Four of ten Goblin Wolf Riders. Painted the wolves way back when, but only finished the goblins in 2008 I believe. Next to the snotlings and the fanatics these were the first things I’d painted in several years. They’re a bit bland, could do with some hightlighing and the painting of something on their banner. Gamewise they’re a great cheap unit which is generally very effective.
These are one of my favourite unts in the orc army.
My reason is they are there to do a job.
They are painted table top standard plus but you can still handle these without feeling the need to have a perspex box around them.
Ther not uber tough on the field but they are a fast unit. There not broken rules wise and are a honest tool. The are not an independant fighting unit.. the need to co ordinate to survive.
Yeah they’re a good unit. And true enough about them not being and independent fighting unit, they certainly have a very marginal fighting ability (though at 10 with a standard and a rank they start with a reasonable combat resolution) but raw fighting prowess is not always important.
