Hi folks.

As my first foray back into warhammer, im going for a fairly small force to start with. 500pts. Bought a couple of units because I liked the style of them. And bought 1 unit because i think it has more opportunity for customising.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks

Orks are awesome, just got back into my Ork army.


Big shootas or rokkits hidden in your troop selections are quite useful, people dont expect those and they can kill stuff if your lucky with dice, i know points are limited to 500 but if you're building the models just keep it in mind for later on, and also think about if you ever want to use trucks as you can only fit 12 in them, so it might dictate eavy weapons etc.

a good early on unit is a weirdboy i find, especially using "Da Jump" and will help get some of your units up the board quickly into combat (what orks are best at!)

dont forget to buff your units with command points with the orks, some excellent bonuses hide in them.

Orks are fairly flexible, but they are paper thin, a Grot sacrificial wall is often useful too, but you have to think of your end game army early on to map out what units to get otherwise they might not be useful later on, the lootas for example i would rather have them as burnaboyz (which are leathal) and go for deffdreads as my long term heavy support with a sea of killa kans (but thats just me)
