You should add in some black orcs my brother used to always destroy me with them.

Firstly I would ensure you have a dispel scroll in the army... extremely useful item...

I'd switch out the additional handweapon on your warboss for a great weapon

banner of the eternal flame is cheap enough to go on the unit so your bsb can have protective items...

your orc warboss... is it really worth it to spend all those points on an ogre blade when a great weapon is much cheaper and the same bonus to strength? might free up some points easily...

looks like a fun list... orcs & goblins can be a very fun army to play for sure!

thanks, my dad set me onto gotilla the hunter so I think I'll swap the night goblin warboss and a couple of orcs or boar riders for him, and then once i swap the ogre blade for a great weapon I should be able to put some armour on my non-magical bsb and I could swap the channeling staff for a dispel scroll.

That was a question I had. Wesley is looking to make the Wolf Riders into a harassing unit. Gitilla is kind of expensive, but he makes them +1BS and Quick to Fire, so BS4 if moving instead of BS2. Also lets them re-roll Pursuit and Flee rolls - which works well with Fast Calvary/Feigned flight. With all this, is Gitilla worth it to get a bit more out of the unit or are they better raw. (Gitilla is Multi-shot(3), also).

Another question I had was about using a Night Goblin BSB with The Bad Moon Banner. He is planning on some characters in his Night Goblin unit and I thought this combo would help them stay around longer - Stubborn, count as in soft cover, chargers take Dangerous Terrain test. Is he better with an Orc BSB or does the Night Gobbo one + banner give a good boost?
