Hello, I have been playing Warhammer since 1988 when I started with WHFB Empire, then about 1990 I started with Eldar, first as Biel Tan, then Uthwe, and finally as Saim Hann. I also added in High Elves, and Skaven. For the longest time my 40k army was only the Eldar, and I like to think I got really good at them. Then one day the GW in Chicago had a psudo tourney where they chose the army and if you could use their store army to beat their other army you would win 1k of an army of your choice. So I entered my son who was 13 at the time, and coached him on what to move where, etc and he beat the stores nid army by complete massacre in 4 1/2 turns, therefore winning the army. He chose Orks. So over the next few years I helped him build his army to 1750, but he didn't always play them as he still liked his Ultramarines. Then I got transferred to Florida and there were not many WHFB players, but a lot of 40k players, so I played 40k almost exclusively.
Well, time passed, and my son grew up, joined the Navy and when he went he left his Ork army. Now I can't see an army just sitting around going to waste so I fixed them up and repainted/finished painting them and started playing them. I soon gravitated to speed freaks, and was definitely hooked on them when the Armageddon book came out. So I rebuilt the army to be speed freaks. Since then I have added a bit to the army and it is quite large now. I still play my Eldar every few months but I mostly play the Orks as they are just so addicting, and of course we never lose.
So here is my Ork army:
