Orc boyz?

[The King in Yellow]

having trouble finding a use for them...theyre expensive and goblins seem to out perform with what you can afford.

[yoda gaming]

then use gobbos!

[The King in Yellow]

i do! its all i can seem to make work

[Itharus]

Ywah there's something wrong with them. They basically don't beat anything.

[Wyvern]

ork boys win melee fights while gobbos absorb hits, flank and chase after foot archers thanks to their silver shields.

Goblins are cheap, they have 24 Melee Def., have silver shields, and there's 120 of them in a unit. Overall better fodder unit than Orc Boyz, who only have a bronze shield and relatively high Charge Bonus going for them.

Better leadership too. That's the real downside to goblins.

Even then, they'll muck up anything long enough for your more hard hitting units to do their business. The Goblin's leadership may be numerically lower than the Orc Boyz, but the fact that their Melee Def. is higher means that they'll stick to a melee grind longer than an Orc Boy, whose leadership will fall faster due to their poorer Melee Def. and seem to route off just as fast as a Goblin.

As long as you're not using regular Night Goblins as fodder, you should be fine. The RoR Night Goblins are quite good too.

Yeah and just to point out I'm talking of custom battles and multi....

oooh, nvm, yeah, ork boyz dont really seem particularly useful then, since youll want savages or biguns or black orks for damage.

They're completely useless then, either get more grots or get more big in a. Dumb. Maybe if their unit size was increased they would be better but as Is 450 is way too expensive

In the early Greenskins game I use both. Gobbos to hold the line, and the Boyz run at the flanks so they can get their charge bonus in. They're merely meant to hold you over in the campaign map until you can get Bigguns, Black Orcs, and the rest of the fun Greenskins units. If you're only playing custom battles and whatnot, then there's really no reason to use Boyz since you have access to the better stuff.

You didn't bother reading my entire post, did you?

A paragraph is hardly a 'block of text' and this isn't twitter. Increase your attention span beyond 120 characters.

They're completely useless then

Was pointing out that they do have a use, it's just in the campaign. They're a stepping stone unit and you only use them in the early game.
