Orc Machine

After i finish my WoC i will probably move onto Orcs and Goblins. Orcs and Goblins interest me, as they have the most interesting army book. Heaps of crazy fun units, and a few competitive builds. I think unlike everyone else on the internet that they are very competitive. Sure maybe not as much as skaven or dark elves. I would rate them second tier alongside High Elves and Lizards.

Firstly they can chariot spam. Chariot spam is good and O&G can do it better than anyone else as they can take tonnes of war machines as well. O&G magic is also good and magic mushrooms are awesome. The green skins can also field more war machines than anyone else and still have a decent cc force.

Here is one way i would make and O&G army.

Lets start with as many warmachines as we can muster

2 rock lobbers with bully 190p (bye bye hordes)
2 Doom divers 180p (bye bye knights)
6 spear chuckas with bullies 270p (bye bye anything)

Sure empire or dwarves could field better fire power, but than they own face in close combat. What we need is an army that is content to sit back and wait for the enemy to come to you, but still being able to move to the enemy quickly.

That leads on to a nice sized unit of Boar Boyz to be the ideal choice.

10 Boar boyz 160p
Big Unz 40p
Shields 20p
Spears 20p
Standard 10p
Musician 10p
Flaming Pendant 10p
=270p

Savage Orc Big Boss 150p
Additional Hand Weapon 3p
War Boar 24p
=177p (thanks nike phoros for this combo)

Those two together can hack through nearly anything.

For more balance some Wolf Riders need to be added

4x 10 Wolf Riders 400p
Musician 40p
Spears 40p (so i can actually kill a warmachine crew)
=480p

I know that a lot of people consider this to many, but i disagree. They die easily and they suck at killing. 4 units should be enough to defeat the enemy scouts them destroy some war machines after a couple of casualties.

3 disposable units should be enough to hold up the enemy.

25 Night Goblines 75p
1 Fanatic 25p
x3 = 300p

Now for the hard hitters

20 Savage Orcs 160p
Musician 10p
Standard 10p
Additional Hand weapons 10p
=190
x3 =570p

Now for magic. Little waagh is better as it is based around buffing/de buffing, and spells can be spammed.

Lets start with a
Night Goblin Great Shaman 140p
SDispell Scroll 25p
Lvl 4 35p
 =200p

Now
Night Goblin Shaman 50p
Lvl 4 35p


Night Goblin Shaman 50p
Lvl 4 35p

Finally we need a banner bearer. Cheap is cheerful.

Night Goblin big boss 30p
BSb = 25p
Light Armour, Shield 4p
= 55p


Lords = 200p
Heroes = 225p
Core = 1350p
Special  = 447p
Rare  = 270p

=2492

Powerful war machines, magic spam good combat. This list seems balanced and with equal players, should beat all but the good top tier armies.
