CODEX: ORKS
Unleash a mighty Waaagh! with Codex: Orks, the essential faction supplement for collecting, building, painting, and playing Ork armies in Warhammer 40,000.
Orks are among the strongest, toughest, loudest, and most enthusiastically destructive species in the galaxy. Massive mobs of Boyz charge toward the enemy while firing wildly, ramshackle vehicles race ahead at dangerous speeds, Beast Snaggas hunt enormous prey, and lumbering war machines unleash staggering amounts of dakka.
For Orks, warfare isn't a tragedy.
It's the best thing imaginable.
This 176-page softcover Codex combines extensive faction lore and hobby inspiration with the complete army rules needed to command an Ork force on the tabletop. With 15 Detachments and 54 Datasheets, players have extensive options for building everything from massive green hordes to Speed Freek convoys, heavily armed Bad Moons, Beast Snagga hunting parties, and other thematic Waaaghs!
Everything You Need to Start a Waaagh!
Codex: Orks is designed as the primary faction reference for Warhammer 40,000 Ork players.
Inside you'll find background material exploring Ork society and warfare, inspiring army photography, painting and collecting advice, and extensive tabletop rules for building your force.
Whether you're starting your first mob or commanding an enormous existing collection, the Codex provides the tools and inspiration needed to get your greenskins ready for battle.
