Welcome to what is probably the oldest Orcs & Goblins site on the net
that is still being updated. The idea behind this site is to provide a resource for
both useful and amusing articles on my beloved greenskins. Having gone through
several complete make-overs, We Iz Orcs has a wealth of material for your
benefit and entertainment.
I'm Avian. What my friends call me is another matter. I like stomping on
stunties, drinking squiggly beer and kicking grots. Having expanded from my
originally greenskins-only symphaties, visitors to this site may now come across
Ogre Kingdoms articles here and there.
Updated every now and then.
Last update: 080520

Updates
080520
In the regular update I have added a tactica for greenskin elite infantry, which is to say Black Orcs and Big 'Uns on foot. I have also fixed some quite major bugs in the combat simulator, which should now actually work. Additionally, I have added functionality for mounts.
080515
A quick update: I have cobbled together a combat simulator that actually fights a round of combat between two units one thousand times and displays the results.

The series of campaign articles continues with an update of our local Mighty Empires variant and a little article on how to generate a random map using the Mighty Empires rules. Next week should see the final campaign article in a while and then it will be a bit of tactics.
Copying the things on my page
I generally prefer that people write their own stuff, or that they submit articles to websites. I am not so fond of copying articles from other sites, as I prefer each site to consist of original content. That being said you may usually copy them onto your web pages provided that:
- You get my permission first. I like to know where my things end up.
- You do not change it in any way (except changing the colors, background and font).
- You provide a link to my page somewhere on your site.
The only things that I do not like people to copy is the tactics, which I consider to be in a permanent state of "work in progress". I would much rather that you linked directly to the articles here at my site, instead of copying them.
If you wish to copy articles marked as belonging to someone else (for example Gnashfang Irontooth) you have to ask them first.
Thank you's
A big orcy 'fanx!' goes to:
- The now sadly deceased Portent - fer givin' We Iz Orcs a new home when we needed it.
- Gnashfang Irontooth (or Iain, as I tend to call him) - fer rescuing an impressive ammount of stuff when the previous host went down in That Tragic Incident In November.
- All our visitors
If you enjoy this site, why not vote for it at Warvault.net?
On the other hand: All da boyz send their warmest "May you get Nurgle's Rot!" to the following:
- GWUniverse.com - for causing That Tragic Incident In November.
- Toshiba - for being part in That Tragic Incident In November and losing me 4 Gigs of data.
