Waaagh!

The Green Tide approaches!

As you can probably guess by the name of this thread, I am starting an Ork army!

This is not a random event that I just fancied some Orkiness, as I have pondered and did in fact plan on getting some previously. However, I eventually settled on IG, and nicked Dad's off of him . Then I've never really considered getting another 40K force. However, recently, I've been spending way too much of my day on the internet looking into getting some. In the end, I decided to use Total Wargamer's 25% off this weekend on GW stuff to get myself the Assault on Black Reach. I did this, as the Battleforce is more of an army booster (in my opinion), so I didn't really like the idea of spending £55 odd on something that I'd then have to go and buy a HQ for aswell. However, I realised that, for just £1.50 more, I could get the Assault on Black Reach which, not only comes with an entire Space Marine force, rulebook, dice, etc., but also comes with more Orky goodness! Plus, I would get the Deffcopters (which you can't buy anywhere else) and the completely awesome-looking Ork Warboss that only comes with the Assault on Black Reach starter set, which I quite like. That way, I would get my two Troops choices (two squads of ten Ork Boyz), my HQ (Ork Warboss), a really nice squad of exclusive Deffcopters and an Elite squad of Ork Nobz. I might consider getting some Ork Bikers, too, as I love the speedy things for Orks, as they just seem so awesome!

I will be doing a lot of converting in this force, as I haven't properly had a chance to do a converting-heavy force yet, and I have been dreaming of going ballistic on a whole army with various bits and pieces. There are a few things that I have in mind to do, but any suggestions would be welcome. I already know what I think that I'm going to do on the Warboss and Deffcopters, but I'm not too sure of any good Boyz conversions.

For the campaign, I'll use my IG, but for any other games, I'd like to try out the Orks.
