How do you start an Ork Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse army?
I would like to start an Ork Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse army from scratch. Could anyone provide information about essential units, what I should buy, different tactics, etc.? Thanx for any good answers!
Starting an Apocalypse army from scratch is almost impossible. However you go about things, you will really need to begin with a small army that gets bigger with time. Apart from anything else, playing conventional games of 40k will help you get to grips with the rules of the game.
That said, if you’re going for the whole “Apocalypse” feel then at least one Legenday unit is essential. Which you choose is really up to your taste and your budget. You could orkify a Baneblade or other Imperial superheavy tank. You could – of course – get yourself a Stompa. Or you could go for a Forgeworld piece, such as a Garganutuan Squiggoth or a brace of fighta-bomas.
Other than that, your best starting point for any Ork army is the contents of the Assault on Black Reach boxed set. Try to find a fellow player who wants Space Marines and swap your marines for his Orks and you’ve got the core of a great army for a fraction of the usual price. Check on eBay and you’ll find loads more AoBR models up for sale at knock-down prices.
Once you get up to Apocalypse-scale battles, you have to think about tactics (somewhat – obviously, that’s second to just having a laugh, but you’ll have more fun if your entire army isn’t obliterated in the first two turns). To dominate an Apocalypse battlefield, mobility is key. So plenty of trukks, battlewagons and biker boyz should form a mobile core of your army, loaded up (of course) with oodles of boyz and nobz.
