New Year, New Armies

Hey people,

Rumours abound on the Orcs' new army book and I tell you... it's all looking bad for the enemies of the Greenies at the moment... check out the new orc warboss... rumoured to be the Gorbad Ironclaw model... it's vicious!!

Also, Orcs get +1 S with a choppa now.. even with two hand weapons!!! Black Orcs now can choose weapons every round of combat too...

On top of that, the darned things have a free move every game, the 6th spell of little Waaagh! gives you D6 S10 hits if you fail an I test ( Talk about having a grudge vs Dwarves) ...

On the good side, at least the gobbos cost one point more and have no options to have shields.
The fanatics also can only be released as a charge reaction, which bodes well for opponents ... AND .. (I see this as the most impt change) you can only have as many black orc bosses as you do Black Orc units... hopefully that Black Orc general rule doesn't still apply ...

Also.. boar boyz now cost 22 points each!! YAY !! No more huge units of 12 - 15 Boar boyz a la Evan style!!

Now if only they made Dark elves this viable... sighz...
