Put them where the fight matters
Black Orcs are better armoured than Orc Boyz. Place them against the enemy's best infantry or at the point you want to break, and let cheaper Greenskins fill the rest of the line.
They are still infantry. Keep an eye on enemy cavalry looking for their flanks and on artillery that can grind down a slow, valuable regiment.
Where they come from
Black Orcs belong to the core Greenskin roster from the original Total War: Warhammer and need developed Orc recruitment buildings.
Grimgor Ironhide is himself a Black Orc warboss, which makes them a natural centrepiece of his armies, but every Greenskin faction with the right buildings can recruit them.
A Greenskin horde around them
Orc Boyz and Night Goblins provide numbers, while Black Orcs give the horde a regiment that can hold against heavier troops.
Grimgor, Azhag, Wurrzag, Skarsnik, Grom and Gorbad each lead Greenskin campaigns. Snagla Grobspit adds a Legendary Hero for Spider Rider armies.
