I'm currently constructing a Orc army lead be Warboss Grimgutz Bigtoof
I am going to get the following 2x New Warboss kit 1x Black orcs 3x goblin shamans 4x orc boyz boxes 2x savage orcs boxes 2x boxes of night goblins and at least three more trolls
What do you say? Does this seem like a strong list from boxes only?

Seems like a solid, typical Orcs and Goblins army.
But you should get common Goblins instead. They need more love, no one uses them. Just their freaky, boring cousins. Common gobbs are supposed to be more common than dirt.

I would say get some Boar Boyz. I only played one game of Fantasy in the past 17 years - it was with Orcs (no gobbos at all) and I won a pretty solid victory VS an expert Lizardman player who works in my local store. Boarz did better than their riders and killed off loads of Temple Guard.
Orcs are very fickle - you need some Black Orcs around for the animosity thing not to completely stump you. Having said that my list was pure normal orcs - the Bronze Tusk tribe. Night Goblins have rubbish Ld - at least normal gobbos are 1 pip higher. Night Goblins have Fanatics, of couse, everyone is scared of them.

I don't think Yarrick would approve of this army... There's something, and I can't quite put my finger on it, but I don't think he'd like it at all...

It couldn't be the goblins could it? Perhaps I should add more boyz? GAAAH I miss the old Quell animosity rules!!

Fanatics annoy me. and the reason I've come to taking night gobbos is nets. I'd get a giant but I'm afraid I'll get another screamer (Rolled 1's 3 turns in a row. Took a wound each turn too. Hmmm).
Anyways screw what I think. Whats your dream list? Dat dere sky is da limit.*

Yarrick is offended by orc chariots and pump wagons. Yarrick prefers the Fortress of Arrogance and pimp wagons.

Yarrick DISAPPROVES of Fanatics, because every-frakking-one else uses them.
A list can under no circumstances be Awesome if it includes such lame things.

I must agree with Makarova. I think it was the time my fanatic whent into it's host unit 3 times in a row that has made me dislike them....Had to shoot it down. It was heading toward my black orcs...

We are all in agreement, then. If we see people using Fanatics, then we hit them with spiked clubs, cudgels and maces (one after the other). You have been warned Night Goblins!
My wish list? SQUATS... Or Araby, or Cathay. Why does Warmaster have Araby, and Fantasy doesn't? Maybe I could sculpt turbans on Empire Archers ... *imagines codpieces and turbans together....*

Turbans and headwraps are easy to sculpt, I planned on making an Arabian-looking army myself a while ago. The clothes are a bit of a problem though. Bretonnian Peasants would probably be a good start as desert people wear wide, thick clothing rather than the Empire tights and puffs. But their weapons are a bit off, nothing screams "EUROPE!" like bills, scythes and guisarmes.
*hands out spiked and blunt objects to everyone*
GOBBO LOVE! FREE THE COMMON GOBBOS! DEATH TO CAVE DWELLERS! GOBBO LOVE!

I kinda like the caves myself... but nuts to all dat nonsense, it's a grotz life for me.
Best to just stick a crude gun in his hands and poke him toward the enemy with a big pointy stick.

Can I at least have the Black gobbo and Skarsnik? Tricksey traps and sneaky schemes are really nice.

You may only use Skarsnik as part of an all Night Goblin force. If you do use a pure Night Gobbo army then we (the Warhammer Mafia) will allow you to use D6 Fanatics... and we WILL check your dice rolls.. oh, and you can use as many clubbers and netters as you want. You have been warned Mr Stone Troll.. ;D ..otherwise Grom the Pauch has you for brekkies..

Fine I shall bow to Makarova's will and start a speedy Grom the Paunch army. Lots of wolf chariots, Wolf and spider riders and river trolls(My kin).

Makarova doesn't like special characters, but she nods approvingly of this action.

GRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Jenkins. Also I must include Black orks and GRIMGOR! I'm sorry. I just love those two units. By the way has anybody used a unit of gobbos that was over thirty models? like say one hundred? It's somewhere around 320ish with full command. Practical, probably not. Funny, yes. I've done it....with paper. The look on my opponent's face was priceless. spent the entire game trying to kill them. Rowdy Grott's big red raggedy banner payed for itself 6 times over in leadership tests. Failed once.

I've played against a unit of 40 or 50 I think. Broke it in one turn, along with half his army.
