How did I end up with Orcs? How does anyone? They are a plague and just start growing everywhere. I was just starting Fantasy and was using Lizardmen. I needed the main rulebook and the local GW only had a Spanish version that was mistakenly shipped to them. So I had to buy the sixth edition set. It had the Empire and Orcs complementary starter armies. I put the Empire on Ebay and kept the Orcs. I wasn't officially collecting them at the time, but thought they looked cool. My wife bet that I would buy more and officially collect them at a certain time. I won the bet (passed the betted time), but still started buying Orcs. I wanted to paint one and sort of got hooked. I looked at the Orc army book and laughed at most of the pages. This is the army that I play when winning isn't as much of an issue as just having a GREAT and laugh-filled time! I love the Animosity rule (wow, never heard an Orc Warboss say that before?) and I love the Squigs and Fanatics. That clinched it for me. I had to go green. WAAAAAAAAAGH!
