Orcs & Goblins are one of the oldest Warhammer
armies around, along with the High Elves. Because of this, they are
well developed and have a wide variety of wacky and characterful
troops, from Black Orcs to Snotlings. However, all of their troops
just want one thing - "a gud 'ol bashin'".
Because of
their famed slow wit, and lack of general intelligence, Orcs &
Goblins tend to be a bit of a gambler's army. They are great fun to
play with, but a lot of the game is left to pure luck. For example,
troops like Goblin Fanatics and Squig Hoppers can move randomly, and
as often as not, end up rampaging back into your own battle-line,
causing horrendous damage. Also, because much of the Orc army is made
up of smaller tribes fighting together, there can be infighting,
known as Animosity.
Perhaps it is
their unpredictability which has endeared the greenskins to the
thousands of players who own them, but the fact remains that they are
one of the most popular of all the Warhammer armies.
