#1 Post by Shalyir »

Well met, fellow brothers and sisters!

Would like to ask an advice about a list you'd bring vs. 1500 points Orc & Goblins army that guaranteedly includes:

Black Orc on Wyvern
Arachnorok spider
3+ Night Goblin fanatics
2+ Chariots

Thank you!

I would recommend Cav units with Counter Charge, so Silver Helms and Dragon Princes. Coupled with some decent static res - War Banner, Battle banner, and some tanky Combat Characters. That should give you a decent enough start on what to build around. Also, High Magic is very good against O&G as almost every spell has some great utility. Good luck!

Though the Wyvern and the Arachnarok aren't the toughest monsters out there, you do need some way of dealing with them. Chose your preference. I would go with one or two of magic, monster slaying sword, and your own monster, combined with a bigger combat block. Dragon princes are a good, though expensive, choice. But a couple of chariots, SM or PG could also work. WL I'm not sure about, with Strike Last. Though in a bigger ball, they could still be scary if you manage to get the charge off.

I wouldn't worry too much in listbuilding about the fanatics. They hit hard, but they're also very random, and after they have been released, they're as likely to hit the O&G as to hit you.
