What do YOU think?

Orks highest rank at BAO was 52nd... Coincidence?
Torrent of Fire said 'nids are dead center of the pack. Blood Angels still lack a codex. They'll feel the love soon.

Orks... With low Av, open topped transports, they are made of explodium. Thats about a 45% kill rate in the explosion. Then da Boyz are no longer immune to pinning fail that and another d6ish die there. Then that's your 25% in the shooting phase so let's just kill off another d6. Orks will stay at the bottom. Regarding the cheap guns... Try to keep those guys on the table after a morale check... Ld 5.

The armies mentioned had limited number of players I think, so data is unreliable. The chart is from torrent of fire and I believe is %wins per month.




That kid said GKs were weak?! Ugh. They're OP in my local meta....

I play Orks.... Nearly exclusively. Check my gallery if you doubt my experience w different Ork builds.

Pin the grots. One Wave Serpent knocks them out for a turn. An FMC or MC will make them book.

Here's my "experiment." smarty pants.

how about a biker painboy...

This year. Not my graph. Go to Torrent of Fire. The armies you mentioned were removed because their numerical power (sample size) was too small and was removed for clarity. IIRC.

The poll was a joke that I thought was funny. I was hoping I could make a one option poll, but couldn't. Not sure BA is that particularly bad as I got beat by them in my last tourney. GK are great IMO. Watching Skared Cast Battle Reports, I think Skari is kind of a ringer/ace at DE. He's been being handled lately by his opponents, but our doubles tourney came down DE and Tau on top. In retrospect, it was probably due to the Tau.... And more a reflection on them than DE. Tyranids are doing OK. Adeptus Sororitas can't be competitive or we'd see them popping up. Someone above mentioned MTS, but I'm not certain who they are talking about... Militarum Tempestus? I hope they suck, because that Grey Knight player just bought them and he beats me like a rented mule.

The Orks I think have the ability to excell at the Maelstrom missions, but the Eternal War ones will continue to be mostly beyond our reach.

My main issue with the codex, is that the most substantial change (Mob Rule) was a kind of a kick in the pants to mech Orks. There are great buffs, admittedly. Painboy ICs. 'ard Boyz for everyone! Cheaper buggies and Free rokkits for the poor! Those are awesome. But everything is purchased at a premium. But our troop choice (of choice) was increased in price. Lootas moved to heavy. Kans nerfed and more expensive. KFF nerf/buff (a wash).
