So I'm quite a ways off from starting Orks but I was wondering if anyone was using MB rules or minis in their army? They were my favorite part of Orkish armies back in 2nd Edition (the last time I played an Ork army!). If anyone still tinkers around with them let me know what rules and minis you are using please. |

Challenge is the limited HQ slots in a "battle forged" Ork army under the current 7th Edition rules. You get 3 HQ slots in the Ork Codex and using the Ghazghull Supplement increases your Troop and Elite slots but reduces the HQ slots to 2. Adding in a Mad Boy means you leave out who? |

I used to cheat with ig by taking multiple organization charts so I could get more heavy weapons squads |

Don't forget that a lot of ork units can upgrade their noble to Mek boys now. This is the only way to get a larger than normal number of mad boyz which unfortunately have been now lumped into the mek boyz. |

Forgive me for not being familiar with the current Codex, I've ordered it but not received it as of yet. What I recall from the old days is that mad boys were either a troop choice or as a bodyguard for Weird Boyz. I just loved their unpredictability (even for Orks) plus they were fun models back in 2nd edition. |
