Hello there, firstly I would like to congratulate you coming to the green side.
I am now going to pick and choose from each of the lists what I would prefer to run.
Savage Orc Great Shaman -Lvl4 -Fencers Blades -Lucky Shrunken Head 290
This guy is a fantastic caster (as are all Level 4's) you have also made him nice and defensive with the WS10 and the 5+ ward save for him and his boys.
BSB - No offense I don't like any of the builds you have listed, since he is going to be in the Savage unit I would consider making him Black Orc with Silvered Steel (he is 2+ and then ward from shrunken head)
Savage Orcs - Very very good offensive unit, DO NOT run them as a horde, yes they get lots of attacks but apart from a ward they don't last that long so you want to limit the amount of attacks that they receive. I'd run the unit 6x6 including characters so 34. Not really sold on the Big Stabba myself it does make a nice unit filler however.
Wolf Riders - 5 with Spears and Shields are perfect, bows are kinda meh. Learn to use these redirectors and the movement phase will quickly become your favourite.
Trolls - Go for trolls, same attacks and wounds. Same stupidity less points. either use lone trolls as chaff/redirectors/animosity buffers or go for a uit of 6. 6 is the sweet spot. In my games that I include Trolls I like to include
Goblin Warboss - 126 pts
Light Armour, Giant Wolf, Sword of Anti Heroes, Enchanted Shield, Dragonbane Gem
Nice save and has a good ward versus fire, when you work out what unit has the Flaming Banner (it'll be opposite your trolls) slam this guy into them and hope he holds. The BoEF makes ALL attacks flaming so he only takes a wound on a 1.
Hope that helps

29xSavage Orcs -Musician -Standard -Big'Uns -AHW 339
30xSavage Orcs -Musician -Standard -Big'Uns -AHW 350
5 Savage Orc Boar Boys -AHW -Standard -Musician 120

I take it that your BSB joins the general in one of the SO blocks? If so just dump the magic armour and shield - save those points since he gets the ward from the lucky shrunken head.
Also you can only have one unit of big uns, so I'd look at something like
So Great Shaman - 290 pts
Level 4 Upgrade, Fencer's Blades, Lucky Shrunken Head
SO Big Boss - 117 pts
Battle Standard Bearer, Extra Hand Weapon, Standard of Discipline
34 Savage Orc Big'Uns - 394 pts (BSB and Gen Here)
Extra Hand Weapons, Mus, Std
30 Savage Orc Boyz - 290 pts
Extra Hand Weapon, Mus, Std
5 Forest Goblin Spider Riders - 65 pts
5 Forest Goblin Spider Riders - 65 pts
6 Trolls - 210 pts
Troll - 35 pts
Troll - 35 pts
1501 Points
