This week I played my first ever game using the Nomadic Orcs list. Played Rowlybot who was using Daemons. I used Beastmen, Marauders & Kislev Horse Archers minis as proxies. My list was General, 4 heroes, 2 shaman, 3 boars, 6 wolf riders, 3 chariots, 2 giants, and 1 squigs.
I lost fairly badly. The army struggled to get off the deployment line due to Orc command. So very static rather than ranging across the steppes! And the 9 wolf units were incredibly squishy. My first impression is that either this army needs to be allowed more heavy cavalry (perhaps 1 unit of boars for every 1 unit of wolf/spider riders) or it needs something like a no distance command modifier.
Has anyone else ever used the list and have opinions on it? Perhaps it is a decent list and I just played it poorly?

My steppe hordes are proxied of Kislev....... that kinda fixes all the issues you have ;-)

And there I was thinking it was my brilliance as a general with a keen eye for tactics and strategy.
But no, I have to agree with Empireaddict - whilst the daemons are no pushovers the Nomads really seemed to struggle. More so than I would have thought. As a fan list I think it's fallen into the trap of not wanting to be seen as an overpowered list and the author(s?) may have inadvertently handicapped the army instead.
