So I picked up a pack of AD&D Hobgoblins of Dragonspear in a lot of misc minis on Ebay -  Looking at a Orc/Goblin army and thinking of basing these as WB. With 13 of them that will make 3x3WB and a 4WB. Any other thoughts as to their best use? Other than putting them up for sale - sellers seem to think fairly highly of AD&D packs... |

I'd base them as blade, maybe 3 x 3Bd and a 4Bd or a Hero (the leader plus standard bearer). I like my orcs to be mostly hordes with a few blades, (warg)riders and maybe a behemoth.
Cheers,
Euan

That is probably a bit more appropriate - was thinking of impetuosity and a lesser staying power, but as modeled they would be a bit underrated as WB.
And as 3BD they will still be on 20s - a bit large for 15s.
I have 30 mostly old Ral Partha orcs for the HDs and some Black Raven archers that will be BW. That and some trolls for the Behmoths - haven't settled on the mounted yet.
Command and wizard from Black Raven as well. Nearing a 72 pointer - club likes that for tourneys.

@gorangrad - those are great sculpts!
Ral Partha has returned, in case you haven't seen the Kickstarters in the past three years. Even got Tom Meier to redo some of his classic RP sculpts. If you want more orcs/goblins, they sell them on their website ralpartha.com.
The revised Chaos Wars rules are fun too!

Fast Blades is a good option for "Big Orcs".
Warband (Fast) for "wild orcs".
Ps (fast) for Goblin archers.
Horde for massed Goblins.
