Ork Horde! Tell me What you think?

[Widigo]

I assembled an army (At least I will, I only own Grimnak on this list!) and I wounderd what others thought of the team. It is for a 1000 point game (I riley riley like theme there 1000 pointers). Feed back is good. Keep in mind im new at army creation).

Tornak - 100 pts.
Grimnak - 120 pts.
Krug - 120 pts.
Swog Rider x 4 - 100 pts.
Arrow Grut x 8 - 320 pts.
Blade Grut x 6 - 240 pts.

If you don't like this army you can kiss my Krug.

I may have overdone the poll thing.

Shame you dont have a Nerak but this army lacks alot of defense. Aside from krug this army (all though theres alot of of em) would easly be stopped by the bugger guys (Jhoton, Charos and Braxas would lay wast to it at 2 /3 the cost)

[Widigo]

how would i fix that? I will look into Nerak once i get the basic men.

I gave you a 4. Take out 2 Arrows and 2 Blades and add Mimring. Arrow Gruts bond with him. You'd still have 6 Arrows and 4 Blades. Arrows and Mim is one fun combo to play.

Arrows and Krug are OK, too, but why not bond them with a flying 6 movement figure with 8 range, only to clean up what he missed with the Orcs?

Just a thought.

[Widigo]

ok i add that in,

i need to work on a custom mimring being riden by an ork war chief.

You should read the orc article I wrote on the homepage. www.heroscapers.com

Also, I think you need more Swogs.

I did read that,

the only problem I see is that the orc strength comes from thier bonding abilities and synergies with those characters. You dont have enough of the bondies, like mimring. For 1000 points, you just dont have enough staying power with the bigger units. Orcs are great for a 300 to 600 point game.

I couldn't have said it better; my thoughts exactly.

with 1000 points, you're almost better off having 2 "platoons" for an army.
You'd be way more versatile.

I agree. Take out two arrows and two blades, add Mimring, and you should be a fearsome force. I don't think there's much that could stop you, if you play this right.

I only have grim and mim out of this army, I am just working on ideas.

Well,
I think that it's a good army 8
for swarming over large heroes you can't go wrong with this!
Although.... You might have trouble squishing them into a starting zone.
