Ravening Hordes

   I've just bought a copy of the new army book for the forces of evil in Warhammer - The Old World and have been sorting out the points values of all of my old troops. It's a nice read. The army stats are all clearly laid out and the rules for army composition and pretty straight forward.

  From the 4th edition set we have 32 goblins with thrusting spears and 32 with short bows. That kicks us off with 128 pts x 2 for 256 pts.

  6th edition gives me an Orc Big Boss with additional hand weapon for 58 pts, 16 Orc Mob with war bows (80 pts) and 16 with an additional choppa (96 pts). On top of that we also get an Orc Boar Chariot for another 90 pts.

  In the Battle for Skull Pass set Big Boss Dagskar Earscrapper is 34 pts while his chum Nazbad Wartfinger is 55 pts and Slugtooth the Troll 41 pts. In the rank and file we have 2 units of 20 Night Goblins with thrusting spears (80 pts each) 1 of 20 archers (80 pts) and 10 Spider Riders for 120 pts. All units have full command for an extra 68 pts.

  

  All in all that gives us a nice 1200 pt army with 62 pts to spend on magic items. It won't be legal for matched play but fine for narrative. Can't wait to get my hands on the Forces of Fantasy book and sort out my Empire and High Elf troops. To battle!
