[Archive] Adding Orcs

Guildenstern:

After converting the BFSP box dwarfs to CD and gobbos to hobgobbos, will we see how to convert 6th Edition box Orcs to nasty black orcs under CD regime?

Xander:

A black orc box set is coming out very soon. No need to convert them, unless you want to save a few bucks, I guess. The new plastics are stellar though.

Chaos Dwarfs can run straight Orc Boyz anyways. So converting Orcs to Slave Orcs might be a more worth while endeavour.

Cheers. :hat off

If you still fancy it, then try this:

Xander:

I just found this page:

http://uk.games-workshop.com/orcsandgoblins/miniature-gallery/6/

"As the tribes expanded, migrated north, and learned the secret of metalworking from the Chaos Dwarfs, a few tribes were left behind in the south."

Is this in the new Orc army book also?

AGPO:

It is indeed, just along side the entry for the Black Orcs which also mentions the Chaos Dwarfs

Xander:

Sweet, awesome stuff. GW really seems to be sowing the seeds of the Chaos Dwarfs into 7th, far more than they did in 6th. :slight_smile:

Guildenstern:

I just want to use this stupid orcs :sick

metro_gnome:

regular boyz iz far better than Blorcs… you can use twice as many…

cornixt:

Common Orcs are a real bargain. A unit of 20 is not only an excellent missile shield but can also hold their own in combat if you play someone with little shooting, unlike Hobgobs.

AGPO:

CDs are indeed all over the place in background terms. However, if anything this seems to make me think that they may well soon become a DoW choice rather than an army. There have been references in the following GW books, to my knowledge:

Storm of Chaos

Orcs and Goblins

Grudgebearer

Ogre Kingdoms

7th edition army books

oboudd:

AGPO
you forgot the rule book:hashut

AGPO:

I meant to put rule book rather than army book :frowning:

metro_gnome:

and Liber Chaotica: Khorne…

AGPO:

haven’t seen that one, what does it say?

Lord Zarkov:

Also both of the last two -Slayer books

Uzkul Werit:

And in Trollslayer.

AGPO:

Yes, but trollslayer was published during 5th edition when the CDs were very much still a widely available army
