I am starting an Ork army and re-familiarizing myself with their rules. I noticed they are St 3. I seem to recall them being St 4, but that might be as along ago as 2nd edition.

Am I crazy?

I'm no old ork player, but orks have furious charge, so they get +1 S and +1 I when assaulting. Thats how they get their Strength up to 4.

nope, my old freeboota boyz were str 3, and in the last codex my ork boyz were str 3, now they are str 3 unless they get the charge.

Right on. Thanks

Unless you're remembering skarboyz.....

This might be it. Skarboyz were an elites choice in the 3rd edition codex that were S4.

Or they were S4 in 2nd edition. I don't know because I wasn't playing that far back.

lol The original blues brothers was HILARIOUS! I just wanted to say that, because of your avatar.
