You know, during the World of Warcraft beta, I made an orc to play at one point. As fun as those orcs are, I just couldn't help myself in behaving more like a 40k ork roleplaying wise. 40k orks are just so much more fun to act like XD

I'm new to this guild, and I have a pretty sizeable Space Marine force. However, I'm looking into an Ork army, and I'm going to go up to our local GW and get the Codex for the Orks tomorrow. I'm looking to have a force mostly comprised of Slugga Boyz and Killa Kanz. If you all could give me some advice on what tactics I should use when playing as the Orks, as I'm not experienced in playing with them. Also, I have a basic idea of the painting techniques I'll use for the skin and metal bits, but some advice on good main colors for my army, (i.e. for banners, insignia, and warpaint) would be greatly appreciated. ^_^;;

my advice - don't use killa kans. Glorified cola can. It will die FAR too easy

I don't like how they gave orks that accent. Just doesn't sound right, y'know? Makes em' sound all proper, which isn't what an ork is supposed to be... Shoot me if you disagree, but I like orcs better. blaugh Buffer, and yet they have the intelligence to talk correctly.

The thing is, I also like the Tau very much, and as I'm very limited on funds, I'm not sure if a Tau or an Ork force would be least expensive. Please help me out with this... sweatdrop

Orks will probably be more expensive, you will go through green paints really fast. Tau armies usually have less models than orks also.

Heey no promoting Tau in the Ork thread xp .
Orks are wonderfull Tau are nice to but its just what you want for an army orks are the less serious have fun cc army and Tau are the complete opposite.
@Cagalli Killa kans are good just as long as they stick to cover a little.

ORks and ORcs are almost the same thing. Differences:
Orks are fungus, Orcs are mammals
Orks are born into a proffesion (mek, dok, boy, etc), orcs are not
Mekboys innately build stuff, orcs do not
Orks get HUGE, ORcs get big
And those are just 4 of the many reasons.

ork cans are effective, you just have to keep them in cover because of their low armor. a sqaud of them get alot of strength 10 attacks with no saves, so they are very good support for your boyz in combat. they are also a good source of fire power (for orks).
i have a squad of 3 cans and i also have a dreadnought, i switch them out for time to time (as i do with everything else in my army).
my question:
how do you guys think a shooty ork army would do?
i have like 140 orks in boxes to screw around with, and ive been thinking of the things i could do with my bad moons army. if i wanted i could put 5 big shootas in every squad, but that would be kind of cruel. im thinking of taking mostly squads with more dakka (assault 2 shootas!). im also taking a 20 man squad of skar boyz and a 20 man squad of slugga boyz for support. what do you guys think?
