What would be a WAAC orc army ?
Or it doesn't exist.

  what is the question? or is it a query? or a request for information, I am at a loss. steveb

I think he wants a suggested armylist.

He may also be asking in a round about way "Can Orcs be WAAC?"

The answer, not really.  They don't have a rock hard killed, WAAC build because they are:

1.  Extremely fun.

2. Fairly unreliable.

3.  Lacking in a completely crazy, no-brainer, uber-unit.

4.  Lack the knockout magic phase they used to be able to field (they never get more than 1 extra powerdice, yet still suffer the horrid miscast table  )

But boy they sure as hell are fun to play with.

Hehe so orc are the fun factor. But reading their book through I am pretty sure grimgore is quite cheesy.

Im just holding out on a branch here but could you call a night goblin army with a crapload of those crazy spinny ball guys and bolt throwers?

thats the only one i can think of aye.

A 8 BT NG list would be nasty, but those fanatics are not reliable enough to call it a WAAC list.  Thats a good point though.  I have run 16 fanatic lists and they can be nasty.  They at least keep the big terror models out of range

Actually Philly...
A terror causing model charging a Goblin regiment, which fails its Ld test, would not release its fanatics.
The goblin regiment would flee before the Terror causer would be in range for the fanatics.

[Adrian]

Doesn't terror works at 6 inches, fanatics come out at 8 inches don't they?

[McKnight]

Correct, but if the terror causer charges, the charged unit must take a terror test before the terror causer moves.

But sure, the terror causer would end up at som other goblin regiments. Im just pointing the other thing out

[Von Breden]

Orcs can be WAAAGH!, that's what I know...

Good point, though they would be risking fanatics if they passed their test (which they should since the general should still be LD9 for a WAAC list).
