Only orks have man-portable ordinance cannon that generate unstable wormholes Orks rock

If you roll a 11 or 12 its remove from play, not str 12..

POOOP...srry, dont have the ork codex, and i played a dude once, who lied apparently, but still, quite orky and awesome

Read the codex and main rule book before you buy anything.

Then, skim through the rule book and read the codex before you buy anything.

Go to the army list area here and see what orcs people are running and why.

Post some questions here.

Skim through the codex again and make a 1000, 1500, and 2000 point list.

Post them in the army area to get feedback.

Start buying stuff. Build it. Paint it. Enjoy!

k, but I really wanted to buy a mega armoured nob this weekend

go ahead and buy it then, chances are you will end up using it.

Thanks wolfie! Mega armour is just so cool and big!

Calm down :0)

Mega Armour is cool. I would love a plastic 5 meganobz box withall the options though, as the metal ones add up a bit to field a decent sized unit..

plastic mega nobz would be amazing

OK. breath, breath... I'm back! Could I get a size comparison between a boy and a nob?

20-40 boyz

Ghazzy
Big mek with kk
10 lootas/burna boyz

You might also enjoy adding a trukk or two. Trust me, the Meganobs would love it. If you get Burnaboyz, they would, too, I think. However, I can't complain re: your choices here. Looks like a very good goal to aim for.

re: The Codex, just to mention this - if you want to play but don't have it yet, you can play with the stats in the back of the Blackreach Rulebook. Is it better to have the Codex? Yes. But if it is a matter of money and a matter of playing or not playing, you can definitely play without it. In fact, especially if your opponent is also new to the game, you can get LOADS of enjoyment using only what's in the Black Reach Box. May as well start with that and have a few weeks of fun before worrying too much about your next addition.

On the other hand if you have the $$ and the inspiration, feel free to pick up a little something extra. And if you are inspired to paint, go for it! I strongly suggest getting hints on how to paint from this forum before you start out. It will make your life a LOT easier and the process more enjoyable once you have some of the basics down. Feel free to PM me, Solorg, if you want. As an Ork Player I'd love to see you get off to a good start - and with your enthusiasm, I'd say you are nicely on your way.

WAAGGHH!
Solorg

Thanks aggaaainnn solorg!
