Thanks dude! We’re lucky that we still have some 8th Edition tournaments in England.

I’m a firm believer that if you make ‘interesting’ choices in your list (as I have) you have to bring some strong stuff too. There’s also quite a difference between 4 Beasts and 13!

As I don’t have the extra models yet it’ll be 3.

Yes indeed CR.
Draft 2500 List

Black Orc BSB, 4+ Ward Armour 165
Gitilla da Hunter 110
27 Big’Uns, Shield, FC, Razor Standard 323

Clearly, this is a bit short of 2500. The Core comes neatly to 626, I’m happy with it. Special is pretty self-explanatory. Rare leaves 120pts, likely more Daemons. The Heroes are fairly set. I feel the BSB needs a Ward save, though if I can get some Magic Resistance in, I might go for the 2+ armour instead. An alternative load-out for the Orc characters is:
Orc Warlord, Great Weapon, 4+ Ward Armour, MR 3, Ironcurse Icon 221
Orc Lvl 4, Dispel Scroll, Ruby Ring, 4+ Ward 295
Black Orc BSB, Silvered Steel, Luckstone 165
This would add 31pts. I have a week to decide on something more cohesive!
