Well, Orks are a cheap horde list with various fixins. They're goofy and fun which is always good.

In terms of the metagame though, while Orks do have bad match-ups, they're also pretty far from a standard MEQ force and tend to have an easier time in some regards.

Yes, I have to paint a few hundred models......well, a few hundred models of drunked axe wielding maniacs, which is awesome, but I also don't really care if Urg gets fried with a plasma blast or Og gets a lascannon to the face.

I'm not the best player out there by any stretch, but the fact that my army is consistently entertaining and I don't have to worry about match-ups as much as I do with other armies is just nice.

For one round?

So for their cost they are still not as good as TH/SS terminators, Got it.

No, not as good a TH/SS terminators. Now, just can't have a unit nearly as good as the Ultramarines. No way GW would let their poster boy look bad.

I'd never underestimate the green tide. They're certainly competitive. However its hard to take them serious due to their sometimes silly fluff, which, in my opinion, is half the fun anyway!

But yes, green is best ya gits!

You play Salamanders and complain about TH/SS Terminators?
