I doubt the Chalice will be worth it, you could probably save some points there or take a power stone or something.
Maybe consider a Battle Standard too? It’ll really help the infantry stick in the big combats.
Perhaps a wider frontage for the Blorcs, to maximise damage? These guys are all about dishing it out, unlike the CD warriors who are built for static combat resolution.
War Banner!! Never leave Zharr without it :cheers
Also, it seems a shame not to take a Ld 10 Hero general, just to lord it over our puny enemies
yeah - I was tempted by the Ld10 hero, my initial list had a Ld 10 hero, with hammer and armour of the furnace, but then I realised I could only have 50pts of magic items! so used the excess points to make him a bull centaur instead.
Not used the chalice before, thought it’d be quite fruity and could reduce enemy magic quite a bit - especially as most armies will only have lvl2 magic casters.
Hmm if I could find the points for an extra 4 black orcs I could have a unit 6x4 - that’s quite a hammer.
unsure about the light armour/shields on the wolf riders, makes them a bit expensive, but I guess it makes them a unit that might actually be able to do something
Could drop the hero back down to a chaos dwarf, drop the 20 hobgobbos down to 10 and get another 4 black orcs…

I like a Hero general with Armour of Gazrakh and a great weapon. The insult factor of being Ld10 and less than 100pts (less than the bonus VPs when he dies :)) is just awesome.

Ye but it reduces your dispelling capacity too. I just don't see it being worth the points in <2k games, but see what you reckon.

:o I was thinking 6x3 or even 7x2. Even with these low numbers, the point is that they will tear absolutely anyone a new one when they charge (with additional choppas and a frontage of 6 thats 13 Str 5 attacks :o). 24 will cost a bomb. If they're in range of the general, losing by a few points shouldn't matter (especially if you take a Battle Standard). Those extra ranks of Blorcs aren't really cost effective and could pay for a lot of other stuff. Another unit of slaves could also help set up their charges.

Its the best thing about them really (the insult factor again, fast cav with 4+ saves :)), they're unreliable at best. Are you planning to lead them with the BC Hero?
