Orc Skirmishers

A civilized army calls these light cavalry. Light cav are quick, mobile. First to harry but quick to retreat, drawing you into their trap. They live and die by their mounts, and form fierce bonds with their battle companions. Orcs approach it sideways. Half the time you can’t tell if the orc is riding the worg, or if they’re both trying to escape the other, and happen to be running in the same direction. Is that cleaver strike coming at me, or is he trying to put down his mount before it kills both of us? Is that worg lunging at our general, or bucking off its rider to get a bite in? I don’t know, and by all appearances, neither do they. Special Qualities: Mounted, Charging
