 Well, orks come at you in masse, just ask Mr. Looney. Their detachments
are incredibly huge for the points. After a total smack in the face with
2000pts using small detachments I realized something. You can have as
many good, high quality troops that you want, but against somebody that
outnumbers you usually 3 to 1, you must either be a genius tactician or
have screening troops. Even though attack bikes are not the cheapest
screeners out there, with 2 FP, they really help when its time to hit
back. Well, thats about all I can really spew forth at this time, trying
to get at least 3000 pts painted really makes your brain into pudding.

  BTW, off topic, does any one else use spray paint for base coats? I
dont mind so much the black, red, and silver highlights, its just all
the yellow....I see it in my deams for petes sake. Any suggestions?

  And hey, good luck guy, do us Marine players proud!
