End of a waagh

[Deraj]

Well, I'm selling off my Orcs, my first army when I restarted fantasy several years ago after about a 5 year hiatus from fantasy, so I relearned to play using them. I cannot express my love for this army, even if it didn't really love me. I've played 94 games with them, and I want to get to 100 before they're gone. I have made a 2000 point list to do this, I hope to play 4 2000 point battles and 2 1500s, but it may be 2 2000s, 2 1500s, a 1250 and a 750.
Hell, I may even do one with Gorbad Ironclaw, since I've always wanted to.

Without a further ado (I hate that saying) here's the list. (C&C always appreciated, but I'm not sure if I should just run through the end days alone. I have never really had help with them, though that may explain the losses.)

Black orc warboss with Martog's best basha and Talisman of Protectyness (I may very well rewrite the list just so I can give him the battleaxe of the last waagh)-175
L2 Shaman (I dug out my model who has never died by the hand of the enemy, going so far to beat down 2 charging brettonians in hand to hand, his name is waaghstompa and he is THE man.) with a dispell scroll-125
Black ork big boss, bsb with warbanner-139

Giant-205
Doomdiver w/ 3 crew-80

20 Black orcs w/ fc and Noggs banner of butchery-323
10 Big unz w 2 hw, fc, and gork's waagh banner(trust me....)-165
20 Boyz w/ FC
15 arrer boyz w/ musician
20 Night gobbos w/ bows and musician-64
20 Night gobbos w/ fc and 3 fanatics-155
20 Night gobbos w/ fc and 3 fanatics-155
10 Spider riders w/ bows and musician

1997

If you win all these your Orcs can finish with a winning record which would be a nice send off.

Warboss; As you have him. With -

11 Black Orcs; Shields, FC.

Black Orc BSB; Spirit Totem, Heavy Armour, Shield, Board.
[For a 2+ Save and +3 Dispel] with -

23 Orcs; Musician, Standard, Shields.

12 Big Uns; Extra Choppa, Musician, Standard. Waagh Banner.

20 Night Gobs; Bows, Musician.
20 Night Gobs; Musician, 3 Fanatics.
20 Night Gobs; Musician, 3 Fanatics.
10 Arrer Boys; Musician.
6 Spider Riders; Musician.
Orc Chariot; Extra Crew.
Giant;

Orc Shaman; Lvl2, Itty Ring, Waaagh Paint.
Night Gob Shaman; Lvl2, Staff of Stealin.

Doom Diver;

I have taken out the banners from the Gobs, it lets you flee with you and bait with them without giving away 100 points a time. The Big Uns do more damage with that frontage, I have taken out some expensive unit champs. The Black Orcs wont need the extra ranks with that Warboss in there. I have also added a chariot. You have, 8 Dispel Dice and 6 Power + 1 Bound. I think 2 Bolt Throwers will be better than the Doom Diver, dont know if you have the model though. The normal Orcs have static res of 6 with T4, 4+ Save and 7 S4 Attacks.

What do you think?

[Deraj]

I'm going to use Santorc's sleigh as my chariot...

Also, though I would have the models for 2 spear chukkas, I have absolutely never hit anything with them, so I refuse to use them now. What does "board" mean on the black orc bsb?


Other than that it looks pretty perfect.


Not cheesey like my 'ard boyz 500 point list; 4 units of 5 black orcs with full commands and a black orck big boss...

[Arguleon Veq]

Haha, meant Boar.

He may not be able to have that shield though with him being a BSB and the O&G book being one of the older ones were they didnt allow it. Still, 3+ Save and T5 is nice.

[Deraj]

In which case I can use another of my favorite models; Kratorc. He looks just like kratos, but on a boar. I keep being reminded of how much of an end of an era this is for my army.
