I managed to get my second game of 8th Edition in, a smaller sized battle against Tyranids. In the future I'll be doing video reports as well as written but the smaller size lends itself better to just a written report.

You can check out the game here.

I agree, Nobz are the way to go for Speed Freakz. I just don't think Ork Transports are particularly good, hopefully someone can prove me wrong. :]

The weird thing is it feels like foot Orks get there just as fast as Speed Freaks. Obviously a Trukk is faster but with Advancing + Charging + Rerolls I've been consistently in combat on Turn 2 against gunlines. Now obviously that exposes me to shooting but I have more guys at the same time. The extra bit from vehicles can net you a bit more action on a flank but it depends.

Orks biggest weakness just seems like armor, I can't find any good solutions. They can kill T7 Tanks pretty well if they get there with a mob but T8 is really, really hard.
