Orks: approx 4000 pts Uruk-hai force(700 pts) about 700 points of Vampire Counts
Also littlenibbler Orks aren't about armour saves.
Orks are about having too many models on the table, and wasting the other guy's time with your movement phase.
Orks are about having the toughest units on the table.
Orks are about not caring about how many bodies are left in a long winding trail until the squad is down to less than a third its starting strength.
Orks are about rolling more dice then you can count without the aid of a calculator or a pen and paper.
Orks are about having totally fething insane characters tearing gak down like Doc Grotsnik, Ghazghkull or Snikrot.
Orks are about being too fething awesome to die...
They are not fighting Fists, but they are included in the movie somewhere (besides those dead guys in the trailer). There is overwhelming evidence for Chaos Space Marine being the enemy. This evidence includes that one storyboard, Abnett referencing a "huge beast" that throws someone (Which army has large beasts that actually have hands, class?) and the blip about the facial capture tech (used for the Marines AND the baddies; that excludes Orks, Tyranids, Necrons, Tau and Eldar). Plus, one of the 3-4 Marines that dies in the trailer is getting thumped with a thunder hammer.

The bit about the beast...
http://ultramarinesthemovie.com/expo-transcript "It’s very entertaining watching the actors doing death scenes, just straight to camera with no other props. With one particular character, [the actor] was meant to be picked up by a beast, thrown 60 feet in the air..."
The TH...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOXz10znAKc&feature=player_embedded This one is super hard to see. The dying starts at 1:10. The first shot is flamer guy getting hit in the arm, the for a split second you can see the guy get whacked with the hammer. Directly after him is the headshot.

also when you see the impaled IF, is that like a chaos eight pointed star behind them maybe?

well for sure the hammer part shows us that its not tyranids, necrons, tau or eldar it still could be orks (improvised hammer), and the face technology could just be the space marines, but i do really think it will be CSM vs SM.

Avatar used facial capture rigs for the actors portraying alien "huminoids" so I don't see why it wouldn't work on all but the 'nids (maybe the necron as they don't seem to smile much). Also I would love to see something other than marines fighting alongside marines against (chaos) marines.

Reasons for not working.
Orks: Humans look nothing like them. We don't have huge lower jaws, tusks, little piggy eyes and no nose.
Tau: Humans look nothing like them. We don't have flat faces and no nose.
Necrons: Humans look nothing like them. We don't have skull-shaped heads with unchanging expressions.
Eldar: Well, humans look something like them. But fluff-wise they are often described as being human-like but still extremely different (facial feature size, ect.)
Remember, the Na'vi's faces looked quite human, apart from the cat ears and noses.
@Ordo Dakka: Yeah, what about 'Zerkers? Also, yes, it is always Orks, except when it is not. In this case, it is not.

I dunno how people can be excited about this after seeing the video. *shudder*
As for the topic, I agree with Orks if they allow lots of blood etc. Lets face it, the movie will be a low rating so kiddies can see it. So, they will have to fight some sort of alien or robot.
Edit: as for facial animation, its always kept at a minimum anyway for 3D films. The only mob that actually add this properly is Pixar and the mob that made Ice Age. So, Necrons have a good chance in my opinion. My money is on Chaos though. GW love selling their space marine armies.

I would say the facial animation for orks won't be a problem. Orks only really have one facial expression that they use 99% of the time, that is the "THIS IS SPARTA" face only with more teeth and red eyes.
It is the 41st millennium, a savage and grim dark future when mankind battles for survival in a galaxy riven by bloodshed and destruction. Humanity teeters on the brink of extinction, assailed on all sides by the most grievous enemies - aliens, mutants and traitors. Only the colossal numbers of the Imperial Guard and the indomitable strength of the Space Marines, genetically-enhanced elite warriors of superhuman power and devastating ability, can offer any defence. Of all the ancient and venerable chapters of Space Marines, the Ultramarines are arguably the most powerful, most respected and most fearless. Pure of purpose and loyal to the Emperor, the Ultramarines are regarded as the most driven and strict, the most disciplined and courageous of Space Marine chapters.
Captain Severus, a revered veteran warrior with a considerable reputation, has received an urgent request for assistance from the remote backwater planet Mithron. Mithron has only one site of strategic importance, a shrine defended for countless generations by a full company of Space Marines from the Imperial Fists Chapter. What dreadful fate could have overcome them that they ask for help?
Leaving the bulk of his company on Algol to prosecute the war against the nightmarish Tyranids, Severus sets off for Mithron with only a ten-man squad for support. Ultima Squad is a raw, untrained band of battle brothers, all recently promoted from the ranks of Space Marine Scouts and thirsting for glory. Mithron will be their first taste of action as fully fledged Ultramarines. Severus, with his sergeant Crastor and his apothecary Pythol, knows they’ll need to keep a careful watch on the recruits.
On the tough and unforgiving surface of Mithron, Ultima Squad discovers that a terrible battle has taken place. The shrine has been attacked, and some great evil has been unleashed. As unseen dangers close in around them, the recruits have to mount a tense and deadly insertion to find any surviving Imperial Fists, and the reason behind the distress beacon.
For ambitious new recruits Proteus and Verenor, competitors for their captain’s approval, the reality of the task ahead becomes clear. They want a glorious first taste of combat as fully fledged Space Marines to prove they are worthy of selection. But this mission is a savage fight for survival and, if the Ultramarines fail, events on Mithron will threaten the fate of millions of densely populated Imperial worlds starting with their fortress home of Macragge...
so that means chaos for sure AND maybe tyranids!!!

As much as I'm looking forward to this movie, that synopsis doesn't sound great.
For example: An entire fething *company* of marines goes, "We need help guys!" so the ultramarines send in 1 tactical squad of rookies?
Also, why is one squad made entirely of rookie marines + Sgt, I thought they would have been dispersed amongst existing squads so they have Battle Brothers to actually learn from, rather than a baby sitter.
Pretty sure Space Marines don't do garrison work. Unless it's their home world. And Mithron certainly isn't the Fists homeworld. And then, a whole company? That's Guard work, not Space Marine work.
That said, it doesn't sound too bad for a movie that might introduce people to the hobby. I just wish they'd release a trailer that doesn't look like complete gak to get us hyped.

They are probably guarding somthing of great importance, somthing Chaos wants its hands on. That is why they are doing garrison work. Do you realy think Dan abnett would write a medicore story for the very first 40k film ever made?

A spiritu dominatus,
Domine, libra nos,
From the lighting and the tempest,
Our Emperor, deliver us.
Lets not kid ourselves. We will all see it whether it is good or not. Might as well run with what we got.
Sure, maybe some day Peter Jackson and Industrial Light and Magic will pair up and do something...most likely not so lets enjoy what we get.
I do hope for Chaplin(s) and a Dread. Thats just me.
If they fight Chaos than cool but not if they make them all pointed teeth and silly sounding than no thanks. Pure evil is intelligent...other wise they would destroy them selves so lets represent that.
800 brethren and 2,000 other personnel were expected to reach Crows World within no more than 12 hours. They never arrived.
Let the Bell toll for those that encounter us, not for what we have encountered!

I just find it very unlikely that they would put all the work into a move just to release it only for a limited time and only on their site, it just seems like it would be a stupid decision.
