I should equip 2 Ork Shamans if I want them to be in a 20Boys strong regiment?

I have a serious problem with my 2 shamans because I cant find good equipment. Sure, they aint mean to be fighting chars but hell, they should be able to wound some stuff if needed or at least not dieing in the first engagement vs some weak stuff.
Usually I would have them stay back on boars and carry the disepell rolls - classic caddy style - but in my WAAAGH! Grimgork List I need them both to be in my regiments because I cant afford those 2 boars for them plus I dont want them to stay back. Well, they could stay back if nothing else is possible but I need 116 spare points yet for 2 Shamans plus 50pts equipment. 148 I´d need for 2 Shamans on Boars with 50pts equipment. Thats a ton of points in my allready tightened list.

Some help on that is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

edit: Dang! Wrong Subforum, pls move to the right subforum.

editII: I´m done with it. Who needs Shamans when you can grab gargboss´s as well.

First things first

you should have your boyz in units of 25

second, take the Idol of Mork. A great magic item for a shaman in a big unit of boyz.

First off from me is you need level 2's for the ability to throw 3 power dice each if you are taking 2 shamen.

Second the first shamen/wizard in any list should have 1-2 dispel scrolls.

Thirdly why put them on boars?

I run my gobbo shamans on foot and bury them in NG units.

Stick your shamen in regular orc units and have a champ to take any challenges.

Also a shaman in a black orc unit works a treat as no anomosity = reliable.

hmm, sounds somewhat nice for sure.

LvL. 2 Shaman is sure thing. I mean, if I have to take one, he better be able to acutally work some spells eh.

Well, forget about the Boars. Was an idea to make them mobile and give them at least a bit of security.
Some solid stuff to work with.

Idol of Mork the 50pts thingy what give me an extra power dice for each unit within 24" in close combat?

Will think about that and add that to my list.

25Boyz is better I know but hell, I need points to afford that. Guess I have them now but I´ll have a look first.
At the end of the day Gork&Mork > Dice Gods so me is winner.
