Some mates are starting up WHFB, one already has a Skaven army, the other is looking into WoC and TK, I think he's leaning to WoC though. The army I like the look of the most are O&G, purely on a style basis. I understand that they're regarded as a lower tier army than the two I'd be facing, so I'm a little concerned that they'll be completely uncompetitive? We'll be playing for fun, but there's obviously always a competitive element to the game, so I'd really prefer not to be blown away easily every game! I'm just a little concerned that this and the fact that both my friends are more experienced in WH could possibly mean a number of one-sided games?

With the above in mind, what should I do? Are there any builds I could try which could be relatively competitive vs. WoC and Skaven (and still fun and not cheesy, if that'd even be possible)? So, what's the best place to start, and what'd be the best models to pick up initially, a bunch of night gobbo's and throw in some blorcs? The current battalion's etc. don't seem great, so I may just try and pick some second hand stuff on ebay/market places. I've also just ordered myself the army book, so hopefully that'll arrive this week.

Any advice would be muchly appreciated guys!

Cheers!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390385/3201378.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390385/3201378.page GMT Re:Newbie to WHFB - Thinking of starting O&G Army If you're up against Skaven and WoC like you said, you should have many strong troops IMO, since skaven are really weak and Chaos Warriors are strong as f&%! really. I'd recommend you have lots of normal Orks, Black Orks, Boar Riders etc. When you play against Skaven, here's a tip: Try to make them panic as fast as you can, and watch out for their warmachines as they can be pretty nasty. And if he's got big blocks of rats I recommend you get a Rock Lobba or two, as they can be very effective against the T3 Skaven units, which are pretty much all of them

Hope I helped.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390385/3205312.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390385/3205312.page GMT Newbie to WHFB - Thinking of starting O&G Army http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390385/3205991.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390385/3205991.page GMT Newbie to WHFB - Thinking of starting O&G Army
Oh and don't worry, O'n'G got a pretty nice chance of winning vs Chaos and Skaven.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390385/3206949.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390385/3206949.page GMT Newbie to WHFB - Thinking of starting O&G Army

Where are your big bosses and warbosses? You're also missing a BSB. If you're going for a mixed bag (both orc and goblin units), I'd suggest a black orc warboss (although he might put you over points on Lords) to help with animosity and maybe some regular bosses (goblin, orc, savage orc) to add some punch to your units. Especially the Savage and Black Orcs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390385/3211769.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390385/3211769.page GMT Re:Newbie to WHFB - Thinking of starting O&G Army WoC.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390385/3216894.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390385/3216894.page GMT Newbie to WHFB - Thinking of starting O&G Army http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390385/3219443.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390385/3219443.page GMT
