Rules: Cleave 2
(Cleave is like Blast but for melee, so +2 attacks for every 5 enemy models in target unit. 10 man enemy unit? +4 attacks!)

Abilities

Tide of Muscle

In the Fight Phase, if this unit Charged, their melee attacks have Lethal Hits.
(Thus being able to wound anything on a Hit roll of a 6.)

Never too Busy to Fight

Being engaged in melee does not prevent this unit from being able to perform an Action
(Actions are needed to complete objectives. Usually you should be eligible to shoot if you can do an action so being in engagement takes this away.)

Ammo Runts

Once per Battle, per unit, this unit can use their Ammo Runts and gain +1 to Hit rolls in shooting.

Conclusion

Ork Boyz are the cornerstone of the Ork Horde. They can easily deal damage in melee and even have fairly decent shooting with a lot of numbers behind scoring a hit. Against the correct enemy targets they can deal a lot of damage.

They are also good at taking objectives.

All Orks can re-roll Advances and they can Advance and Shoot/Charge when they are Riled Up otherwise I would say that their only main weakensses are mobility and armor.

Their save is low but T5 is fairly tough!

Thank you for reading! On to the next one!
