Reflections on Orks: Where does their power come from?

Orks have some pretty good stuff, I'll be the first to admit.  I'll also be the first to admit that there are a *ton* of obstacles that Orks have to deal with in order to be a competitive army.  This post will be my thoughts on exactly what makes the greenskins tick (not anything too deep, I promise!), and maybe some other stuff.

Orks vs. Double Land Raiders: A quasi-battle report

Last night I finally got my first game in with my Ork list, against my friend Vince's double Land Raider list w/ Khan.  He recently got Best General at Tacticon, which is the 44 person tournament we just had, so he's not a bad player by any stretch of the word.  I wanted to try and see how Orks could do against double Land Raiders, and Terminator spam.

An Ork List, 1850ish

Well, after mulling over what I want to do for the Team Tournament in Adepticon, I decided the best way for me to get a feel for Orks was to make an army list with them, then make the team aspects around them.  So, here's the list:

Orks: What Rocks

Orks have a lot of great things in their codex:  6-point boyz, cheap effective HQ's, great hard-hitters, and speed all make them into a difficult army to deal with.  Today I'll touch on some things that I really like about the Ork Codex.

Orks: What sucks

In this article, I'm going to talk about a few things I personally think Orks are terrible at.  There are a lot of things in my opinion, but in order to make good army lists, the first step is to identify the terrible aspects of a Codex.  Lots of misconceptions are had about orks to be had, hopefully this will help debunk a few of them for the few people out there who actually read this blog, lol :)
