If you want any help on this matter, I believe you should...

• Change the topic name to something clearer
• have it moved to the tactics section of the forum

Orkz are fun..but a challenging army to play...

I'd recommend checking out the Dakka forums for the best info.

I have the fortune of knowing two Ork players, one's my roommate, and the other learned warhammer the same time I did. Having played both of them extensively in smallish games, I can tell you that Orks can bring some interesting challenges to the table. There are going to be a lot of powerfists in that army, and they will do damage, as they are typically hidden in a squad with tons of boyz. Trukks, Stormboyz and Warbikes are major threats, as they are the only things in the Ork army with the speed to get the jump on your troops. As an opponent, I can tell you that an Ork charge is one of the worst things to allow to happen to your army.

I consider the main weaknesses to be poor initiative, poor armor, poor leadership, and poor shooting. When you play Orks, you play to get the charge with as many boyz as you can keep alive. The elite CC units of your opponent can mess your boyz up, so you'll need the mob rule to keep you fearless, allowing you to swarm them.

I'd recommend Da Waaagh! over Dakka Dakka, or, in fact over pretty much any 40K forum except this one. As far as I'm concerned it's the place to go for Ork info. Great bunch of folks over there, too.

I've watched a green tide roll towards me....And courtesy of a hellhound, vanquisher, and a leman russ, I've stopped the trukks in their trakks.
Eheheh, see how I used the Ks there? Very orky!
But no, seriously, Orks can be brutal, especially on the charge with the stormboyz. I've had situations where I've managed to dismount their units, but they still managed to be behind a line of stormboys, which made the stormboyz a priority target for my shooting...and yet they were able to keep enough around to charge. You'd think that when I get a target annihilated result, all the orks in the truck would die, but I guess they didn't thanks to the ork truck rules.
Bah.
