So over the past few months I've been play testing my Orc list and figuring out how to use the multitude of units and crazies in the list. I think I have sussed out what I think is a good list. The next two things to test in this list is the Black orc boss on a boar (used like a Scar Vet) and his accompanying boar boy unit. I'm not 100% on this unit yet so will have to test but so far my main learning point is the list absolutely and critically needs speed. Without it you really struggle to control board space and chaff, little shooting units can sneak about and do what every they want with no reproach. Additionally access to spells from the big waaaagh is critical, you need foot of gork and hand of gork to be able to put massive pressure on your opponent in the magic phase and a keep up relentless damage at range.
What I am really struggling with is the wolf riders in core, without other chariots or fast moving units to force chaff to flee, I really get stuck with what to do with them. Animosity really becomes a problem when your trying guarantee chaff clearance but I think you just need to accept this as a fact of life with Orcs and Goblins! I absolutely love units of 3 wolf chariots so if I do drop the boar boys then ill pick up a unit of these. Another thing I want to add to deal with any regen or skirmishers is the ruby ring, I can fit this on the night goblin shaman so will give this a go too.
Anyway let me know what you guys think of the list, it certainly needs some tweaking!
