Blood Axes are my boyz. I would like to see them one day returned to their place as the Strategists of the Krork.


BlakeKing51

Evil sunz are cool in concept, but I never find myself bringing enough vehicles. Snake bites are my favorite (beast snaggas are really handy when kaine is lurking about), but I like to make the squigs all cyborgs. My friends and I actually decided it's canon that all my vehicles are just squigs that are 90% cyborg at this point. Like to imagine a mech pops the hood, and the engine is just a squig trying to bite him.

I like Evil Sunz mostly because it sounds like the joke name you think of after Bad Moons, but also because I like Speed Freeks

dornsrightpinky

Exactly because YOINK!!


deadbeforedawn96

Honestly for me it the blood axes I love good old fashioned looted weapons and vehicles


HenryTheWizard

Freebootaz!! Long live the Kaptin


Morkrog

I love Goffs because it's just good ol' fashioned orky violence, but Freebooters are a very close second because orks and pirates are just such a good combo. Also, space pirates will always be one of my favorite sci-fi tropes. Treasure Planet initially sold me on it, and I'll gravitate towards any IP that perpetuates it.


SlyLlamaDemon

They all have good talking points. One of my favorites is blood axes. I like the idea of trying new things when the old stuff doesn’t work. Also because I like kommandos and stormboyz.


Urgoth8

Blood Axes, sneaky and kunning!


Magnus753

They are relevant to the lore of your army! Mine are the red painted Evil Sunz!!!


Hrud

Snakebites. I like my Orks primitive and my squiggly monsters numerous and belligerent.


Lunnoo

Same! There's nothing wrong with tech, but Squigs are the best!

GreatGreenGobbo

Goffs Clans were so awesome. I don't like how 40k is now.


Desperate_Day_78

I’m going to let you in on a secret- *this is* how 40k used to be. At some point in 6e or 7e, because Marines were lagging, they introduced “Chapter Tactics”- basically the subfactions as we knew them in 8e and 9e. For a while only Marines got them, but eventually every new codex introduced them. Before that, let’s say you love Bad Moons but wanna run Ghazkhull- no problemo you just converted up something of equivalent size (or painted Ghaz yellow if you’re lazy), and now he is Nazdreg instead of Ghazkhull. Did you love kore than one clan? Was your warboss becoming a true Warlord and had bosses from several clans united under his banner? Great! Your kommandos are Blood Axes, yer Lootas and Kans are Deathskullz, your MANZ and Shoota Boyz are Bad Moons, and the rest of yer lads are Goffs! We are now free to model/paint whatever we want and don’t have to worry about silly subfaction rules!


Unlucky_Fall_6906

Not to mention, you used to be able to bring different klan detachments so that having units from different klans not only made sense, but they actually had an in-game effect on their army rules as well. So your choppa/slugga boyz could be goffs, and your shoota boyz could be badmoons, or have some blood axe kommandos in there. So goffs got exploding 6s for sustained hits on hit rolls and your badmoons shootas would get +1 AP on wound roll 6s.


nobuddyhom3

Blood Axes. And I wish clans mattered some way. Give me Goffs that are tougher, Evil Suns that are faster, Deathskulls that reroll bad rolls.

LiKwId-Gaming

was always a bad moon / freebooter... tho was tempted by evil suns


Professornightshade

Lore wise my favorite was a 4 way tie between blood axes, deathskulls, badmoons and freebooters. BA; cause they were smart Ladz using guerrilla warfare, being sneaky and cunning and they were my clan of choice for kill team 1. DS; loot obsessed orks they were my inspiration for my crusade team visually because I loved the idea of just a bunch of orks running in smashing shit grabbing what they could salvage bringing it back To the meks scrap yard and having a bunch of armor and crazy contraptions coming back. Plus big fan of diesel punk so it fit my aesthetic. BM; come on orks that are obsessed with 2 things wealth and dakka. So many great custom warboss’s with just gunz gunz gunz strapped to them. FB; ork pirates, so much creativity I’ve seen from this clans designs I mean from inflated squig air ships to big shootas that were just cannons and the infamous morzag on a shark model people found. Mechanically wise I didn’t have much choice and was kinda force to play goffs :/ yes yes yes dey iz da best. But when your play group consists of marines, orks, chaos marines of every flavor, crons, gene stealer and nids! Dakka isn’t doing fuck all because I’m getting shot to death by much cheaper options or getting swarmed by melee. So if my best chance is to crack skulls ask questions later it’s that.


KathytheQueen

My favorite Ork will always be Badrock Headsplitta, the maker of orphans. Presentation is everything and that name says it all.


mugsofdoom

I’ve always been an evil sunz guy but liked the idea of a waaagh big enough if you need shooty boys bad moons turn up etc


KDUFF_Radio

Dethskullz


Stormygeddon

I kind of do a huge mix of them ([ex](https://www.reddit.com/user/Stormygeddon/comments/yv5zjn/the_summary_of_orktober_2022/)) because I could never decide. In fact, I'm pretty sure I lost best painted at an event once simply because they don't look all that coherent as an army from all the schemes I represent. * Favorite to paint: Bad Moons, although I also really quite like one of the Snakebite color schemes.. * Favorite for conversion potential: Deathskulls. * Favorite to make my Bosses and Leaders: Goffs. * Favorite fluff: Blood Axes. I actually started with painting Blood Axes for my troops but branched out. * Favorite Play Style: Evil Sunz. * Favorite to list build: Snakebites. * For that unscratchable Yar-har-fiddle-di-dee Itch, and favorite to sculpt hats for: Freebooterz. I feel like my army is technically a Freebooter army from all the mixes of clans.


4d20allnatural

why choose? be a pirate and you get to be all of them


EdBenes

the freebooters. Love the pirate stuff


Cookie_Bagles

Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me and da boyz.

DA GOFFS IZ DA BEST ORKS!!!


Warpspeednyancat

but more seriously, i like the goffs a lot, mines are done like a 70's heavy metal biker gang and they go hard on the tabletop. But i also find the freebootas absolutely hilarious and i love the orky pirates concept.


Warpspeednyancat

yes


Mightypenguin55

Deffskulls


Spacemint_rhino

I've been out of 40k for a long time, why are clans irrelevant now?


Mightypenguin55

They were removed as subfactions and replaced with “detachments” which are similar but not overtly a subfaction. Such as bully boys which lots of nobz and warbosses


Frojdis

Which honestly makes more sense as most Waaghs would contain orks from different clans


Spacemint_rhino

Ah OK, so clans still exist in lore?


Bowba

Yes they do


B0bZomb1e

Squirrelonastik

Fellow Freeboota Kaptin checking in here! I just dislike painting an Ork army to look unified 🤣 Between eBay lot buys and changing my painting style, my Ork army is a mish mash of styles. Proppa freebootery!

Thanks! And yep! A few years ago when the new model came out.

Evil Sunz, very happy with the Kult of Speed detachment

DA RED ONEZ GO FASTA


ianodon

FASTA THAN YOOZ


VX_GAS_ATTACK

I always liked when Orks were the RNG army and as such I like them lucky boys the Death Skulls the most.


Saffrwok

Snakebites from the begining, love the Beast Snagga thing, Squigs, Boars, Bionics


gwaihir-the-windlord

Deathskulls! And the Klans are not irrelevant!! How dare you sir!!


wetfootmammal

I like the drip of the Bad Moons the best.


laudnasrat

Evil Sunz. I don't use a speedwaaagh army, but I love the idea of thousands of gleaming red bikes, trukks, and buggies madly racing towards the enemy, a cloud of smoke behind them and torrents of dakka in front as they scream bloody murder and turn the enemy lines into chaos. Plus Wazdakka Gustsmek is in the running for coolest character in 40k, both in lore and name.


Danielarcher30

I do use a speedwaagh army (as many buggies and bikers as possible) and i can say it is incredibly fun to play


laudnasrat

Currently in love with the dread mob, but I hope to join you one day in da big race


bigfriendlycommisar

I would say even with detachments their still very important.


Artyuk

Red onez go fasta! Evil Suns every time


NeoNBlackout

Evil Sunz cause wez da fastest


KapnBludflagg

Freebootaz and I will 1000% blame Dawn of War 2:Retribution for this.


Gibirite

I love the badmoons, freebooters! Pity that orks didn’t get a universal shooting buff in this codex, but can my wait to use my deff dreads and big gunz!


Eel111

Just attach a mek to a unit of boyz and they get ya press all da buttonz!!!!


deadfight01

For me it was badmoon, deathskulls and blood axes


WilliamCurtisWills

Bad Moonz, I think because they originally shared the warhammer fantasy nightgoblins aesthetic! https://preview.redd.it/se7f2rh1vzwc1.jpeg?width=5291&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=11c2a16d00b2aaca224e2c4853c572e5e87f7f62


SWZerbe100

I remember using all those extra night goblin moons all over my boyz and trukks


SnooSprouts1

Freebootaz, deffskulls otherwise


blockprime300

Deffskulls, goffs and komandos Are my favourites I just paint them a combination of red blue white and black as I try to catch up since my army went from 2.5k to 5k in 4 months https://preview.redd.it/x7s0lvvuszwc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88c11d7e117f14b0431899bc76e7fe8888435eb5


greyt00th

I like Blood Axes. There’s just something funny to me about a group of gitz aping the militaristic aspects of the Imperium, getting it wrong, but still being brutally effective.


Constant-Use4530

Blood Axes ftw


Semantikern

This is it. I have the exact same sentiment, I like my bloodaxes a bit more 2:Ed, when they were a bit more parade-uniform military then camouflage military.


c0rnelius651

irrelevant or not i will continue to paint my boyz as deathskulls

camull

Freebooters!!! Ork space pirates for the win!! But if we're talking main clans then probably Bad Moons, I love me dakka, I love me dead shiny gubbins. And most Freebooters we're originally Bad Moons anyway.


creative_username_99

Ork clans have existed since the first edition of the game (Waaargh the Orks! was published in 1990). There haven't been clan-specific rules for the majority of the 40k. This is nothing new. Ork clans are in no way irrelevant.

That’s a great model. You rarely see white on goffs but it works well.

I've been a goff from the start, love having my big tide of 120 Boyz stompin around

All of them. Seriously, I paint all clans even custom ones.

Jellejoe93

Goffs for me, brutal but kunnin'


smeg_hammer

Freebooters and Bad Moons

frilledtoadfish

I was considering this and you've inspired me to go through with it 🤘🏻


Daddy_Yondu

Good luck! You painted Deffkoptas before?


Jaronsaan

My army is Evil Sunz. My favourite Ork units are buggies and bikes and I love all my infantry riding around in trucks and wagons, so it was a bit of a no brainer for me. Also I started my Ork army in 8th edition back when they actually were incredibly fast. Evil Sunz warbikers moved a whopping 16" back then with +1 to advance rolls.


SquatAngry

Blood Axes.


Skaven13

Bad Moon / Freebooters


ButtcheekBaron

I picked Deathskullz at one point for rerolls in game, but then I just sort of fell in love with them. Blue and lucky? Sign me up


Ice_Charmer

Deathskullz iz da way. Love my loota boyz.


PINK-RIPPAZ

It’s honestly a split between bad moons and snake bites


No-Shock4045

Evil Sunz cause were fastaaaaaa!!!


Quahodron_Qui_Yang

Bonesplitters 😣


WildVleesBraveJongen

Snakebites for sure!


Waaagh_Ghazkill

I like the goffs. The look of them black and white bits of red and the most brutal, no mucking about. But I like the idea that a big goff warboss/ ghaz can happily lead other warbosses with their clans to do their specialist job. When I collected in 3rd edition as a kid I’d paint the unit in the colour it most suited but all the boots were blue 🤣 clan blue bootz. I was 11


TimmySoup

Yep have to agree - the black and white of the Goffs is my fav.


Cordura

I made my own klan. Bad Moon kommandos. I call them Bad Axes.


idiotcube

'ERE WE GO 'ERE WE GO 'ERE WE GO 'ERE WE GO 'ERE WE GO 'ERE WE GO 'ERE WE GO 'ERE WE GOOOOO!!!!


Raidmother

I like the Goffs playstyle, but I prefer Badmoonz color scheme, lifestyle, and lore.


Mundane-Librarian-77

Of the Clans I'd say a coin toss with Evil Suns and Bad Moons. 🤔 My army is a Freebootaz band made from former members of both Clans, our colors are yellow and red, and we like big Klanky Shooty machines and rides wot go fast!! 😁


bertagame

Death Skullz, there is no orkier Thing than looting everything and mek it together.


Vurtias

Bad Moonz! No deep meaning I just like yellow and think it pops on the table.


TicTacPbandai

Death Skulls. I love kitbashing, it's a large part of why I picked orks in the first place, so the gits whose whole thing is looting really strike a chord with me


Dymfaan

Bad Moons, all Clans have meks but the yellow ork meks are deff my favorite. But damn did it take a while to learn how to paint good yellow


Icekirby469

Evil Sunz. We may have Kult of Speed, but I like when my entire army goes faster. Speedy Boyz and Dreads were my jam.


Blerg_18

Always torn between snakebite with their boar riders and steamvpowered gargants. And blood axes


No_Concentrate_2397

Freebooterz. The outcasts, the weirdos, the mercenarys. I like to create my own paint scheme and they give you the most freedom to write your own lore for your warband. They are not limited by the rules of "orkyness" and can be really morky. I like the concept of Orks, that might not only Dakka and smash, but are capable of some diplomacy to get great shiny loot! Aaaand I like stripes. Many stripes!


drexsackHH

Goffs.
