Hey there. I'm starting Orks soon and I was wondering what I would need for say a 500 pt game. I know atleast 2 units of 20 Ork Boyz and a unit of warbikes for fast attack. What type of HQ should I get and why? What other units are helpful in a 500 point game or up. Also, what are some units u like a lot and would recommend? thanx in advance!

Take many, many slugga boyz. I learned this the hard way. And you must always take a Warboss.
I like black text you like black text lalala! lalala! ..wow, I already lost the tune to that song..
Folks, I may return or I may vanish, but know..

How many Boyz are good to take in a unit? Also, is it good to Boyz your men with an axe thingy in one hand and a pistol like gun in the other? My friend says that's the good way to equip them but he doesn't now squat about Orks so I thought about asking u guys.

Axe and pistol-Slugga. Enemies can only get a 4+ save or worse in combat, pistol with S4, AP6.

Or:

A Shoota: range 24, S4, AP6.

I'd take a slugga. Does more pain.

Thank you very much! Also, the main armies that I'm going to be fighting is like Tyranids, Tau, IG, Daemonhunters, and sometimes Eldar(most UNLIKELY i will fight these since my friend doesn't use them that much). Is there anything that I really need to be careful about when playing any of these armies?

Yeah not getting shot to bitz before you get your boyz into hand to hand combat by Tau and the IG. If you are doing a standard ork list I would recommend a unit or two of truck boyz so you can get some boyz into hand to hand fairly quickly. A squad of ork storm boyz might be nice too. Gotta love orks with rockets strapped to their backs.

You might try floating over to www.the-waaagh.com for advice. That's where I've learned the most about playing Orkz. Say hello when you get there. I'm Ashnak of da Bigga Stik Krew. There's a great deal of very experienced Ork players there who ar always ready to help out a new yoof.
