The Ork codex is an amazingly entertaining read.

Stormboyz couldn't take being able to do whatever they want and ran off to join the Stormboy ranks, who function in a most un-Orkish way, being disciplined and whatnot. It's like that Larson cartoon when some kids run away from their life at the circus to join Corporate America, except with more explosive jetpacks, jagged knives and blood.

EDIT: Testing out my new 500 point army with a warphead. Warpheads rule, I utterly wrecked a Ironclad Dreadnought in a single shot.

Stormboyz and Bloodaxes in general would be my flavour of choice as well. :D
edit: Should I have to pick an ork army.

Lucky you. TWICE IN TWO CONSECUTIVE GAMES I ROLLED DOUBLE ONES.

First time he fired I rolled a 1, rerolled and rolled another 1.

Ah Hell. I mixed up his strength and his toughness. I guess in a legit game (playing against myself) he wouldn't have made it, but whatever, the fact he's proven he can wreck a dreadnought in a single shot is good enough.

As Neruz correctly predicted, my badly planned Necron Army was annihilated by Cthulhu's Chaos army, even though it was split in half in preparation for an attack from Sir Pseudonymus's Eldar.

Still, a fun game. I need more practice.

With Toasters: Destroyers Destroyers Destroyers. They have to be one of, if not the best unit in the game. Jetbikes with 36" heavy 3 weapons they can fire while moving? YES PLEASE.

That sounds fucking terrifying. Please tell me they're like 300 points expensive or something.

50 points a piece.

For their price, a bargain. The only bad thing is i can only take a maximum of 5 per Fast Attack slot, and Scarabs are in the same slot (dammit!)

It went even worse than you might have thought cause his Leman Russes ended up stuck behind everything without line of sight to anything useful, so they spent the whole game chilling out on the back of the board.

So how do I get into this thing?Do i need to have thoroughly memorized all the rules, still haven't got complete grip over vehicle combat as I have been mostly interested in the Nid codex. So should probably watch a game first or play with someone who can walk me through it. I have the latest vassal engine and the pack downloaded from Cthulhu's link. My log in name is Montgomery.

Played against person using Chaos, nice guy actually. Lost hard. I really should have seen that coming, as I was relying utterly on my Warphead for anti-armour. So I've got an army good for outshooting anything that doesn't bring along vehicles. Should have seen that one from a mile away. Here's a pic of me losing horribly. Most of the action happened on the hill, in assaults. I took down a Prince, so that's nice.

Gah, bit of a big picture, warning.
