So Just like the other 5k point "apocalypse" thread (should say legendary...) I am also taking part in this event. I am starting up WoC currently and decided to use all of the stuff I have for them then fill in with my Orcs (I don't use goblins... although I will if i ever get back into orcs) Im also using as you can tell 2 FW models which take up near 1300 points... You might say its dumb however I find them quite ammusing and worth it. The last time I used the giant spined in a battle. He took up two turns of my oponents shooting and magic and got my guys into battle with few casualties. The dragon I have yet to use but I somehow see him being one of the most fun Ill get out of a single model out of everything I have. I still have like 300 pts too add and will probably be hero choices. Although I have very little magic (just one cheap goblin for magic defense) However with 5k a person I do believe it will not be enough... Should I throw in 2 more cheapo gobo's with same set up? Or some exalteds?

The Warshrines are my "horde" by the way. Two of them for 1 rare choice.. maybe I should throw in one more of those into that horde and 1 more cheapo gobo? :O Thoughts?

Your fine on infantry. Like you said people will be looking at your dragon and spawn first because they are the biggest and meanest looking things. I might add one more shaman with dispel scrolls. Just because some spells can really screw your army, one example might be lore of metal on chaos warriors . The only other thing I am confused about is MoS on the warshrines. I don't exactly know what it does for a shine but giving it a 3+ ward with MoT seems pretty good too.

Yeah. Maybe another shrine and a second shaman?


O_o Typo. Should be MoT
