Hi guys,

I’m just getting to grips with 40k and want to put together an Ork Army, but I don’t have much spare cash so keen to only buy units that will be worthwhile on the battlefield.

I’m really torn between Evil Sunz (easily the best Kulture in the new Codex but EVERYBODY will be using them) and Death Skullz (love their colour scheme). My gut says to go with my favourite the Death Skullz, but I don’t want to cripple myself when gaming. It’s no fun loosing every match!

Are there any competitive Death Skullz lists? Or should I go and buy plenty of red paint and enjoy krumpin’ my foes?

Thanks for helping out the clueless!

It entirely depends on how you want to play. Deathskulls are good for a brigade since basically every kind of units can benefit from their bonuses. Evil sunz are about charging in turn 1 and that's it, with shooty units that don't benefit at all. Many players choose them because they're very easy to play.

At competitive levels I'd suggest a Deathskulls brigade or dobule Battallion with Evil Sunz and Bad Moons.

Deffskullz all infantry have objective secured not just troops, they all have an invun save, plus each squad gets a reroll on hit wound And multi damage, and there specific tactic is good i an ork army giving shred against vehicles. Where as da sunz get extra movement and a one trick tactic.

I'd say the Deffskulls tactic, relic and stratagem is more competitive in a mono list than Evil Sunz by quite a margin.

If you want to make the most competitive list you will probably take both though, Evil Sunz tellyporting/da jump/fast T1 or T2 threats and Deffskulls core.

Personally I'd always choose the rule of cool when building an army.

Just build what you like and make it work.
