I don't give them gargants or ork veichles, I only give them imperial
veichles and one titan per stormboyz "clan". One thing I forgot to mention
was that each "Kaptin" takes three stands of stormboyz and they act like a
seperate detactment. They can join one of the other five detactments
permanatly or for a turn while they boost there numbers. the two detactments
can take\qive squads of stormboyz to each other. You can have more then two
detactments join. The stormboyz in there detactments all followed there
kaptain

Also given that orks can't really tell the difference between chaos space
marines and normal space marines I could give the clan a chaos titan instead
of a space marine titan..... send me your ideas on that one...
