Gorbad leta you have as many Orc Boyz and Boar Boyz upgraded to Big 'Uns as you want. But can you ALSO have a single unit of Savage Orc Boyz or Savage Orc Boar Boyz?

And on a related note, if you have multiple Boyz units upgraded, can EACH take a Magic Banner?

Each can take a magical banner, as they are now big uns. Just different ones, obviously

Not sure on the first, only got the book yesterday...

i'm not quite sure what youir first question is.


are you wondering if you can take any Savage orks at all if you take Gorbad?

or if you can upgrade as many Savage Ork units into Big 'Uns too?


if Gorbads rules just mention Ork Boyz and Boar Boyz then it only applies to those units. if it just says no limit on the number of Big 'Un units in your army then i would say yes.

Gorbad's rule is that he lets additional units of Orc Boys and Boar Boys be Big 'Uns. So, yes, you take your one unit of Big 'Uns for the army as Savage(Boar) Orc Boys and then take as many units of Orc(Boar) Boys as big uns as you want using Gorbad's rule.

As RAW stands, Gorbad does not allow multiple units of Savage Orc(Boar) boys.

Thanks. Not sure where anyone got the idea I was asking about multiple SOrcs, but I appreciate the responses.
