Army list

The actual Orc & Goblin army list does not include any mention of Gnoblars and Hobgoblins. Gnoblars are part of the Ogre kingdoms arme and hobgoblins are with the Chaos Dwarfs. Sacrana 19:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spore theory

The spore theory could be correct. It's fully possible that the orcs arrived all over the place and then congregated towards undeveloped areas, where they were able to develop their crude society unhindered.

da best?

I have heard different stories about the strongest warboss, but who is it? The armybook claims booth ironhide and ironclaw but i don't understand who is the strongest warboss. Can anyone tell?

Wrong focus

Due to it's in-universe style, I found this article to be largly useless to me. As with almost all Warhammer army articles this is written as a fictional racial history. As an article on an army in a wargame, the emphasis should be on the army, not the racial history. Perhaps someone could layout (or quote) a 'role filled by this army as compared to others' section, or a style of play section, and cut back 90% of the crap about where the first orcs may have come from, and which warboss is the greatest. The Wood Elves article could be taken as an example of how to write an article about a wargame army, rather than a history of a fictional race.

I wrote a long section just now entitled "Orcs and Goblins Army", somewhat based on the Wood Elf article. I sure hope it helps to improve the article, because I worked damned hard on it. Any improvements anyone would like to see made? Mythicalmonk (talk) 04:38, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Interview with Mat Ward (O&G 7th ed designer)

There's an interview with Mat Ward, the designer of the new Army Book for Orcs & Goblins available on the warvault. Great source of info for an "army design" section if anyone is planning on making one.

have the orcs got any allies? In that causes what? They like strong people and the only people with body strenght left ( that they're not at war with ), are the lizardmens,are they neutral or are they pals with eachother?
