Looks pretty solid to me.

I'm not a huge fan of the Arrer Boys, so I would take those points and invest in some cheep gobo heroes to give some extra punch to the gobo units.

 

[Lynks]

Wheres all your impact hits spears I would take them on all your units that can purely for the fun of it. :devil2:

 

[Jagged_Dragon]

How is it your BSB has the Armour of Destiny?

I agree with Burnination that the arrer boys are prob a waste, those 12 arrows would be more effective as a few extra Black Orcs or Boyz.

 

[DLW]

Is there a reason the warboss is a black orc? A regular orc warboss is like 50pts cheaper. I would give a regular orc warboss the Armor of Destiny and a shield for a 4+, 4++. And if your gonna spend 40pts on a magic weapon, why not give him Bashas Axe of Stunty Smashin? +1 Str, +1 Att, and Armor Piercing. Against dwarves its +2 str, +2 Att!! Its only 10pts more than the Sword of Strife.

Find the 35pts neccessary to get your Great Shaman the Fencers Blades. If you get the Fists of Gork spell your shaman will be a combat BEAST! He will get 6 str8 attacks in the first round of combat at WS10!!

With a black orc BSB he already comes with heavy armor, so swap the armor of destiny
(Since the warboss should have it) for the Talisman of Preservation and the Enchanted shield. He will then have a 3+, 4++.

I would also drop a lvl on the night gobbo shaman, since the great shaman will be using all the dice. The signature spell from the little waagh is good anyways. Give him a Dispell scroll.

Losing the arrer boyz is a good idea. The regular boyz too.

Make the Savage Orc Big Un block 38 strong, and put the Great Shaman, and BSB in there. The BSB will help to keep your magic phase goin by not letting the savages fail animosity.

Swap out the regular gobbos for night gobbos and make sure they both have nets. That -1 to strength is great! Getting em up to 40 would also be good.

You'll need some redirectors and war machine hunters also. So get you some wolf riders.

Tell you what, I'll send a 3k list to give you some ideas. I will try to keep most of the things in your list, in this list.

 

[Jagged_Dragon]

seriously though, how is a BSB getting magic armour?
Am I missing something in the rules, because I'm fairly certain BSB cannot take magic items except banners...

@ jagged dagger

Its either magic equipment OR magic banner

 

[Jagged_Dragon]

I'm surprised no Fanatics in the NG hordes, I usually find them very effective, even if just for the psychological aspect.

 

[DLW]

The psychological effect still applies even if there aren't any!

Besides, I got tired of having to relesase them on turn one due to going second and the opponent having cheap units that vanguard up then move to release the fanatics. You then either have to sacrifice them by shooting them out of the back of the units off the board, or risk getting hit multiple times before you make it across the table.

 

[Jagged_Dragon]

@DLW, ah, that makes sense, I guess I haven't read that part in some time, I always ended up giving my BSB a banner as O+G or HE

 

[Burnanation]

Fallen, have you had a chance to test you list?

And have you painted them?!?! b/c if you have I would like to see them.
