Morning folks. Going to a rather small-scale, more relaxed tournament at my FLGS and in a fit of ineptitude misplaced my Empire rulebook. So, rather than attempt to create a list from my failing memory, Orcs and Goblins it is.

I wanted a list that would be a little different, able to handle all comers, and would be fun to play against and with. To this end, I present to you the following -

Skarsnik and Gobbla
lvl 2 Orc Shaman - 2 dispel scrolls
lvl 2 Goblin shaman - Staff of sneaky stealin'
Black Orc BSB - Gork's War Banner (+d6 charge)

25 orcs with 2 hand weapons, FC
30 orcs with 2 hand weapons, FC
30 orcs with 2 hand weapons, FC
Squig Herder Unit - 15 squigs, 10 gobbos
5 spider riders
6 squig hoppers
25 Black Orcs - FC, Mork's Spirit Banna
3 Spear Chukkas, bullies
Snotling Pump Wagon


This comes out, if memory serves, to exactly 2000 points. I know Black Orcs are expensive but I really like having a unit I can count on to crump stuff when it comes time. However, I've never played O+G in a tournament setting, so I'm not really sure what they can bring to the table, so to speak. I'm open to any and all suggestions and really appreciate the feedback. Please also note I am almost literally swimming in models so substituting stuff won't be an issue.

Thanks Dakka!

Your about 150 points over (147 to be exact) you have one too many special choices even with the 241 spear chukkas other than that it looks nasty. Have fun!

I like the look of this list a lot. Nice amount of magic and magic defense along with some bulky orc units. Skarsnik looks a little out of place in this army with no other night goblin units and lack of those ever lovable fanatics. Although that staff he's wielding will get some use once the boyz near an enemy. On another note (even though said before) i'd get rid of a bolt thrower and herd unit, i've found the hoppers to be much better and the more the better! Hope it helps.

Congratulations on your win. Will throw up a report of the event later.
