They are killing my units too fast... and i dont know how to prevent this.
Even with Painboys and Kustom Force Fields. And putting everything in a Transport have not worked too till now.
The short answer is, you can't prevent ork units from dying. Losing stuff is part of the ork game, the trick is bring enough of everything so it doesn't matter.
But i played about 5 or 6 games till then.... so first i need to learn a lot about strategy.
I think the hints here in the forum are really helpfull.
I was a kind shocked when i read that orks are no melee army
A common mistake even experienced players make is just have your orks running straight at your enemies and hope to get in melee. As you have probably found out by now is that your orks aren't vastly much more powerful than marines or necrons in melee and quite often you take serious casualties in return. The only real melee units in your army are the warboss and the dead.
What you need to do to win games is gain
VP, not kill stuff. Charging is a tool that allows you to either outnumber an opponent on an objective or to gain speed. Don't start fights that end badly for your and hiding behind out of sight is usually a better move than getting into the enemy's as fast as possible.
That said, are there any units giving you trouble in specific? It would be easier to provide you with strategies if I knew what you were up against.
So im allready thinking about risking a bit more firepower.
This is probably your biggest issue right now - ork survival heavily depends on taking out dangerous enemy units, and melee simply can't do that.
The obvious choice is re-equpping your dread with 1 klaw, 1 saw and 2 KMB. It will reduce its cost by 5 and usually gives you one hit with a fairly powerful weapon - deffskulls really synergize well with KMB.
Other things you could cut for more shooting would be the trukk, the rokkit on the warboss and some boyz to add some shooting to your list. Possible options would be a second dread, a buggy (kustom boosta-blasta, scrapjet or shokk-jump dragsta) or some mek guns.
Playing Orks is really a lot of fun...im not that kind of person who wants to win all the time... but sometimes a win can be cool
From having brought many people into the game, I can just telling you that losing a lot in the beginning is normal. Eventually, you will get a feel for your army and then you will start winning games with them. Orks are one of the hardest armies to play, so just keep improving.
