So I was wondering if a ork swarm army would work and by ork swarm I'm thinking a lot of boyz and that mad dok so they all have cybork bodys

Problem with cyborking regular boyz....... is for 1pt more, you get an additional boy.

If 'cyborking' was better than 5++, maybe things would be different.

I agree with OrkseNevaLooz. For 1 more point you get another boy. For 1 point less they get a 4+ save instead of a 5++ save.

From my experience, it's more effective having more bodies than to upgrade normal boyz.

For example:
Max Squad of 30 Boyz (no special weapons) with cyborks is around 330pts. Without using cyborks, you can include another whole unit of 25boyz which equate to 25 more wounds and 50-100 extra attacks depending on the situation of the assault phase and gear. All that without changing the points.

The 5++ save will statistically save 1/3 of the inflicted wounds. In a 30 boy squad, this comes to about 10 saved wounds.

Yep for 170 points you could add 2 KFF's which would achieve the same goal but for most if not all of your army.

Ok thanks for your help
