Hey folks!

I've been lurking around for a year+ now, mostly in the army list sections, and I troll pretty much every ork army list that makes it into the forums with extensive critiques, changes, fixes, tweaks, tactical suggestions and advice....if I collated everything I've written together, it would be a ludicrously sized book.

I just browsed through the Ork tactica articles and realized that the reason so many army lists look so poorly assembled is because of the...middling advice in the tactics articles. "Hey! Combine a squad of Lootas with a Looted Wagon for great results!" Among many other treasures and advice I'd never consider sound.

I'd like to create my own Ork tactics article, in my own style, with my own advice about how to create an ork army, or mesh units together into a theme, and what works and what doesn't. I hit the "create a new article" button, and it gave me a template, but I don't know how to change colors, or work HTML, or anything else.

What I'd LIKE to do is to create the data-stream/data-dump: IE, I write the tactica article and someone volunteers to turn it into a sectioned, pretty, forum-savvy article.

Anyone willing to donate themselves to the cause of the great Waaaugh?

The article system is really pretty easy to get the hang of. I can help you with it if you want. Feel free to get started in a thread if that will be easier for you.

I'd be willing to make a series of posts in this thread and then PM you when I'm done if you'd be willing to turn them into an article (pretty and formatted) if that's ok?

sure

I can't wait to read the article. I read a lot of your posts in the past while fine tuning my tau army and you really opened up my eyes to some great ideas.

Yeah, this should be good. Maybe I can start winning games with my Orks now!
