A) This time Gorbad finds is bunker in the wolf raiders Unit. I want to play him carefully... He is there just to clean chaff and give support in critical situations.
B) Une big unit of SOB with lev4 wizard is my core Unit...
C)6 trolls ( will be not so far from Gorbad ) I will have his LD and they can do their job well
D)one unit of 12 BBBU ( hey it's not a mac sandwich :-) ok??? + 2 heroes
they have - AS 3+ - WS 4 - stubborn - S6 on charge
Heroes are there for the crown of command ...and for giving extra punch to the unit (WS 5 3+3 attacks S6) both have armour save 2+
E)then I added salt and pepper ... 6 chariots..... ( 3 boars chariots +2 wolf chariots +1 pumpwagon)
They are there to flank charge and support my BBBU unit and savages... to soften enemy line... and act as kamikaze ...for Gorbad !!!!
F) 6 TROLLLLZZZZZ for the winzzzzz

I don't know if the list can work in the way I want ... but I want to give it a try. It's a fast list... Gorbad will be behind trolls and in the wolf bunker. He will be well protected even from enemy's spells or wm ... It's sad to play him in this way but I want him alive. No shooting..no WM. I decided to march fast and be in fight as soon as I can.

I’m not an orc and goblin expert so take my comments lightly. Seems to me the savage orcs will get left behind because of their lower move value. The list has a fast moving theme and then there is a horde (low maneuverability) of M4 guys. The fact they are a horde (or bus) will also make it harder for them to get into an enemy flank a turn or two after your cav hits. Is it possible to get the +1 move banner on them? That might help but I don’t know if they have access to magic banners. Just my 2 cents.

knoffles :-) stay tuned... dannytee cheers for sharing your idea. I am perfectly aware of the "2 different speed " army I created. The problem is that going only cavalry won't make me win that much. I need a reliable block of orcs which will march and kill what the cavarly left on the table. Unfortunately our Boar boys aren't that deadly ....that's why I added characters to support them. I can anyway reform ( in case horde formation is too big to properly support the boars in fight.) The point is that I cannot leave home Savage orcs big 'uns .they are one of the best unit we have. Imagine if, instead of them, I use 600 points ( Base slot) of spider riders or wolf riders... It would for sure fit better to the army theme but there is no comparison in terms of effectiveness
