With the Gloomspite Gits release behind us, it's time to talk Orcs & Goblins - them squabbling boyz are usually up to no good and with a combintation of fast movers, random movers and monsters, they have a good arsenal to smash things with. So what is the unit (or unit combo) that you fear once you see across the table?
I've had the opportunity to play O&Gs quite a bit, including the usual all-goblin army that our own KevinC usually sports and here are my takes:
- Savage Orc Big'un horde with Shaman and Shrunken Head - Fanatics (when you forget about them) - Mangler Squig

nothing fills me with dread like facing two mangler squigs and the Hand of Gork/Mork. As someone who uses small, heavily armored elite armies those bastards give me heart palpitations...

4 bolt throwers backed up by two doom divas and two rock lobbas. First 3 bolts always miss but that last one always hit 5s.

My #1 spot has to go to Dual Mangler Squigs. I immediately devote all firepower at my disposal to dispatching them.
#2) Dual Doom Diver and Rock Lobbas. (These have always had uncanny luck against me.)
#3) Arachnarok Spider (8 wounds and 16 attacks + Thunderstomp is just nasty)
#4) Savage Ork Horde (The sheer number of attacks this unit can churn out is ridiculous. You have to take it down quickly and if they're toting a Lucky Shrunken Head, that starts to become a problem.)
#5) Squig Herds (They don't care about losing them because they'll "blow up" in your face.)
#6) MULTIPLE Lone-cowboy Goblin Heroes (These guys can be an ultimate annoyance. They're fast, can pack a punch as hero-level characters and are so cheap (as far as points) that you can bring a bunch. They'll harass your war machines then support their combat blocks (see #4 & #5) for flank and rear charges. There's usually too many to focus fire on, especially if there are other big nasties (#1, #2, #3, etc.) out there drawing your firepower.

40ish squig herds give me fits. I feel like there are so many dangerous things to shoot at in an O&G army and I just have this dread that if I don't whittle them down I'm going to get slaughtered by all of the S5 squig bites...then they explode.
Arachnorok scares me because of the number of attacks and wounds plus great movement and mobility.
Cheap war machines. I take lots of Empire knights and an occasional steam tank and I know that there's going to be a moment in the game where my 1+ save is utterly ignored by a lucky bolt or doom diver strike.

Especially if you're an elf! My local O&G guy places his Gobbo Herders in the front of the squig unit. So my elves kill the goblins first, protecting the Squigs... Bad time to be an elf! |

A move worthy of Skarsnik himself!

Mangler squigs are an MVP for my Savage orc Tribe. Saw one eat a stegadon once, first turn in a triumph and treachery game.

Mangler squigs and doom divers can give me the heebie jeebies (all depending on what army Iām using). Hand of Gork also scares me. I still think it is the best movement spell available.

Agreed with knoffles! If you do not fear DOOM DIVERS and MANGLER SQUIGS then something is wrong with you!!!  |
