Dunno. I love the orks. Simply love them.
Thing is, I don't feel that they play too well.
Green tide? Have fun barely fitting everything in the deployment zone and getting raped by blasts, large blasts, and templates. Anything that actually survives to reach the other side of the board is cut to bitz due to low initiative and lower numbers.
Mek orkz? Better hope you don't go second, because you won't have a single functional trukk left on the board by the time you get to go.
Orkz with big gunz?
Anything you can do, Guard can do better. Our best weapon is what? The boomgun? The Killkannon? And we can take three at most? Yeah, no.
Zagstruk?
Oh god, I want to use him so bad. I want to base a list around him and deep striking stormboyz. Deep strike scatter rules mean that he's a points sink that probably loses you the squad, and deep striking stormboyz are beyond useless.
Snikrot?
Good at what he does, can be a nasty surprise. Sadly, won't do jack shit to anything in a vehicle, and everyone and their dog has those.
Kan wall?
Half decent for their cost. Sadly, slow as fuck.
Lootas?
Excellent unit. So much firepower. Sadly, can't do jack shit against heavy vehicles- hell, nothing we have can, and so very squishy.
What's a warboss to do? All our boyz seem to muck about.
I acknowledge that there is no unit as effective for its points as an Ork Boy. Maybe it's just that I'm not using them right.
