	*'''Riftforger:''' The support caster, comes with CS2, Inspiring, optional Stormstrike, and can be given Bane Chant (2), and/or Host Shadowbeast (3). What makes them unique is that they can still cast either spell in melee combat targeting either themselves or another Riftforged unit that is also in melee combat with the unit they are fighting.		*'''Riftforger:''' The support caster, comes with CS2, Inspiring, optional Stormstrike, and can be given Bane Chant (2), and/or Host Shadowbeast (3).

One of only two units to lack CS1.

Very nasty against screening chaff, and hurts even larger units when flanking.

	*'''Stormslayer:''' Its a CS2, nimble Troll with no regeneration. One less attack than a regiment of Trolls and no waver value. Its best to think of it as a precision flanking than a straight up hammer unit like regular trolls as it can weave between units with its lesser frontage than a regiment of large infantry.		*'''Stormslayer:''' Its a CS2, nimble Troll with no regeneration. One less attack than a regiment of Trolls and no waver value. Its best to think of it as a precision flanking than a straight up hammer unit like regular trolls as it can weave between units with its lesser frontage than a regiment of large infantry. Downside is little synergy exists with the rest of the army, maybe some kind of Stormslayer hero in the future or an upgrade that grants Inspiring.

	*'''Ambarox:''' The Riftforged Orcs made friends in the rift and are bringing their buggy mates home to play. Ambarox is straight up just a mobile insectoid artillery piece for the army. It does not have the attacks, nerve, or special rules to do anything in melee. What it does have is a 24" Blast (D3), Piercing (1), 4+ range attack with Steady Aim, giving it an effective 29" threat range. In terms of role, its basically the Riftforged version of a Skulks Troop; provides slightly better, more accurate fire support, but costs 30 points more.		*'''Ambarox:''' The Riftforged Orcs made friends in the rift and are bringing their buggy mates home to play.

'''Tundra Wolves:''' Taken straight from the Northern Alliance list, these are fast moving irregular chaff units to block charges and screw over Troop sized ranged infantry or warmachines with their Thunderous Charge 1. Not Riftforged and no CS1, pairing it with the Orclings.

	*'''Gore Riders:''' Your only basic cavalry unit, Orc boar riders. They have speed of 8, melee on a 3+, and defence of 5+. All of this is really nice, plus they get the standard Thunderous Charge (1) for cavalry. They're also not too expensive, although they cannot be taken over regiment size. A must include for most any Orc army, giving you mobility and hitting hard.		*'''Gore Riders:''' Your only basic cavalry unit, Orc boar riders. They have speed of 8, melee on a 3+, and defence of 5+.
