Hunter orcs one of the best throwaway models?

I really wish they did too. To be honest, it feels like they are punished for being mounted......a sad sad thing.

Indeed, I wish the rule was that they got two attacks mounted but no bonus for charging or something. Three attacks on the charge would be a bit over the top.

Hunter orcs are one of my favourite warriors in game. The 2 attacks are great!!But if they fail the duel roll they are easy to kill.

Why would that be OP? That's exactly what Sons of Eorl have

The SoE are 22pts each.

I don't think they need 2 attacks base on the warg tho, as much as it would be nice to have. You basically swap 2 attacks for knockdown.

And yet they still pay 4 points more than regular warg riders to have those two attacks, which can't be used until they get off the warg.

I think at least some of that is the fell sight special rule. Hardly worth it though.

But yeah, as to what you guys were saying before they should have 2 attacks and 3 charging. The evil need an elite cavalry unit like that.

I mean, apparently, hunter orcs are scary stuff.....if you watch the movie, the captain and like what, maybe a dozen orcs on wargs or maybe 15 and lie 8 wargs scare the life out of thorins company?

You really think in the game 12 hunter orcs on wargs and 8 fell wargs would even be remotely close to an issue for the company? Not a chance.

Youve got 13 heros against like 20 models. No chance.

If they had 3 attacks though....it could make an argument for evil.

The scene I meant is from the first Hobbit btw where the Elves ambush the wargs.
