Always a pleasure to see painted warhammer armies fight it off on the tabletop.
Thank you - we do try and play with painted armies most of the time.
8th edition I assume, right?
Correct - greatest of all the editions (Your Warhammer May Vary)

How do you like the archer orcs? I've never seen them used, and all the people I knew that bought them (used from the starter set) did so solely to convert them to orcs with choppas.
They're rubbish.
On the other hand they are still a unit of Orcs, so most core troops will find them a handful if they let them charge in a block.
As missile troops they're hopeless. But they're a colourful part of the army list and to me that's a lot more important than whether or not they're any *good*
Plus TBH painting them as Arrer Boys is a lot less tedious than trying to convert them - what with them all having quivers stuck on them.
