Hey all, new to the forum and the hobby. Been a WH40k fan forever; love the fluff, novels and video games, but never had the time or money before to actually try out the TT game. Happily circumstances change and I'm ready to build the Waaaugh! I've always dreamed of

Which is a great segue to my first board question:

Planning to buy an Ork Battleforce. Are the boyz sprues in this set similar to AoBR (basically no options) or are they like the standard boyz box (lots of options)? Would the boyz in the battleforce boxes give me enough options to setup my guys any way I want, or should I supplement that with stardard boyz boxes too?

Thanks all in advance!

Welcome to Dakka! Orkz is great fun, and dey is da best at krumpin stuff! But in all seriousness, I say buy the battleforce and fill out that with more boyz! Its a great deal, and definitely gives you options, though I don't remember if its selection of bitz was that great. If worse come to worse, sell the stuff you don't want and buy more boyz! Also check out the Swap shop here to see if there is any good deals goin on.

Welcome! ANd yeah the orks in the battleforce are more customisable, and it's a great buy!

ORKZ ROCKZ!

Welcome to Dakka Dakka
Usually the Battle forces are just the individual sets that make them up put in a larger box.

Thanks for the warm greetings! Ok great, if the bitz options are just like the boyz boxes then I'll just go with the battleforce. I live in the Philippines so I have to plan out my purchases rather carefully.

And yeah orks is the bestest! I honestly think they're the HAPPIEST race in WH40k. They love to fight, so in a universe of total endless war they spend their entire lives doing what they love. KRUMPIN'!!!! Life for orks must be like an unending series of barroom brawls, drinking contests, and waking up hung-over ready to do it all again
