Lava Lord:
Having an off / on again self debate and would appreciate some outside thoughts. :idea Would you go with a second Earth Shaker or 18 Orc bows and chuppas. Both have purpose and advantages.:hat off :hashut
gIL^:
hmmm, to avoid beard orcs, but i would rather get like 3 bolt throwers or loads of orcs without bows
Uzkul Werit:
An Earthshaker all the way. I mean, Greenskins of any desciption (unless mounted) aren’t that useful but when compared to the game changing ability of an Earthshaker …
Theory_Man:
If friendly games are your style, go with the orcs.
If you what your list to be the most competitive it can be and winning is your goal, then go with the second Earth Shaker.
Willmark:
An Earthshaker all the way. I mean, Greenskins of any desciption (unless mounted) aren't that useful but when compared to the game changing ability of an Earthshaker ...True. However, unless you want your opponnent to punch you in the face, orcs are the way to go. Earthshakers are indeed awesome, but using two invites complaints of cheesiness.

Earthshakers are indeed awesome, but using two invites complaints of cheesiness.Like if the Empire or Dwarfs Kingdoms artillery wasn't that violent... :~

Hashut’s Blessing:
I’d say the orcs with bows as a sort of defence for the first earthshaker. The bows will pepper and annoy. The orcs will draw fire from other targets. They have light armour and T4. Anyone charges/gets charged, they got choppas too.

There are plenty of cheesy combos out there. We Chaos Dwarfs! We don't need a second ES to pound our enemies into submission!
Lava Lord:
Just want to thak everyone with a barrel of lava.:cheers I enjoyed all your advise. My opponet got a maraginal victory out of our battle. I didn’t handle his VC black knights very well. There were two units of five, one with his vampire lord and banner of barrows (sp). Of course, it didn’t help that my three bolt throwers never got a shot off the entire game, 6 turns.:hat off
Uzkul Werit:
I have never had complants about the second Earthshaker. Mind you, I generally don’t whore the Bolt Throwers or Slaves either.
gIL^:
