Orcs, Goblins Or Both ?

[d w a r f]

hi i really need asome help on this.

i dont know wether i should get orcs goblins or both

as i would like an all goblin as i wanyt an army with numbers. but the orcs extra leadership and strengh and toughness and all that is a bit much to pass up for a few more pionts .

can you guys help me ?

Well, taking an all gobbo army with orc heroes wouldn't be very fluffy, and you would be seen as cheesy.

I think laying both orcs and gobbos brings more balance, and more fun.

While all orcs, you would play the Ardboyz army list, why is very competitive, and gives you a better chance at victories.

Go more what your inner Waaaagggghhhh tells you to do.

by the extra abilitys i didnt mean orc bosses that would be cheesy ( like those big stupids feet) what i meanr was like just take a few units of them . but i will think about it while painting my first night goblin regiment .


anymore replys would be greatly appreciated

Both, definitely.

I like playing my O&Gs like I believe they were designed to - ie. Goblins are expendable and support troops while Orcs are the main weapon of the horde.

Do as you'd see fit your playstyle the best ... but I recommend using both.

yea i might take your advice ion thaqt

i still like gobs better but i think orcs are the much needed fighting power

The most destructive orc unit would be savage orc big Uns! try them out.

Definitely both, the army is called "Orcs & Goblins" after all The different types of units can be used very effectively together. Big blocks of orcy boyz with gobbo fast cavalry running around works a treat.

"Where Orcs are strong and resilient, Goblins are weak and fragile, so that it is very common for a Greenskin horde to be led by Orcs even if it contains mostly Goblins."

ok but say i choose both would 3 units of night gobbos be good to start ?

i coild make 2 units of 30 out of that then give em fanatics

would that be a good start considering i prefer gobs and would like to just use the orcs to support

I treat orcs and goblins as two separate armies really. I started playing with gobbo's and now as I paint the bigger things in my horde I'm playing orcs only. The plan is though to eventually combine them into one huge green throng!
