4++

20 ng
bows muso
2 fanatics

33 Black orc Immortals
fc

Horde formation

2 x RL
2 x DD
2 x Mangler

So 2 awesome blocks of death, both immune to animosity. NG for fanatic bombs.
I used to run 2 lvl 2 orcs and have gone back to it. We only really cast 2 spells, foot and hand, and most likely rolling 6 dice at both, so level 4 not really needed.
Heaps of shooting fun, thinking of maybe dropping a RL for 2 SC? thoughts?
Level 2 savage and bsb go in savages. Grimgores immortals...WOW. They will eat anything, seriously. Hatred Black orcs...just wet myself. If i get all front models in combat, thats 40 rerolling attacks...Weaponskill 5 too, str 5 attacks, thats not including grimgore.
With GW, its 30 strength 7 with rerolls to hit. It will kill anything.
And Grimgore has 5 re rolling strength 7 always strike first attacks, 1+ armour and 5+ ward.
Gobbo hero is awesomeu, he can declare a charge, cause a terror check on things outside LD bubble, then if they flee, can do it again. Awesomeness . he also has 2+ ward vs flaming, and 3+ armour save. not to shabby.

Personally, I think you need more chaff. You have nothing really to stop the SO BU from being led around the board by the nose apart from the lone goblin hero. And as your entire list is on foot, you WILL get out manouvered. Which means that Grimgore will only ever get into combat with stuff your opponent wants him to get into combat with (unless, for example, you are playing another foot slogging army like WoC).

Not sure where to get the points, perhaps dropping one of the NG units and a couple of the BO/SO along with the champs would fit you in a couple of Wolf rider or spider rider units or even three lone wolf chariots - something that can take out the diverters for you.

Cheers Steve

How about this, it still has the same combat power, but a lot more chaff units.

I would try to add a big block of NG with nets .

Would love to, just can't find the points.

Running Hord with only 30 Savages and black orcs is IMO not a safe bet as every wound you take before you strike is less attacks going out. Id say run the units 6 or 7 wide with 4 ranks. Just my

Dropping a pump wagon gives you 15 NGs. Add them to the unit of 20 and give them HW+shield and they are ready to go!

Yep! 6 wide is really good for these guys.
