The Beasts of Waaagh Mega List
January 31, 2012 by warzan
Now that our Orcs & Goblin generals have had a good long look at the army book. Warren gives us his ultimate-mega-greenskin- Beasts of Waaagh list that he's put together with the help of his trusty Goblin under-boss... Darrell.
I love making up Orky names. I still have fond memories of using my old Epic Mega Gargants, Skumsplatta and Slimesqueeza. And players such as Chukka Snotrag, Wizzin’ Wagrut and the very dirty lineman Grok Grabsack are currently in my Orc Blood Bowl team.
For a fantasy wyvern, what about things like Heddrippa, Splatswoopa, Flapdeff, Brainbomma or anything with bursta, cruncha, breaka or basha in it.
Orcs are funny.
wyvern name = goundhuggar (in a pirate accent, cus you cant beat a pirate accent)
your have to drop a pump wagon as you can only have two in a 2000point army. I would use these extra points to add a few more black orcs to the unit so you can lose some wounds to shooting and not affect the hordes combat.
other then that sounds like a fun list love seeing the wyvern in it. seem to be all the big things that can fly died in all the 7ed games and theres none left.
wyvern name = the ejakulator (in arnie swartzanegger’s accent).
Wyvern name : Choppa
So your orc can say (in an Ahnold voice) GET TO DA CHOPPA!!!

Wyvern name: Duarfhumpah! in a pirate accent.
Its a good list I think. Not totally sold on the 30 arrer boyz, but I guess they’re still sort of killy in units of 30.
Wolfbasha the Wyvern, in honour of Darrell’s love for space wolves?
Wyvern name = land cruncha
I say if you send your black orcs up alone they are going to get flanked, loose their rank bonus, break from combat res and get run down. Against your massive blocks of archers you just need a couple of units of skirmishers to screen the main force and engage them in melee for a turn. You need screening units of your own, skirmishers or not… more flanking wolves to deal with enemy stone throwers. I suggest changing one unit of arrer boys to regular boys, give em shields or spears and split them into 2 units of 15 to… Read more »
So… no shamans and no bsb…. You going to get buttf….. dude
All your guys are running by the end of turn 3 and enemy wizards are just pummeling the pumpwagons with sick spells that you have little to no chance of dispelling.
Sorry
Wyverns name: stuntiemuncha
Like the idear of a big linebreaker unit in the middle, but as said further up they are getting slaugthered if no support in their flanks… The really problem with you’re list is, if you ask me, the lack of magic, combined with you’re big expencive units that are easy targeted my magic. Only takes 1 Infernal gateway (2d6 hit with 2d6 str, on roll of 11 or 12 on str you remove the entire unit with chars from the game), witch you proberbly wont/ccant dispell and that entire linebreaker unit is gone and so is the game… I always… Read more »
coming up with ork names is so much easeir than coming up with elf or human names, especially since the Empire names are german, by the way i’m looking for a name for my templar grand master from my Empire amry, any suggestions?
anyway, a wyvern name hmmm? how about: da big ‘eadbasha or bonecruncha
