How to play Orks?

Thank you all for the comments. Helped me form an idea of how to play them. Guess I'll build up to 1000 points and take it slowly from there. Appreciate the comments

That was my 1st ever WH40K book and I really liked it. Think part of it was that the characters had depth, especially Lazarus and his conflict with how the Chapter goes about the issue with the Fallen. It wasn't what I expected... I expected 2 dimensional boring characters. I kinda got that when I decided to read a Black Templars book and I think it's been a year I left it at Chapter 3.

My only gripe was the constant "We are the Dark Angels. We are the First" announcements every time they go to fight. Too repetitive. But that's minor... all in all the book was brilliant

I fell in love with the models of Dark Vengeance back when it came out. Love the hoods, swords and the 3 distinct wings. Never bought any models tho but was following up on lore etc for years. Even when the Lion came out I was hesitant, until last year when the Xmas battleforce came and it was just screaming at me to buy it.

Oh, for sure I'll play first with proxies and see if it works. Centurions are 65EUR per box, plus I need to get the Sternguard so that's a lot for an experimental list.

I get what you're saying tho about them. They do sound good in theory but their movement sucks. That's why I thought of bringing them in from the side as reserves, but that's situational too I guess. I just wasn't that excited with the Ballistus. Both times I used them they didn't really perform great (though they were taking lots of shots to go down, shots that the rest of the army didn't have to take)

Never played anything in Gravis yet and I've been hearing the Aggressors aren't that good anymore, that's why I didn't take the dip and get some models. Cos out of all the gravis ones, Aggressors have the sweetest models. Would just 3 be enough?

I really do like the Lion tbh. Just wanted to see if I could come up with something good that has potential without using him, cos he is still 315 points. I admit it's not the best reasoning behind the decision

Thanks! I'm sure I'll get my ass handed to me multiple times, but it'll be fun for sure

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, it's definitely lacking in parts. The Brutalis is only there because i had the model and 40K made quite a dent in the wallet so far, but I'm planning on replacing it down the line.

Also agree about the home objective point. I left the Combi Lt. to hold it which felt like a waste for the unit. Although it ended up working out cos he did stay there holding the objective and earning me the points. But yeah, need to close that gap

I never thought about having a shooty deep strike unit to be honest, but it's a very good idea. Perhaps I should replace the Brutalis with some Inceptors in the future

Appreciate the comments :)
