So since theres a million ways to setup those lords and heros within your army I was interested to know if people had any particularily cunning, or just interesting ways to setup their characters.
For my orcs and gobbos(well basically just gobbos) I usually use five characters at the 1750 points that my wallet currently allows.
Goblin warboss on gigantic spider with giant blade, armour of fortune, collar of zorga and shield. I like to go hunting the big beasties with this guy! Making use of gork'll fix it so that they cant hit me back. Spider is very useful as its got poisoned attacks which get you the odd extra wound in, as well as giving nice movement and a little extra protection from anyone who might be riding the beastie!
Night goblin big boss with luckys dirk, spiteful shield and light armour. He is nice and cheap and can turn up a surprise against much more expensive characters who think hes an easy challenge, especially if I can get gork'll fix it on em. I also get to use a squig as my spiteful shield :D
Night goblin big boss battle standard bearer with spider banner. I like to shove this guy in a big unit of short bow armed night goblins with some fanatics. On the outside it looks like a pretty harmless unit of gobbos with some easy bonus victory points, but when they charge and you get 20 poisoned shots and three fanatics fly into their face you can do the damage to your opponent before they even get to you! This guy would probaly better as a normal goblin for some extra leadership but I like him to fit in with the unit hes with :P.
And finaly a pair of shaman, one goblin with staff of sneaky stealin who is pretty self explanatory and a night goblin shaman with a power stone and as many magic mushrooms as I can squeeze onto him so i can throw out spells even when the winds of magic have ebbed a little.
So what about you guys? Any interesting characters you got, or an especially cunning item combo that you discovered lurking in the depths of your army book? I would love to read about em :)
