Warhammer Fantasy
Orc & Goblin 
Special Unit Tactics

The Orc special units are where the specialists of the arny are found. However as these units are found in the Spacial Units section, you will be limited in the number of these units you can field.

Black Orc Tactics

The Black Orcs are the heavy hitters of the Orc and Goblin army. parallels in other armies would be the palace guards or Dwarf Long Beards.

Orc Boar Boyz Tactics

The Boar Boyz are the Orc cavalry. They are not as fast as horse cavalry, but the boars are far more bad tempared. This is represented by giving the boars a impact hit type bonus in the first round of combat.

Savage Orc Boar Boyz Tactics

The savage Orc Boar Boyz gives you a squad of Savage Orcs with all their spacial rules on boars with their special rules too.

Orc Boar Chariot

If you charge, the Orcs in the Orc chariot have spears a choppas, this gives them extra punch in the first roung of combat, the boars gets the tusker charge in the first round too, and of course and chariot gets the impact hit too. This means that you get a massive bonus if you initiate the charge, however if your chariot gets charged, you will loose these bonuses. So the oral of this story is to keep your chariot clear of the enemy fast units untill you are ready to use it.

Keep you mind on the fact that if our use the chariot to wipe out a unit, then it will free to take on another unit later in the game. This means that you want to take on smaller straggeling units. Use your artillery and infantry units to whittle the enemy units down to size, and the chariots to finish them off.

Goblin Wolf Chariot

The Goblin version of the chariot. Cheaper than the Orc Boar Chariot, faster, you can have units of three chariots, and the Goblins have bows too. This makes they good harassing units if you can get to the back of the enemy lines.

Goblin Spear Chukka

The Goblin Spear Chukka is a Crossbow war machine. You will need to roll against the Goblins balistic skill to hit, so using the Spear Chukka misses more times than it hits, but it's points cost is cheap enough to be able to have two or three. It's listing in the Special Units section of the army list helps here too.
