Editing Warhammer/Tactics/8th Edition/Orcs & Goblins (section)

===Magic===
As mentioned previously, O&G Shamans get access to two unique lores: the Big Waaagh! (orcs), and the Little Waaagh! (goblins). Where most of your damage spells will be coming from the Big Waaagh!, Little Waaagh! spells focus on debuffs for your opponent and buffs for you. Often times you may want to take one of each type so you can access both lores, and generally this is what you should do. Additionally, sometimes greater numbers of lesser shamans can be more effective than a single great shaman, as with the typical greenskin Ld they will be miscasting at least once a game. It's always nice to have backup casters when your main one's head explodes in a shower of magical gore and brains (and it WILL).

The best magic combo is usually a level 4 Savage Orc Shaman and a level 1 (or 2) night goblin shaman.  The Savage Orc usually totes the lucky shrunken head and the night goblin totes a dispel scroll.  The night goblin is either a level 1 with the ruby ring of ruin or a level 2.  

With this combo, you have plenty of options to choose from. 


As far as spells go:

Instead of writing about them, there's an article by a member of Da Warpath (Orc & Goblin website) about our magic.  It's written better than anything else I could say.  Plus, I'm lazy.  Go here to read and be amazed by what our magic can do for you.
