Waaagh, chaaarge and chop.
Basic ork tactics.
But more to the point: Numbers are your friends, the green horde is hard to stop. The advise my local ork player gives the gretchin: Don't waste to many points getting all the upgrades, orks will perform fine when there's another one at its back.

Make them either big mobs of 30 on foot, or 3 big mobs of 20 in battlewagons. Deff rollas are a must if you do that.
I have Orks, and I only played them once. I won so much it hurt, and then decided that guard was better after all. Still feeling sorry for those poor Ultramarines...

A power Klaw in every squad. For serious. You wouldn't believe how many times I find an Okr mob without a PK, and charge it with a dread. That's 30 guys you're gonna lose eventually, if you don;t get some PK backup in there. Plus, with the Nob not being an IC, you can designate loads of wounds onto the boys so he gets a chance to swing.

Either slugga and choppa OR a shoota.
The shoota mobz are amazing 30 strong. Add in a power klaw nob and 3 big shootas.

30 Ork Boyz + 2 Big Shootas + Rokkit Launcha + Shootas + Nob + ‘Eavy Armour + Boss Pole + Power Klaw To this I would add a weirdboy, this will add fire power and lead to some crazy times (just think: 1in6 chance of teleporting 30 boys into combat range or to a objective) |
