Hey welcome to the brewery

 

Because I have the Orc book and have a small force of them, I can hopefully help you here (Even though I have never played them)

 

The lord if definitely a good choice, but against a horde list of savage Orcs, you may want to replace the Rune of fortitude with a Rune of fury and give him a shield instead of a GW weapon becausee then he will go before the savages and will hopefully be able to kill off some before they get to go.

 

Master engineer:Great

 

Runesmith: Great Although I think you should swap the Runes of Iron for a second spellbeaker (Also he has the same Runic armor combination as the Thane)

 

Thane BSB: Great although I think you should maybe give him a master Rune of GOE instead

 

Quarrellers: Good choice

 

Warriors: I think replacing the GW weapons and giving then shields would be better as savages can be quite nasty in combat

 

Hammerers: Great although Ironbeakers could be better against your opponents list

 

Artillery: Great (Give the organ guns different Runic combos)

 

Miners: Maybe not, I think you should replace them with another Runesmith, or get more of them

 

Overall good list the saveges can be scary especially if your opponent gets crazy lucky with 6+ ward saves in combat at S 3 or 4 they can't hit to hard but being frenzied and/if they have AHW they can cause allot of damage with their ridiculous number of attacks, which is why I recommended Ironbreakers and shield warriors.

I agree with a lot of what Hero of Rome is saying - however I actually think you'll need some great weapons against Orcs. They have toughness 4 so it'll be good to have strength 5 (or 6). Stick a rune of Burning on the second Organ Gun to make it unique!

Thank for the insight, going to renovate my list and post back. My reasoning for miners is that I know he's gunna have a few warmachines and I don't want my artillery to stop shooting at the orks. Cause he like bragging his list. I know he's taking 2 hordes of 40 savages and 60 black savages with 10 boars with boar lord in there which are gunna be nuts to try and kill and the grey weapons will let me kill a lot as hitting str5 or 6 instead of 3/4 which might not do a lot against his T 4/5. And thank for remonding forgo you can't have 2 copies o same gear

Also should I be aiming more for a stoic and armoured army to withstand the attacks and try to wittle him down more than Killy army? Although he has so many guys with so many attacks. Maybe getting him to charge an armoured unit, then flank him with some Great Weapons. Also to only reason I don't really want to put than one runesmith in is cause their general thing is spell breakers and AP, but he has not armour really. That's for input. All help is awesomely appreciated.

It all depends on how you like to play for example if you can wreck the savages with your Organ guns and Grudge thrower GW would be good to finish them of. However If you ficus down his artillery and cav than shields could be good 

 

Anyway in the end only you can decide what you are going to have in your list.

Well I was thinking of shooting up the savages as much as I can, miners come on the flank and start munching warmachines, maybe a cannon shot or 2 to help and try an buy some time with gyros redirecting the block and cooking a few guys. Then take a charge as he will get it most likely and then try to flank with a couple units

That seems like a good plan
