Whether you're a die-hard fan of the Orks or just looking to embrace some chaotic fun, this issue is a must-have. Let’s dive into what makes this edition so special for the greenskins!
The Main Event: Orks Galore!
The heart and soul of this issue are the Orks, and it’s hard not to get excited about them. In White Dwarf 505, you'll find everything from in-depth tactics for Ork armies to stunning showcases of beautifully painted models. There are even new rules for making your Waaagh! even more brutal and hilarious.
For those not familiar with the rambunctious green horde, Orks are one of the most iconic and chaotic forces in Warhammer. They’re driven by pure instinct, with an insatiable desire to fight, loot, and create havoc across the galaxy. This issue will give you a whole new appreciation for these wildly unpredictable warriors.
Tactical Bonanza: Getting Stuck in with Ork Strategy
If you’re someone who loves diving deep into strategy, then White Dwarf 505 delivers some fantastic tactical insights for Ork commanders. There’s a detailed breakdown of how to get the most out of your Boyz, Nobz, and all the other clanking, stomping, and smashing units in your arsenal.
The section explores key units and tips for leveraging Ork strengths, like the all-important MOB RULE, which keeps your Boyz sticking around longer than they should. Oh, and there’s some great advice on when to go for that all-important WAAAGH!—timing is everything if you want to overwhelm your enemies with sheer numbers.
Painting and Modelling: Orks Done Right
One of the joys of collecting Orks is how much freedom they give you when it comes to painting and conversions. This issue is loaded with inspiring paint jobs, from vibrant green-skinned warriors to their rugged, mismatched armour, and even some incredible vehicle conversions that look like they’ve just been cobbled together in the heat of battle.
The painting guides in White Dwarf 505 are top-notch, offering tips on achieving those gritty, weathered looks that make Ork models stand out on the battlefield. Whether you're a beginner looking to get your first Boyz painted up or a veteran looking for some extra flair, there's something here for you.
ORKTOBER EXTRAS: The Fun Doesn't Stop Here!
White Dwarf 505 isn’t just about tactics and painting, though. It’s packed with loads of Ork-themed extras that will fuel your creativity. From background lore that dives deep into the Orkish mindset to scenarios that will have you cackling with glee as you smash through your opponents, there’s a treasure trove of Ork content to explore.
And let’s not forget the Battle Report that pits Orks against another unlucky faction. There’s something about watching Orks in action that’s just a pure joy—no matter who wins, it’s always a good laugh!
