1 beefy troll boi with all the perks and toppings that he gets from the legion rules
140
8 Moranon orcs w shields
6 Moranon orcs w shields and spears
1 moranon orc standard bearer w shield

The mouth of Sauron. Armoured horse
8 moranon orcs w shields
6 moranon orcs w spears and shields
1 troll drummer

Moranon orc captain w 2 handed weapon
6 orcs w 2 handed picks
5 orcs w spears
1 orc. Naked as the day he were born

750pts on the dot

The weird spear numbers are because this legion wants you to crowd the enemy. Troll drummer is the 2nd threat and a great way to speed my advance across the board.

No idea how good this bad boy will be though.

I think this would do alright at its points level. Not sure about all the two-handed weapons though. They seem like a liability to archers and most everything in combat especially without spears backing them up.

Whoops, those 5 orcs w shields have spears, not shields.

I'm keen to give them a go tbh. 6 pts per model for (with piercing strike) s4 +2 to wound potentially seems absolutely silly

Wait, you mean +1 to wound right? Two handed weapons are +1 to wound. Also, you looking at a model with -1 to win duels, dies on 4s to strength 3s in combat and 5s to both strength 2 and 3 bows. Force as cheap as they are it might not be much of a risk.

They die on 5s to S3. I think you meant S4.

+2 to wound if they outnumber the enemy in close combat as per the black gate opens legion rules. +1 for the 2 handed weapon +1 for outnumbering

I played against Easterlings yesterday. Pulled a narrow win. Killing Kataphrakts on 4s with Moranon orcs from outnumbering was god tier. The 2 handed bois were very killy as well. And annoyingly resilient :yay:

Isn't there still a -1 to defense if you lose a fight in which you used piecing strike? Making the orcs defense 3?

Either way that is a nasty special rule to be able to stack. I see why you were so keen on it.

Yeah, it's -d3 actually. But you only piercing strike against d6(common), d8+ (not common)or maybe against d4 if you REALLY want that dude dead and will risk all to turn a sure thing into a surer thing. Most d8+ things that aren't dwarfs will be wounding on threes already though I guess.

Yeah I can't wait to play some dwarfs :twisted:
