    O&G are pretty tough at lower levels because they have such cheap spell casters. Heroes and lords are very cheap and they can spam them quite effectively. Even if they go with an all orc army, it still will be tough.

    Yes Old Blood, Cold One, Blade of Realities killed Giant Spider turn 1, that is about all I remember from that game.

    I can also tell you swarms are awesome for pulling out Fanatics.

    Salamanders are your friends. Toast some goblins and panic will take care of the rest.

    Actually, the NG can be extremely resilient if they have nets. The nets reduce your S by 1 so even saurus are wounding them on a 4+. Toss in getting hit by multiple blocks and even without the fanatics they can nerf your troops in short order. However, as Syltaryn indicated, a couple sallie templates will do wonders and if they are not within 12" of the general they are likely to run away.
