So now that I've had some great input on what to add to my existing Greenskin army, I want to talk tactics. Let's start buy posting what I have...

1 - Grot Shaman
20- Grots

1 - Mangler Squigs

1 - Savage Orruk Shaman
20- Savage Orruks

1 - Orruk Great Shaman
2 - Orruk Warboss
2 - Orruk Warboss on Boar
2 - Orruk Boar Chariot
10- Orruk Boarboys
20- Orruks

And now how I'll group and play them in a 75 point SCGT list...

Backline
1 - Grot Shaman
20- Grots w/full command, grot bows an' slashas
The Grot Shaman will be casting Sneaky Stabbin' on the bow Grots. These guys will either stay back and protect my mid fielders, or move in when the midfield chargers disperse to take up post next to my midfield Shaman.

Midfield
1 - Orruk Great Shaman
1 - Savage Orruk Shaman
1 - Mangler Squigs
10 - Orruk Boarboys w/full command, choppas an' tusker shields
Everything here will either be on flanking duty or picking out key targets with either charges or spells. The Mangler Squig will be sent in early, into whatever hole is left from the Orruk frontline charge. The two shaman will either start with damage spells if there are targets in range, or cast mystic shield on whatever I think the enemy will target.

Frontline
1 - Orruk Warboss w/boss choppa an' boss shield (commander)
1 - Orruk Warboss w/banner
30- Orruks w/full command, choppas an' Waaagh! sheilds
30- Savage Orruks w/full command, 3 big stabbas, stone choppas an' crude shield
Both Warbosses will run between the two groups of 30 and run up the middle. In objective games these will work as either blockers or takers depending on the battleplan.

What do you guys think of this general game plan? I know that things will change based on a lot of factors (what army am I facing, battleplan, time of war, etc), but is this a good general game plan with each units use figured in soundly? Is there anything I'm missing or overlooking with how each unit should be used/equipped? I've been thinking of running the Orruks with Pigstikka Spears to insure they can reach over the Savage Orruk's heads, but I really like the rend and Waaagh Shields, so I'm up in the air about it. I think it depends on how wide I want my frontline dispersed. Because If I want wide coverage, the choppa+shield will do better because they won't need to hit over as many heads. But if the two groups need to be in a tight formation to allow my midfield in, maybe the spears would be better. Another question, do my models with horns, flags, etc able to use the weapons that everyone else uses, or do they not get a weapon because the item replaces them weapon? It doesn't say that the model replaces the weapon if they use one of the items, so RAW makes it seem like they would get whatever you're equipping the unit with. But that would run counter with wysiwyg, so I don't know. Also, I'll need to pick up an extra 10 Orruks and 10 Savage Orruks, but that's fine if this list seems legit.

Help me out if you can. Thanks guys.
