in a 2000-2999 point army you can only have 1 lord.

i dont know much about O&G but i have lost to them befor. and i would have a core of boys and nightgoblins. have a few fanatics and some orks with bows for range attacks. other more experanced players can help you more. but this is my thoughts. also a core of 40 in an O&G army seems really small.

in a 2000-2999 point army you can only have 1 lord. You can have as many lords as you want as long as the total points for them doesn't exceed 25% of the points limit |

For your orc big boss with 2+ silver armour, you can get the same save if you give him the 5 point enchanted shield and 24 point boar, which will also make him cavalry, What does BSB mean?

dont feel stupid i asked the same question when i first got my lizardmen. and they can have sheilds and can even attack. the hero your making the BSB might have special rules or will say can be made a bsb for +25points. then also can sometimes take magic banners.

- some battle standard bearers can take sheilds, others cannot... it will say in the relevant army book whether or not they can. As per the list... Bryan you're still thinking like a high elf! need more infantry blocks... the wolf riders are harassment units at best - same with the spiders, although Tommy's been running a big block of them successfully.... but they cannot be counted on to win a fight... the unit of black orcs is good for sure, but without another combat block, you'll be somewhat lacking.... there's a 40k ork saying that is true in fantasy as well "more boyz, less toyz"  wait a second... just re-read that... are you putting 20 spider riders / wolf riders in one unit? |
