The Ork Boyz are the very essence of the Ork army in Warhammer 40,000. They are the most numerous, most enthusiastic, and most chaotic units in any Waaagh! (Ork Crusade).

💚 Ork Boyz: The Green Tide

The Ork Boyz are the typical troop unit ( Battleline ) and make up the bulk of the green flood that sweeps across the battlefield. They are not smart, but they are incredibly aggressive, robust and dangerous in large numbers.

📜 Key Features (10th Edition Rules)

Special rules:

  • Waaagh! (Army Ability): When an Ork player calls Waaagh! in a round, all of their units, including Boyz, gain huge bonuses in melee combat, often +1 to Strength and an extra attack. This is where they really shine.

  • Frenzied Charge: Built for close combat, Boyz often gain a bonus when charging into battle, making them the primary wave to hit enemy lines.

⚔️ Equipment and Weapons

Boyz are flexible and can either focus on melee combat or a mix of melee and shooting.

  • "Shoota" Boyz (Shooters): Equipped with Shootas (assault rifles). These provide a good amount of firepower and are useful for softening up the enemy before an attack.

  • "Slugga" and Choppa Boyz (Melee): Equipped with a Slugga (gun) and a Choppa (axe/sword). The Choppa often provides an extra, more powerful attack in melee. This is the most popular configuration.

  • Boyz Boss: Each unit is led by a more powerful Ork called a Boss Nob . This model can be equipped with stronger melee weapons such as a Power Klaw or a Big Choppa . The Power Klaw is particularly feared as it can tear apart even heavy vehicles.

  • Special Weapons: A unit of Boyz can often include one or two special weapons, such as Big Shootas (heavy machine guns) or Rokkit Launchas (rocket launchers).

📦 The miniature model

The Ork Boyz kit allows you to build 10-11 models (depending on version), including a Boss Nob and the ability to mix and match melee and firearms.

They are one of the cheapest units in the game per wound (Toughness 5 is key) and are essential for overwhelming the opponent with a massive number of green warriors.
