Answer That's a pretty wide question... On the one hand, orks are an unruly, unpredictable mob who's weapons are just as likely to blow up in their faces as reduce a squad of Marines to goo...if they even manage to hit... their shooting is atrocious and, with a BS of just 2, your not particularly likely to hit a thing, unless you go for a really gun-heavy army. On the other hand, orks have some of the best weapons in the game, both at range and up close and personal. The Shokk Attack Gun is capable is instant killing a full unit of Grey Knight Terminators, while your Nob squad carves up a party of Howling Banshees with 'Uge Choppas and Power Klaws... Even your most basic Ork Boy has an impressive 3 str 4 attacks on the charge, courtesy of the furious charge rule, available to every member of a greenskin army (except the grots, of course). Orks are also one of the most versatile armies in the 40k universe. They have a unit for every eventuality. Tank-hunters to rokkit-jumpers. Stealthily creeping through a jungle, or charging at the enemy, guns firing wildly. Whatever you want out of an army, the orks will have it in some form or another... In my opinion, orks are simply one of the most entertaining armies to play...winning is just a bonus.
If you are serious about Warhammer 40K you can only play Orks.
Technically you can play any army against any army, and any army with any army, except where rules specifically state that you may not (E.g. Black Templars may never ally with an army containing pyschers) It would however be extremely unusual, but so long as you have a good background story, it should be fine.
If you are talking about Orks off of Lord of the Rings, no they are not. They were created from dead remains of Elves and trained to kill and do evil.
yes there is ork warboss ( heavy armour and claw) 5 nobz ( big coppa) 8 lootas 29 boyz ork turkk
There is no best and/or worst army in Warhammer 40k. The points system is mostly fair and reflects how these armies should be played. Tau are good at shooting but not so much at close combat, same with Orks and Tyranids, they're not the best at shooting but can eat you up at close combat (most Orks have a BS of 2 I think)
AnswerThey're just as old as the the Space Marines because 40k stated with Space Marines vs Orks.
Eldar would win if they were at range (execpt howling banchess) but if the orks got in at close range they would win
No they are the same size unless you take into account the extra modifications the 40k Orks have.
Orks, also called Greenskins are a race of humanoid green skinned savage creatures that can be found in the Warhammer 40k computer game. The Orks are made up of different types of races.
Well i play guard but ill try not be to one sided, Bassically guard are very shootie. They have lots of big guns to sit back and just kill stuff. and lots of weak troops to try and keep anything from killing those guns. Orks are much differect, though they do have guns they suck at using them and usually just load 20 or so boys into a truk and go kill stuff in cc. So really its how you play it, a good gamer can kill guard with orks and orks with guard.
Yes they have Weirdboyz.
Your answer is going to be different from person to person..... Orks are better at combat, Tau are better at shooting. Depending on what you are looking for, both armies are amazing.
