Hey, I’m playing against KoM and he’s a slightly better player than me. Any advice on a solid list? I was tinkering with this. Thonaar goes with the gore riders. Helstrikers together. Hordes with godspeaker and flagger.

Depending on the KoM player’s preferred list/army style you’ve got most of the right tools.
The strong units in KoM are the beast cavalry and (while not my style) cannons & handgunners, while DoW can be nasty/hard to shift depending on variant.
Nothing really can stand up toe to tie with your hordes, while your infantry regiments punch harder than theirs.
You might get chaffed up by light cav and cheap regiments (or less likely militia hordes) or run into spammed halberdiers.

He used to love flying generals, beast cav, general cav…hmm do we have phalanx? And a horde of shooters that scare me.
He does, both cheap core spearman and the pricey, but hard as nails, De5/phalanx/ensnare pike armed Dogs of War - but orcs no longer have longax!
Chaff and layering will have to do instead, along with hitting him first

Longax! I was looking for those.
I think the Amborax will be of more use than the drum. Something to weaken qtuff before they hit me.
Let’s try it out.
Ax hordes seem pretty meh compared to the comparatively great Riftforged Legionaries hordes. If you cut the lonely Ambarox you could upgrade the hordes (and leave the Ax regs as scenario pieces), and then if you drop the Shroud of the Saint that gives you the points for some Orclings to be chaff. Plus 10 points (Tear for the Orclings seems smart, helps against shattering looking to waver them out).

Riftforged legionaries are better, although they don’t buff the godspeaker (and less importantly can’t be given the WC command)

Ahhhhh ok, missed that. Kinda dumb (as are the two different wizards) but cool that the Ax are doing something besides being cheap Nv.
