Have you ever played a Warhammer campaign that centered around an Orc/Goblin Waagh?

Space Monkey01 Mar 2012 3:30 p.m. PST

No

Mardaddy01 Mar 2012 3:40 p.m. PST

Nope.

No, but one of the best games of Warhammer Fantasy I played was one I played my orcs vs another orc army.

We played largish campaigns with orcs travelling through the Empire pillaging as they went, several times. Now we didn't call them waagh anything, why would we? Can't stand the phrase it's what babies say when they cry not what orcs say when they crump som'fing.

Yes sort of. Not using Warhammer rules for combat but we had a campain where each of us played a orc/goblin tribe/faction in a mass invasion of mankind's lands, competing for loot glory and kudos as we burned our way into the empire.

No, can't say that I have.

Back in the late 80's we played "Orc Wars" from the D&D The Orcs of Thar Gazetteer. It was not memorable.

Yes. I was the Waaagh. My friend played Dwarfs. I decided to use a special character….something I wasn't fond of doing, for flavor's sake. So I took Gorfang Rotgut to lead my army, mainly because he hates Dwarfs.

We structured it to make use of the then-new Warhammer Skirmish rules. So we played a few skirmish battles, the outcomes of which would influence the larger battles to come. I won the first skirmish, and then proceeded to get curb-stomped every single remaining game, skirmish or no, of the campaign.

Some things I took away from the game: Dwarfs in 4th edition kicked butt. One of the skirmishes we played was "silence the watchtower", in which a lone dwarf mans a watchtower and tons of night goblins attempt to climb the stairs to kill him. That dwarf killed goblin after goblin after goblin without dying and thus the watchtower was never silenced.

Second: Animosity was not my friend.

Third: Gorfang Rotgut was a terrible character and terribly overpriced (points-wise). i never used him before or since.

Fourth: Dwarf Ironbreakers were about the toughest troop choice in the game back then.

Fifth: You don't have to win a game to have fun, as long as your opponent feels the same way. I got killed every time. It just made my misery funnier that I loved every minute of it.
