If I may make a suggestion army painter sprays are probably going to be your friend here. A nice can of green colored primer+wash, pick out some details and you'll have a green tide worthy of Gork/Mork.

"When you put your green tide on the army table...."

And my opponent starts making phone calls telling his wife and kids that "No, the 2-3 hour wargame just became 5 or 6"

You realize that you just made your movement and assault phase last as long as most other games take to do an entire game turn

GW smiles a bit inside realizing they made a bunch of Ork players buy even more boyz who they intend to nerf in the next edition/codex

You can't find your painboy because he is the same color as the boyz and then find out turn 1 that you left him in front of the mob...Doh!

I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you mess with me, I'll kill you all

How the feth could you dislike the orks? I like them.

Sure, GW nerfed some of the units into next Tuesday, but overall, I think they're still good.

But then again, it's a matter of opinion, right?

You're mistaking Orcs for Orks. Whose dis Tolkein git?

@OP GreenTide rocks. Ask your opponent to help you move models, do your run move at the same time, etc. Anything to speed up the game and interact with the opponent. Beer and pretzels help too.

Anyone who is against playing GreenTide isn't a propa greenskin player anyway

I do paint a little bit :p. Just isn't easy for me yet.

We were playing emperors will.

I stopped taking pictures because the game ended abruptly on the top of three. He didn't bring in the termies on turn two and I guess he expected the bikes on one side of the table to tarpit the tide while his bikes on the other side drove around to challenge grots and trukk units minding my objective. We added the consolidate from turn two plus move run assault distances and the multi assault covered everything so we assumed a tabling and started cleaning up.

Honestly when you combine the move and run and your opponent helps you move it is not really soo bad.

100 bodies of Orks on the table! 100 bodies of Orks! Shoot some down, pass 'em around...99 bodies of Orks on the table!

Seriously, the Green Tide is hilarious in what it can make players do. Sadly, as many Ork players have found out, there are armies out there that can wipe a Gree Tide off the table from sheer weight of shooting. It just takes about three turns.

It's nothing to really do with the units and stuff, it's just something about them that puts me off. I truly want to like them, as there are a lot of things I can find interesting about them, but there are generally as many bad things that put me off from them in terms of models and fluff.

I'll pluck you like a flower.
