The whole list is 4 pts shy of 2500. Really the strat is charge and WAAAGH , thats when I can lol. Really I am trying to use snotlings as cover untill close enough to charge or waagh . And yes all heros are in the units . They are the primary powers of my army. This army totals somewhere around 150~170 models I lost count.

OK, Big units of BOrcs are NOT the way to get an effective horde list...to be honest they are not even really a good unit at all :(

Alright, before anything else, you really need a BSB with the spirit totem - it will give you a much stronger magic defence, mobile +1CR and vastly improved reliability for the entire army.

Get some goblins into the list my friend, and a mix of wolf and spider cavalry, two units of each preferably to deal with vaious threats.

Units of 25 Orc boyz are key, perhaps 1 of which can be savage.

Some speak chukkas to deal with flying gribblies sound ace.

Chariots to support infantry (I prefer wolf chariots) are a great choice.

Characters:
BOrc Warboss: Screaming Sword, Enchanted Shield, 5+ Ward, Boar
BOrc Big Boss: BSB, Spirit Totem, Boar
Goblin Big Boss: Tricksy Trinket, Chariot
Orc Shaman: Scroll x 2

then go the rest from there.
