Well they're a Chaos faction .That usually means curbstompy godness .

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...
Lets settle this in the arena http://pantsformer.mybrute.com |

Warriors of Chaos are based on elite Warrior infantry and cavalry (elite being synonomous with expensive, points-wise) and somewhat less expensive Marauders. The trick is, you often get outnumbered, both unit-to-unit and in overall number of units, making the move phase more difficult. WoC also almost totall lacks any shooting, so there's another phase you're going to have a hard time with. You can do well in magic, but wizards are expensive which means you have even less troops, leaving you even more outnumbered...
But once you hit Close Combat you will destroy everything you touch. That is the strength of WoC.
When I go up against WoC with a CC list, I just plain loose.  If I have a mobility or shooty list I can take care of business okay, and my magic lists can usually do their share, but in CC there is no beating WoC... short of Daemons.

They also have some of the funniest things in WHFB, such as Infernal puppet and the hellcannon.
And Kholek Suneater.
And Core troops with 2 attacks S4 and 3+ Armour save. Somewhat expensive, but who cares.
Oh, and did I mention Infernal puppet? What can be better than modifying the miscasting?

Warriors of Chaos can play some super aggressive, very punishing combat lists. They're damn decent at magic as well.
More importantly, do you like the army? Will you enjoy modeling and painting the force? Are there some models you absolutely love in the list?
I find that the latter factors might have quite a bit more with how much one commits to the army their building, and thus, the enjoyment they derive from it.
