Ork Stompa

Ork Stompa introduces himself into a battlefield like a hideous fierce green warrior, screaming out battle cries and firing a myriad of weapons that resemble nothing but total chaos. This is indeed just what an Ork Stompa is capable of doing. When an Ork Stompa clan unites to form a Waaagh, their formidable tenacities, and reckless regard for life itself, make them an enemy to contend with.

The first of Ork Stompa’s strengths lie in the fact that they have an inherent lack of fear when it comes to death. This is seen in their uncanny ability to stay alive no matter the appendages they lose in a battle. With each victory celebrated, an Ork Stompa will continue to increase in size and strength, as if he was on a steady diet of human growth hormones. They do not hesitate when it comes to charging into battle. The strength of their massive gargantuan guns commences the carnage of their enemies, who will ultimately be torn asunder with the use of their huge claws that sport spinning blades. Sitting like the formidable enemies they are upon their battlewagons, an Ork Stompa battle always plays to the bloody end.

Enemies, like the Astarte and the warrior of Marshal Amalrich Sword Brethren, were methodically slain without regard, as seen in the battle of the Temple of The Emperor Ascendant. Ork Stompas have ways of succeeding against their enemies, when seemingly being defeated. A line of gathered Behemoth Crusher Brood had taken that knowledge to their deaths. It has been said that when a howda assails the walls and front lines of an enemy, engaged with the treacherous intentions of death and destruction, there is little defense in holding back the arrival of destiny.

Codex: Orks

Orks are a violent, humanoid race from the Warhammer 40,000 universe that enjoys making war more than anything else. For this reason, Orks can be one of the most enjoyable of races to play.
Their large size and muscular build make them adept at war, and the fact they are the most numerous race enables them to create large armies capable of taking on even elite opposing armies. In addition, Orks are able to customize lost body parts. If an Ork loses a hand or an arm, the stump is covered with a weapon, often making him a better warrior. Even their heads can be customized with weapon accessories. Many Ork kits come with a variety of plastic parts that can be interchanged easily.
They use relatively crude weapons, including stickbombz, large guns called sluggas, brutal edged weapons called choppas and the new shokk attack gun. As a result, Ork tactics usually include massing large numbers against enemies and the use of a Furious Charge. However, Ork armies can also be built for speed, using Trukks, Warbuggies and Warbikes. Regardless, Orks are better in close combat and closing in on their enemy is a favorite tactic as they gain a high number of attacks during melee combat. The only race that can compete in melee combat with Orks are Eldar Aspect warriors. Ork Tankbusta boys are effective against enemy armor, especially Imperial Guard since they tend to use a lot of armored tanks.
As for enemies, nearly every other race in the Warhammer universe can be included on this list, including themselves as they frequently battle each other for various reasons.
The unconventional nature of Orks can make them very fun to play and keeps game play fresh.
