My friend will be using my TK army for the first time tomorrow. Im taking O&G against him.
I have most of my army ready. I have: a black orc general on a boar chariot 35 goblins 35 night goblins 20 orcs 20 black orcs as my infantry section, and 10 boar boyz 9 boar boys Big'Uns led by an orc hero 14 wolf riders 5 wolf riders (light cav) 2 bolt throwers 2 doom divers and one great, and two normal shamans. I have 180 points and one rare choice left. I have a terrible problem, I just cant decide what to do with them. 1) I could free 25 points somewhere and get a giant. Id love to see a fight between a giant and a bone giant! 2) I could take 3 stone trolls, which would be good in case my friend uses the Casket of Souls with their MR2. They would have to stay close to my general though and if he's killed they will be near to useless with stupidity and LD 4. 3) I could go cheap on the third rare choice by including a pump wagon. That would leave me with enough points to increase the unit sizes of the Boar Boyz and to include another small wolf rider unit or make the infantry units bigger too. As Khemri players, which of these options would you recommend? In other words, if you'd face my army, which of the mentioned choices would you fear most? Ive been weighing out the pros and cons for a few days now and just cant make up my mind, this is my last desperate effort to get some help on deciding. Please give me some suggestions! |

The giant.
It is fairly hard to kill for TK. It removes ranks. Its fast. Its immune to fear. And it will easily beat a bone giant, since "thump with club" is very hard to dodge for a dead guy. Not that your other choices are bad, but the giant seems most proactive. Pete -------------------- Duke Volants results (victories-draws-defeats): 31-3-9

The orc on a chariot wont last long if he plays with cats.

I assume you have fanatics in the night gobbos. . . if not I'd get em. We dont have enough units to effectibely draw them out, and because we wont break you need to kill as much as you can. Besdies, they are random and fun.

Ok, thx guys. Actually I allready played the battle, I did decide to take the giant. However, it was hit in the first round by a lucky hit from a SSC that killed him instantly... I still won the battle though rather easily, because my black orc general prevented my army from running (i passed dozens of panic and fear tests) and I outnumbered the enemy by 4:1 or 5:1. Eventually my army simply flooded in from all sides, overwhelming the skellies. By the way, I didnt take fanatics, which was a good idea. In the first round 3 carrions flew right up to my NG's - if fanatics had jumped out, they would have stood in front of my battle line and seriously would have hampered my movement.
Not that its of great importance, but what do you mean? |

good call with the fanatics, totally forgot about carrion. . . oops!
he meant a lucky SSC shot will bust your chariot. . . guess it didnt happen to your chariot, but instead happened to your giant -------------------- Three little known facts that should be well known: 2150 is better than 2k, Mexico makes great Gin, SSCs are very overrated.
