I am reading Grudgebearer by Gav Thorpe and have started hating the Orcs now, for ravaging the beloved Dwarf Kingdoms. They are just heartless, brute savage monsters with evil in their hearts. How was this attractive to you enought ot make you pic Orcs? I am not trying to start an arguement here. I am just curious as to wether it was just the models in general that people like, or is it deep down on the inside you really want to play an evil army. Or what? I am not a huge fan or the Orc army but I do appreciate the vast number of different models and I like them more than like 2 or 3 other armies. But I hate what they stand for and after they killed King Throndin I think I vowed never to collect and fantasy Orc army. Good over Evil.




P.S I'll prolly start collecting them anyways. But I'll hate them while I love them!

Wut'z dat? Yer looking fer a fight, stunty!? Harhar, get 'ere and iz gonna kill yer till yer dead!

No but really though I just think they're awesome. I love their "culture" and I love how they think! I also love to field and watch Horde armies... sooo yeah.

agree with Muppas statement. Also:

"Uz Orcs, aintz so bad, We juz like da stunty meat!"

Their curves... I love a orc with curves


But really I played due to my love for nightgoblins

Gobbos, Gobbos and more Gobbos of the night variety. I love my night gobbs and everything they stand for. They are fun to play and the fluff is awesome too. Watching my shamans self destruct and see my lil' guys RUN.But also watch my fanatics and manglers go to town on the other armies is well, poetry in motion.

What's better than regular gobbos? Gobbos riding squigs wearing black robes and completely high on drugs. Night Goblins are f***ing mental!

I like giant spiders, gigantic spiders and megagigantic spiders...
Also their tribal nature and ability to kill while yelling a silly shout are awesome.

I was given a large box of them.

...what?

More of a night goblin fan myself, its the only part of orcs an goblins i've actually been able to enjoy.

Orcs are okay per say for savage brutes that go around fighting being 80% brainless.

Now the funny stuff is with the goblins poppin' madcaps my favourite unit (all though I don't play them now) by far being fanatics <3 <3 <3


gah now I want to go make an army of night goblins -_-'

My friend used to play NG and would scream SHROOMS at the top of his lungs everytime he rolled a bad mushroom... Made for some funny tournament games I must say

I might just pick up the orcs and goblin book just for the hell of it just to mess around with NG list

would probably involve fanatics converted ng spider riders and mangler squigs.

Tbf I have been dying for an excuse to get a mangler squig

I like O&G, but yeah, they are a bunch of jerks. I decided that I would theme my OK army to run around in the mountain tunnels looking for where the night goblins keep the mushrooms.

They're one of the classic fantasy archetypes (alongside Elves and Dwarfs). Sometimes it's good to get back to the roots of Fantasy, especially after the head spinning releases in 2011 (I'm looking at you Storm of Magic).

Oh SoM kicks butt and NG shaman are a lot of fun to use in it. I've always enjoyed using what other people consider a lesser army and love to see their faces when I put my NG down and that gleem in their eyes that they are going to win and then (insert hand pointing in the air) by turn 4 watching the sweat pour from their brow as they watch their army getting smaller and smaller. It is classic.

The unpredictability of O&G armies is a good reason. Just when it looks like they're going to anihilate a small unit of NG archers with armoured goons, you unleash the fanatics. The look on the opponent's face is priceless.

I think Warhammer has the most interesting and fun Orcs of any fantasy universe. They are both terrifying and hilarious at the same time.

This as well!

Throw in a giant and more hilarity can ensue.

Just the randomness that comes with them, because you never really knows whats going to happen with them on the table.

Especially if there is to many building, trees or what have ya on the table, then it really stirs up a chuckle or 2.
