PostSubject: Orc Mob - Fluff List   Orc Mob - Fluff List Icon_minitimeTue 22 Jun 2010 - 15:55

Hello gentlemen.

I were running a Skaven gang in our first 2 games of our Mortheim Kampagne but will stop doing so as they are really much to strong (especially at campaign start ) I only used 6 slings for the whole Gang (all for the Heroes) and took ther rest in Henchmen (10 Vermikins and 2 Giant Rats)

So I will hire a new gang .... and I like the background of the Black Orc Mob very much.

So here the question:

How should a fluffy Orc Mob List look like at the beginning. I were thinking this way. Only the Black Orcs deserve the good things at the beginning therefore they got armor and shield.

The Young`Uns are here to learn to get famous and as I play a Black Orc Mob I need a Black Orc Young Un (no discussion about this point)

In order not to go to low in term of Gang size I were thinking of following set up

Black Orc Boss
Axe, Shield, Light Armour

Black Orc
Sword, Shield, Light Armour

Black Orc
Axe, Shield, Light Armour.

Black Orc Young`Un
Axe

Orc Young`Un

2 Orc boyz
Axe

1 Orc Shootaz
Bow

1 Savage Orc
Choppa

This would make it a total of 9 members for the starting gang which is not much. Some lucky shots with a bow will really hurt that gang, especially if it goes on one of the Black Orcs.
What do you think ?

Alternatively I could set up a maxed out variant (which I don´t like that much with regard to Fluff) by just using the 5 Heroes with Axes only and then 7 Orc Boyz with Axes.

What would you advice of being a good starting gang Fluffwise and also in terms of gameplay.

Regards
Claus

get clubs, the errata says you can so I would highly suggest it.

1. They are cheap
2. They are better then Axes

The errata for Orcs & Goblins says you may take clubs, but i have not seen the same for Black Orcs. Am i mistaken?

I can say that black orcs with heavy armor, shields and choppas are very effective, having fought many times against them!

@Pathfinder

As the Errata is only talking about Orcs I would say that Clubs are not available for Black Orcs.
They are the better, bigger and nastier guys who don´t touch the smelly things like an old club.

They like armor and good weapon.... Wink

I will only take Clubs for my henchmen.....it´s more fluffy this way.....I think.
