Orks (also known as "the green tide") are one species of alien that you don't want to mess with. They are absolutely scary in close combat, and they have the upper hand most of the time when in numbers, hence their nickname. The only bad thing about the Orks are that they have a ballistic skill of 2, making them roll a 5 or a 6 to hit. Their weapon skill, however, is 4, so they hit in close combat on the roll of a 3+. Another bad thing about the Orks is that their armor isn't always that great, but what the hey, who cares. Their vehicles are also pretty sweet. . .
I just uploaded a bunch of Ork images also, so I guess I'll just plop 'em down here.
