Something to point out that I enjoyed was the camaraderie among ork players now that the codex is weaker. The only players left really like orks. When I showed up at nova, I put my stuff down, quickly went to the bathroom, and when I got back every ork player at the tournament was waiting for me! It was really really awesome. I didn't say anyone showing up with centstar and people excitedly walking over and going "Space marines! no way! me too!"

I've noticed that too! I was painting some Orks in the GW the other day and this guy noticed and came up and said 'hey you collect Orks too!'. We showed each other pictures of our respective conversions (saw a killer IK Orkified) and when I next go back home (currently in term-time) I'm really looking forward to meeting the guy again.

Can't say the same for SM or any other 'power race'.

'Oh what chapter? Ultramarines. Cool'.

The only thing I've seen that comes close (but not quite) to the camaraderie that Ork players have is IG, but then we've got DKOK and Elysian players who have that, gunline IG don't really interact with each other.

Dark Eldar, Orks are the worst thing about 40k
