Initial thoughtsįrom what I’ve heard, most people view the Black Orcs team as a worse version of the Lizardmen team and I don’t agree with this statement. They are similar if you look at the team roster as there are six strength four blockers, a big guy and some stunty linemen.
However, the Black Orcs play differently, in my opinion. How do they play and how do they differ, I hear you say. Well, I don’t believe that the Black Orcs are a controlling team like the lizardmen.
The quickness the Lizardmen possess enables them to defend the whole field and if you manage to get past their defense, it’s hard to run away from them. They are also fast enough to score in two turns and can easily switch their game plan to a 2-1 grind tactic. The team can even score a one-turn touchdown out of the box if need be. On the other hand, the Black Orcs don’t have the Lizardmen’s speed and need to use a different tactic to win. They are the kind of team that benefits from having a numbers advantage as they must avoid leaving gaps to exploit in their defense. Sure, it would be great to take Mighty Blow on a couple of black orcs to help work towards a numerical advantage, but I don’t think this team has this luxury as other skills are in higher demand. So, how do they work towards a numerical advantage? Well, they’ve got cheap linemen in the form of goblins and access to discounted bribes. I believe that they need to incorporate fouling into their strategy as it might prove difficult to win without it. Black Orcs Team QTYĪlways Hungry, Loner (3+), Mighty Blow (+1), Projectile Vomit, Really Stupid, Regeneration, Throw Teammate Let’s have a look at the players that make up the team in detail. Special Rules: Badland Brawl, Bribery and Corruption Black Orcsīlack orcs are slower than a lizardmen saurus, but start with Grab and Brawler. Both good skills, but neither would probably be chosen as a starting skill for a saurus. Brawler lowers the risk of a turnover and opens up for taking Guard as the first skill on some of the black orcs in the team. Normally, Block would have been the first choice and it will probably still be on some of the black orcs. However, taking a Guard player or two isn’t a crazy idea as it will help you keep the strength advantage as well as helping your goblins with their fouls. Grab will also help with fouling as victims can be dragged behind the black orc line to get a good kick from a goblin. Grab can also help the team move forward at a slow pace.
These goblins are 5k more expensive than a regular goblin, but they get Thick Skull for that.
