Gorbad or Wurrzag?

[Henry R]

I'm creating a savage orc army with lots of boyz and boars. Which Lord do you, my fellow gamers, think I will benefit most from? Clearly Wurrzag goes better with my army's theme, but Gorbad's supportive abilities are unmatched in other Lords, making him a top choice for a low leadership army. I'd probably mount Wurrzag on a boar.

depends on what you're truly going for. if its theme, then I'd rock out with Wurrzag. besides who else can lead a bunch of crazy orcs besides the craziest orc of them all?

[Henry R]

Right, thanks. Wurrzag it is.

On paper wuurzag isn't very good. Your beter off with a normal level 4 who can give the whole unit he joins a 5+ ward save. Gorbad is one of the best characters around. He gives orcs exactly what they need leadership.

Alright, I'll make a few lists with Gorbad and Wurrzag and see which one looks better to me. Thanks.

EDIT: I think I'll use the new finecast savage orc shaman on a war boar model for Gorbad so he fits with my army's look, problem solved. I also have another question. In the Night Goblin entry it says that they may take short bows in place of shields (they can't take both), but the Night Goblin spider riders entry says they can take short bows, even though the equipment section says they are armed with shields. Since there's no specification, I was wondering what to do.

Keep it simple, if it says replace one option with another, do that, otherwise they get both.

[Henry R]

Alright, thanks.
