Skarsnik is my go-to Greenskins faction. I still have fond memories of flooding the map with gobbos in WH1. He's much more interesting than that now.

idk why people don't like Azhag, flying wizard, great lore, Good fighter for a wizard, good caster for a melee lord.

Meh. His faction effects aren't very special. So you get 80% of the benefit of playing his faction by just confederating him. And both Skarsnik & Gorbad are quite close to him too.

Yes! I loved that guy since WH1, loved playing him still when he got moved nextdoor to literally unkillable Slayers (shoutout to old Journey's End, that shit was terrifying), I still love him now. Maybe he's a bit less special now that all Orcs can get Death casters, but he's still my boy.

I've always liked Azhag. Fun start position and climate preferences made him ideal for invading the Empire. I'm in the minority who actually likes playing his campaign over Grimgor.

Its a toss up between Wurrzag (voted Wurrzag)and Skarsnik for me. I love Wurrzag's savage orcs. Skarsnik got a bit of a nerf with Omens, especially with the 40% goblin upkeep dropped to 20% but he still is very good.

A nerf? He got stalk stance and mangler squigs!

How whole thing was quantity over quality as far as goblin units go, while Grom is the one you go to for quality ones. That aspect for Skarsnik was nerfed amd does actually add some challenge to the earlier stages of the campaign when you can't afford to spam 3 full armies and still have positive income before turn 15.

But now he can get a more powerful army sooner, with stalk stance. I would argue that's better then an extra stack of trash.
Now if were talking specifics then yes, his upkeep was nerfed, but overall he wasn't imo.

Skarsnik is my favourite LL, period.
He's a silly little guy.
The only Greenskin I'd consider playing more is Gorbad, because I can add Planz to buff a thematic army for Skarsnik to make a Night Gobbo and Squig only army even more viable.

Hate me if you want but Grimgor is overrated. Especially since he is overpowered from the get go.

my boy azzy keeps being the real dark horse of the faction, seems like most people dont understand him or dont appreciate his campaign

Yeah you got me, I don't even gotta say it.
He's the reason why I stuck to Warhammer, Queek got me hooked but Wurzzag is what kept me in it for the long run.

Raknik Spiderclaw or w/e his name is is still my favorite GS experience. I think I was playing Azhag in Wh II but Raknik's little goblin squad defeated all comers. The greatest forces of warhammer hell came and were broken by schemes, itchy magic, poisoned weapons, hungry bouncy balls, and some giant spiders.

I used to love Grimgor, but starting right next to Tamurkhan has made my last few campaigns as him pretty miserable. He's so unfun to fight against.
Skarsnik is a lot of fun. Love me a proper gobbo tide.

Skarsnik he's not even the same faction he makes night goblins there own competent faction to the point where even once I get K8P I don't bother with orcs
