i like orks and so does my friend
what to do?

Team up and launch a proper WAAAGH!!! and stomp some 'Umies!

Okay joking aside, can you be more specific? are you thinking for army lists? Or how to play against an other Ork player?

cry?

Orks fight each other all the time according to the fluff, and I can't see any game-related issues with ork on ork fights either. Go for it both of you

There are many fun and powerful builds for orks. Just because you both play orks, doesn't mean your armies will resemble each other.

Ork on Ork violence is common - and fun. Ardboyz kick butt. Flamers are great (well - even better than usual) Lots of maneuvering to get the charge...(or the DeffRoll) and stickbombs are useful!! Lots of fun games to be had!

And here is the critical part...

Always, always, always get the charge. No matter what you play, it is the difference maker that you assault first before his boyz do.

There is no reason why you can't boh play, just stick to different color schemes and you will be fine. those tactic wise, go flamer heavy or even biker list.

Everything said so far is true. Putting a somewhat finer point on your question (that is to say any point ) will net you more helpful responses, methinks.

I agree with oadie.

I know a thing or two about Orks, but I don't know how to respond to the OP.

yes but perhaps you like Mork and he likes Gork. Or maybe you both like Gork but dont really like Mork and want to see who Gork likes better. Or maybe his warboss stole your favorite battlewagon after you left it on planet XX by accident. Or maybe his burna boys got carried away and burned down your lads huts. Or maybe he just looked at you wrong.

Ork mirror matches, and o&g mirror in WHFB, are some of the most fun that can be had in this game. Lots of models, lots of randomness, great looking, swirling melees, and comeplete chaos.

I also cant say there are too many ork players. There are too many MeQ players, too many BA, too many SW. I think just about every metagame I have been a part of would have been improved if there were more ork players.

Here's what you do when fighting other orks.

Take your grots, and put them out front, with your boyz behind them.

Now, he can't charge your boyz, only your grots, who will die, no biggie. But then your boyz get to charge his boyz, and with you having furious charge and him not, you'll destroy him.

In ork-on-ork fights, it's ALL about who gets the charge.

Yes. both of you should go for orks. we could use more in our ranks to have to mow through later after we finish off the 'umies.

Ork vs Ork is fun for the whole family. I mean whats better then rolling 30+ dice for attacks? Rolling 60+!!!!

And thats for a small mob. If you took 30 choppa boyz, youd get 116 attacks and 4 pk attacks. Ouch.

Bah! No two Ork armies should look alike. Figure out what you like and get more of those, then trade the stuff you don't like to your friend. Odds are very good that you'll end up loving different things. My brother loves looted wagons with boomguns and the SAG. I traded him all I had for Meganobz, which I love out of all proportion to their usefulness. I believe in Gork, where 'overkill' is just a panzy word that the humies made up because they couldn't find enough stuff to krump.

Running my boysless BW and MANZ list against 2 Green Tides was a blast in the last tournament I went in. Even those green tide armies were set up distinctly.

Ork against Ork? Hmm...off the top of my head I'd say use shootas, Orks only have t-shirt saves and they don't get them against the shoota's Str 4 AP 6. Also, don't forget to grab some burnas or fit some skorchas somewhere. The best thing I can see being put to use finally are stikkbombz, but don't equip every boy with it because it's too expensive. Stick to a stikkbomb chukka off of some trukks or BW's and you will ALWAYS get the charge since most Ork players try to take advantage of cover saves...
