All,
I steered clear of the usual war machines and the likes. I feel as thought the troops are the core of the army and will win the fight long before the artillery does anything.
Army List:
[436] Black Orc Warboss riding a Wyvern
Great Axe, Drog's Dead 'Ard +1 Save, Sizzla's Shiny Baubles
[100] Orc Shaman
Level 2, choppa and no magic items.
[237] 17 X Black Orcs with a Boss, Muscian and Standard.
Extra hand weapon, choppa and heavy armor
[188] 20 X Boyz Mob with a Boss, Muscian and Standard.
Choppa, Spear, light armor and shield
[176] Savage Orc Shaman riding a Boar.
Level 2, Choppa, War Paint, Frenzy
Ditto's Double Doin' and Dispell Scroll
[231] 10 X Savage Orc Boar Boyz with Muscian and Standard.
Hand weapon, Spear, Shield, War Paint, Frenzy
*** I'm debating these as one unit of 10 or two units of five.
[60] 1 X Goblin Wolf Chariot
[60] 5 X Goblin Wolf Riders.
Hand weapon, spear, light armor and shield
[55] 5 X Goblin Wolf Riders.
Hand weapon, light armor and shield
[120] Night Goblin Shaman
Level 2, Hand weapon, Magic mushroom (free starting one) and Dispell Scroll
[108] 22 X Night Goblin Mob with a Boss, Muscian and Standard.
Short Bow
1 X Fanatics
[130] 22 X Night Goblin Mob with a Boss, Muscian and Standard.
Spear and Shield
2 X Fanatics
[95] 25 X Goblin Mob with a Boss, Muscian and Standard.
Spear and Shield
[1999] Points.
Note 1: If I split up the Wolf Riders and Boar Riders I only have enough models for a single set of Muscians and Standards. Since they will be in one rank I doubt they will help much and I can save a few points and add Boss's to the seperate squads. That will give me TWO additional Bosses for the Battle.
Note 2: Should I put 2 Fanatics in the Short Bow Squad. I think they may draw a charge earlier.
Note 3: I have a Orc Shaman on foot that I can swap out for the Big Boss on the Boar. The more I think about it the more I'm tempted. With no war machines the 3rd Shaman will really beef up my long range fire power.
Note 4: I may not like War Machines, but I do LIKE Big Black Orc's on Wyverns! He has a 1+ save and can reflect spells back at the caster. His goal is to draw fire away from my core units and to do a small bit of 'Eadbuttin on his own!
** Edited** Amended army list: Dropped Boss on Boar, added Shaman on Foot, split wolf riders into two groups of 5 and dropped command from wolf riders.
