Hello All

I am returning to WHFB (after a LONG time) and i am trying to decide on an army to build.

In the past I always played High Elves but this time i am looking to take a new direction and I have reduced my options to the following 2 armys

Orc and Goblin or Warriors of Chaos

I was hoping to get some opinions/input about the relative merits of both these armys

Well, from an OLDER O&G Player, ( a couple of editions ago)
O&G are a horde army, no real ifs, ands or buts about it. You're going to be painting alot of models, using alot of models, and having ALOT of fun. Animosity is probably the single best rule in the game for making the games hilarious. However, it's ALOT of models. Also, Gork&Mork magic is hilariously badass. Seriously, who doesn't want to stomp there opponents with a magical foot?

Thanks for that.

I bought the O&G book yesterday and enjoyed reading about Gorbad that i think i will go O&G.

Do you mind if i ask what army you are using now ?

Cool welcome back! Next buy 3 boxes of savages, 2-3 boxes of black orcs, 2 boxes of goblins either night or vanilla (I like vanilla since they are rarer however NGs get netters and fanatics which are so good it's hard to pass up, and if you are playing right they should be in the Generals LD bubble anyway, if you go with NG grab a box of fanatics too), a BSB, a goblin/NG shaman and a savage orc shaman, also 2 trolls to use as single redirectors/chaff. This is a good start easily 1500-1850 depending on magic banners and mage levels 1-4 Great/Regular Shamans variety.
