Heya folks, new to 40K! Infact I've never played one yet lol. Looking into the different armys and looking for something fun and not too difficult to get my teeth into, I was hoping to hear what folks think of the Orks as a starting army? their strengths and weaknesses? Or can folks recommend a different army?

Also what units I should get as a good start, ^^
Cheers doods and nice to meet!

"Though we face the power of hell, and death is at our side, we fear not, for the Emperor is with us through it all. If we live, we live for the Emperor. If we die, we die for the Emperor.

bah! Who needs orks?! Tyranids are where its at!
lol jks, orks are a pretty hard starting army for some as
the sheer number of figs you have to paint can be quite daunting, but, each to his own, if you think you can, you probs
will be able to, if you put your mind to it.

Hey
Welcome to Dakka!
Orks are a pretty good starting army thanks to AoBR. You can pick up figures on the cheap (especially on Ebay) and they are a really good laugh to use.

Welcome to Dakka!

My suggestion for someone just starting (especially those that want Orks and SM) is the starter set. You get a ton of stuff and can start practicing the game with someone right away.
