My friend plays orks and i wanted to know what would be better Eshin or Pestilins. he will be using a small number of gobbos. He will have mostly orks and black orks.

i'd say pestilens, because PCBs have a higher strength than anything eshin flavoured. and you need high strength to get through their toughness.

be nice to have something that doesn't wound on 5s lol.

well depends on whether you want a chalenge or not.

pestilens lists tend to be more the "run forth and smack shit" type. you wanna run forth and roll to hit, roll to wound and then work out how much you panned green skin ass? wash, rince, repeat?

or, play eshin and use your superior movement with otherwise average troops to do things, ninja style.

like the age old pirates vs ninjas debate. one is bad ass cus he has an eye patch, drinks rum and smacks stuff. the other is bad ass cus he's a ninja. ninjas pwn. end of story.

so yeah, pirates or ninjas?

Pestilens would probably work better, since they have a high number of attacks to get through the Orcs high toughness. Eshin wouldnt be as effective in this case because their Tunnelers would be fairly useless against choppy Orcs and Night Runner units couldnt stand up to an Orc unit. Censors would also rock against Orcs in the first round of combat with their 'flails'. The high toughness of the Monks would also negate the effectiveness of the Orcs choppa's to some degree...
Hope this helps :)

Ive played orcs, and you don't know how sucky it feels to charge in with choppas and get that extra strentght just to get 4+ to wound because your opponent got T4. Next round I wound your damn monks on 5+!
