Ok based on what I saw Saturday and this new boxed set, I'm interested in Orks for 5th Ed. Any suggestions on "must have" models for this army. I plan to build and paint as I go and include the new boxed set to create this monster. I have my Eldar to play and let you guys abuse in the meantime. But hope to make this a fun and "pretty" army (darn John G and his painting of the Orks ha ha )

Four mobs of 30 Boyz is a safe start.

After that you're free to season as you please Wink

A mek with a kustom force field generator cant hurt on top of that

allows 5+ cover saves on all those boys. Might not be as needed in 5th, with he 4+ cover saves but i am better it will still be popular.

snikrot and a decent sized mob of kommandos are also a definite must take.
