WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL,
i've been thinking about starting and O&G army for awhile an i just want to get a feel for the list. im not a big fan of the gogo but i have seen them put to good use. not for me tho.
id like to run a more orc exclusive list. i got the book the other day and just kinda skimmed it. it has raised some questions, and i have come up with some units taht i think might work.
for lords and heros:
black orc bosses just seem worth it. they fix the potential poor animosity roll, for a price....
i like the way the warboss ironclaw's WAAAGH! cleava sounds but im not sure if it's worth it. for all of my magic item points on a warboss (100) its a auto wound no armour save weapon. sounds compelling, it it worth it? with heavy armour and a shield he's at 254pts. poor saves for a leader tho... great for killin stuff tho. not so great in a challenge i might think....
now. i then see martog's besta basha. fifteen points for +1
WS, +1 S and +1 I. uhm, that looks very nice. only two magic armours, spiteful shield looks okay for 25 pts. i also like bigged's kickin' boots for 30pts +1 attack. besta basha and boots on a black orc
BSB with h. armour doesnt sound too bad....
of course then there are the shamans. sure a scroll caddy and then maybe one with the idol of mork just to keep the dice high, assuming things go well-ish...
core:
i likes me the orc boys. they be fancy methinks.
30 boys with shields and standard and a musician for 195pts. five ranks of six. sounds good to me. a few of those and im set.
arrers i guess just for shooting, but how many in a unit? i dunno... 14? 12? 10? 452? (no, that's too big)
special:
i looked at the savage boys in core and thought hmm... then i look in special and think HMMMM. put them on some boars and big 'un wif some spears and they might do alright i think, i could be wrong... 5+ armour with 6+ ward? i dunno... maybe. put them back in core? you tell me....
black orcs are shiney... i wanna make an army based around these bad boys. 24 with sheilds, musician and a standard for 354pts. skip a boss, they dont roll for animosity.
rare:
trolls, stone trolls, best choice? i think so but what do i know, i just got the book! four of those for 240pts? pricey buy killy.
not too into the giant. there's too much involved for them.
well, someone help me please. cuz i dunno what to do!
