The price for a single lord DLC is a rip off now. They simple aren't worth the price tag. Most of these lords should be in the base game anyway. Its lazy and scummy

A completely unnecessary DLC for a race that was in an already great spot prior to its release. Gorbad adds nothing interesting to the Greenskins, neither does his campaign or the new units. Gorbad's campaign mechanic

Gorbad is my favorite Ork character and his new units are quite fun and awesome to play with. The only problem i have had with it is the presence of Black Orks with shields...those should have been RoR or a free-unit.
