when i'll definatly make 2 and ill always have that option then. for now i think ill try with the orcs unless some more people think i should throw away the orcs ^^

i say drop the earth shaker. it can become a nuisance for your own troops if it scatters wrong, or shakes a little to much. i play against them tall hatted guys all the time, and the earth shaker is an annoyance to an opponent at best. add in some bull centaurs with great weapons and shields instead, they will help a ton in combat.

Looking at the list I don't understand why you took the banner of slavery when you are only packing 40 Hob Goblins, 2 of which are in support roles with their bows. You have a solid base of CD's and bugger all Hob Gobs. Sure the banner might be useful for some warmachine crew but then you're not moving forward to engage the enemy are you and in most cases you won't be sitting within 12" of the warmachines to make the re-rolled psychology tests on the greenskins worthwhile. Remember the CD's ignore all panicking/fleeing orcs and goblins of all kinds so this item seems redundant.

20 Hobgoblins 80
Spears, Shields

Your Hobgoblins CANNOT Have Spears. Read the entry again mate.

Drop the 16 Orc Boyz. This gains 126 pts, Get 2 more Bolt Throwers, takes you to 62pts left to spend. The 50 pts from the banner of Slavery gives you 112pts to play with. Now I'd either get a 2nd earthshaker, or drop a warrior (9 pts to 121pts) to get a unit of 5 Bull centaurs with champ and heavy armour = 120pts.

As to abusing the lists potential, you have too few Hob Gobs. they are 2 pts each naked in units of 10+ so for 20 pts you get very sweet detachments to organise flank charges, fodder sheilds against shooting and protection against rear and flank charges et al, consider ramping in some more naked Hob Gobs.

Thanks for feedback!
