Class Information
Archetype: Tank
Special Mechanic: Brawling
Class Details: Black Orcs love a good brawl, and always manage to get into the thick of them. Their onslaught of attacks allow Black Orcs to press forward into the fray with a continuous flow of strikes, unlocking more abilities with each successive blow.
Combat for a Black Orc revolves around engaging and defeating enemies one at a time, while weathering the fire of their allies. As a front line fighter, the Black Orc is well equipped to withstand the attacks of his enemies. Though protected by shield and armor, and possessing a hearty constitution, his greatest strength lies in his ability to disable his primary opponent. His use of jarring blows and unexpected attacks allow the Black Orc to exploit the openings they create to reduce the enemy’s ability to fight back.
Career Masteries
Black Orcs love a good brawl, and are always the first ones to charge into the hectic chaos of combat. Over enough generations, this has ensured that the only surviving Black Orcs are the toughest of the tough and the meanest of the mean, resulting in a group known for their brutality and sturdiness even among other Greenskins.
Black Orcs are master tacticians, and brilliant combat fighters without intellectual peer among the Greenskins, for they can actually formulate and follow a detailed and complex battle plan. Some warriors of other races have been known to occasionally point out that a Black Orcs plans somehow seem to consist of nothing more than progressing from “Hit im!” to “Oi, es still standing, hit im again!”, and then back to “Him im!” again…but theyre careful not to sound mocking or dismissive, for in the hands of a Black Orc, such a plan is crushingly effective.
Path Of Da Brawler
A master of this path believes that the best way to win a fight is through choppin the other guy into little pieces quickly. He scoffs at the thought of using a shield, since that just makes it harder to swing a massive Big Choppa around, and he doesnt need anything getting between him and his choppin!
Path Of Da Toughest
A specialist in this path sees the wisdom in using a massive shield and taking care to defend himself against attacks – after all, while choppin is grand fun, living through the fight so that he can do some more choppin later is an appealing prospect as well.
Path Of Da Boss
If there’s one thing that an Orc Boss can do better than anyone, its yelling at those who aren’t as big as him. A specialist in this path has had long practice at yelling, shouting, and encouraging his group to fight onward and be strong – although its still a point of military debate whether the Orcs allies are actually inspired to press forward and fight, or whether there simply trying to get the Orc to stop his deafening bellows and reeking breath.
