Codex Orks (Warhammer 40,000)

 (3 customer reviews)

This is a codex, soft cover exactly what you woudl expect from a codex. If you have never seen one before it basically everything you need to know about play, fielding, painting, history, and rules for the Ork race. its very well written with great full color illustrations. It's an obvious must have for anyone playing this race.

This is for the tabletop wargame. If you don't like tabletop wargaming and just saw this book for the first time, realize this, it is a rule book for wargaming. If you are interested in playing Orks in Tabletop buy this book. if your a little bit interested in Ork Lore from reading the book series or playing the video games, you might get something from this book.

As a wargamer expect to spend close to $400 to create a viable army for this game. Since this was one of the last books made in 4th edition before the change to 5th, expect to be using this book for a little bit longer. 6th edition is already on it's way and Orks will not likely get an update anytime soon. There are at least five more armies ready for update before Orks, six if Games workshop decides to update Space Marine's codex again.

Overall I like how the Ork army is setup. They don't have too many side rules mucking about to confuse you, yet they have enough fun mechanics to keep things...Read more

You need it to play. It's laid out better then a lot of the other codexes but has a few errors and inconsistencies. It's a Games Workshop book so it's what you expect.
