-- Oriol Turmo (josep_turmo@cuatrecasas.com), October 07, 1997.

To win against orks bring lotsa sustained fire weapons (heavy bolters do nicely) and big blast weapons.

To beat the Orks, you have to be able to understand their strengths and basic weaknesses. They move forward in a big wave, but if you can break the forward elements, you shouldn't have too much trouble with the rest. Move and fight only portions of the Ork army, don't try to take them on in a one to one basis as you'll be outgunned easily. Avoid being the target of their overwhelming support weapons. Pulsa rockets are way too effective so don't think you can stand your Dreadnought around an absorb fire. The bikes should be shot up as soon as possible as their auto cannons will make swiss cheese out of your best troops. A lot od sustained fire weapons are a good idea, but basic troopers getting good kills will be more effective in the long run(fewer jams).

Hahaha!!!! You'll never beat the Orks!! well, atleast no more than 50% of the time...Actually, an Ork army in the hands of a relatively new player wont be hard to beat at first...but watch out in the future...

All armies can be beaten. It is a matter of exploiting their weaknesses. Orks have strength in numbers. They rely on massive salvoes of heavy weapons and immense charges of grunts supported by some hard models like dreadnoughts or warbosses. The key is to divide and conquer. Deploy along a large front and split them up. cover key assault routes. However, it is a good idea to find a way to deal with the support weapons, dreadnoughts and shockattack guns, because if they actually work, they'll put a Kansas-size hole in your army.

ORKS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you hummies cant beat uz wez way too stong for youz.

-- Gratzta (cant@say.com), September 16, 1998.

My Swarms will beat Orc's nine times out of ten mostly because of the orcs lack of Leadership.Aura of Torment is particularly useful against Orcs,I.G.,and Eldar.Swarm grunts are superior to most other armies grunts, which allow me to absorb orc wave style attacks.The only time i lose is on the Tyranid Attack mission which in my opinion sucks and is generally the most difficult tyranid mission against any army.

Are Orks those greenskinned fellows?

-- Dark Reapa (baseboy@hotmail.com), October 23, 1998.

Orks never lose. If we win we win. If we die we get burped into another body to fight more. If we run away we can always come back and give it another go. BUT WE NEVER LOSE.

-- Nazdreg Great Ork Warlord (Noneofyourbusiness@noway.com), November 07, 1998.

All you gots to do to kill dem orks is take a chaos army with Kharn, I once killed 30 orks in one turn with Kharn. CHAOS shall always reign supreme, we're taking your own troops right from under your nose (cults, etc.) and you'll never stop chaos! BWHAAAAAAAHAAAHAHAHAHAHA,.. ahem, sorry.

" Orks "

Orks are without doubt one of the most poular armies in 40K for new players. These new players see their ramshackle, unorthodox appearance, and think thye look like a simple, fun army to use. They're not. With infighting, unreliable weaponry, lowlleadership and poor BS scores, it takes a master gamer to get the most out of them. When they do, the are the most unstoppable army in the game - but playing orks needs commitment, dedication and carefulk tactical thinking. Hand - to - hand, boyz will be ripped apart by most everyone save Imperials. It's best to concentrate all your mobs fire on one particular target ; in large games, it's not uncommon to roll a hundred dice or more at an enemy squad - against Traitor or Imperial Marines, sometimes causing no wounds ! It can be quite sickening however watching your entire army turn and flee, leaving a single hormagaunt in possesion of the vital table quartyer.
