Orks, Orks and moar Orks (new Orks go to p. Eleven!)

When it comes to the exercise of 'how many orks can I possibly field for x points', Madboyz are the answer, as they're only 5pts. a pop and can be fielded in unlimited numbers (again skipping the pesky bigmob size cap) as Deathskulls. They also will be utterly out of your control about half of the game. If you want units you can actually control, WIldboyz are the answer and Snakebites can field them in unlimited numbers. If a unit's size exceeds 21, they actually become cheaper than madboyz - still no gun and no save though.

I once fielded several hundred unarmed gretchin against a beardy space wolves player. They even managed to take down terminators through sheer weight of numbers. Was a very fun game!
 
I'm still not beaten! Through adversity and bouts of personal shortcomings I soldier on.
Literally, since the latest addition to the warhorde is a squad of regular Ork soldiers. Verrrry regular Ork soldiers

Yes, they're all monopse since I don't have any other variant sculpts left. Just used some bic lighter scraps again to fashion two 'custom shootas'. The leader is another sculpt and a nice chunky size as befits da boss.

They are the longer guns I guess? I've never seen those boyz in person. Didn't realise they wore dog collars. Probably done to enforce unit coherency. You probably shouldn't attach them to your nob with leashes though.

Even monopose models can be given some uniqueness via paint, if you are inclined. They each have a unique base, which also counts. Nice looking unit.
 
Thanks! And yes, the long barrels are valves from bic lighters cut to size. Given that pretty much every sample army from back in the day featured multiples and multiples of the same minis, I consider my monopose unit a tribute to the way things were.
