Gul'dan's Horde invades Themyscira
The entire Orc Horde from Warcraft (so not just the expeditionary force) invades the island of the Amazons.
Can they conquer it, or will the immortal warrior women push them back?
Round 1:
Gul'dan sends Blackhand to lead the invasion.
Round 2:
Gul'dan leads the invasion himself.

The Orcs prevail in both rounds.

Let's say she is there for round 2, when Gul'dan is directly involved.
Also, remember, while the Orcs are an extremely dangerous force to meet in close combat, they have one pretty large disadvantage against the Amazons. The Amazons have a fairly large number of archers in their ranks, whereas the Orc army's ranged combat capabilities are virtually nonexistent.

Last I checked, Themyscira has plenty of horses lying around

They still have shields.
Gul'dan would likely drain WW's soul...
The Orcs stomp.

Yeah but archers can only do so much. When you're talking about entire armies then unless the Amazons are already behind fortifications their archers can only thin the orc ranks for a bit before the orcs close ranks.
An arrow is normally only effective till 250m. That's a distance that orcs can cover in short time then the archers can no longer shoot without endangering their own. They could probably use Mongolian tactics where they shoot and run away on horses but I got the feeling that that wasn't how they fought.

Fair enough. Do you think Diana can make a difference in round 2? She could wreck pretty much any of the Orcs 1-on-1. And her bracelet bash could probably down several Orcs at once. Only one who could really pose a threat to her is Gul'dan himself IMO. I think it would be a question of whether she could close the distance on him to cut him down before his Fel magic could weaken her enough for him to kill her. Because the magic seems to vary in effectiveness from person to person. Durotan seemed to require much more draining than any other Orcs did, for example, though even if he didn't die instantly, it also did visibly weaken him every time Gul'dan hit him with it.
