Orks are some of the strongest units in Warhammer 40K, and these are some of the best ranked ones to pick from.
Orks or Greenskins make up some of the wildest armies in Warhammer 40K, proving that quantity is better than quality. Relying on recklessness that borders on the efficient, Warhammer 40K players who want to overwhelm enemy foes with sheer numbers, shock tactics, and pure mayhem can’t go wrong with an Ork army.
However, because Ork armies tend to be chaotic doesn’t mean they’re inefficient when the going gets tough. With the correct Ork units, even the most formidable enemy vehicle or tank can’t withstand the might of the Waaagh! Which Ork units in the grimdark world of Warhammer 40K compensate for their lack of firepower with combat utility and make it to the top of the food chain? 10 Squighog Boyz
Gretchins accompany Orks among the Beast Snaggas who become Squighog Boyz as they ride the monstrous Squigs in combat. Although not as fast as the Warbike and not as large as the Kill Rig, their Toughness allows them to get into the thick of battle and potentially damage everything in their field of vision once they charge.
Squighog Boyz of the Ork Warhammer 40K faction enjoy a plethora of melee (Saddlegit Weapons, Squighog Jaws) and ranged (Saddlegit Weapons, Strikka) weapons that enable them to attack opponents at whichever configuration they desire. Every three models in the unit give them a Bomb Squig, a deadly ordinance that can debilitate enemy forces and cause additional damage to vehicles. 9 Dakkajet
The carelessly aggressive Orks should avoid the skies in their Warhammer 40K gameplay, but the Dakkajet embodies Ork aerial domination through horrifying recklessness. Each Mekboy adds a unique flavor to their Dakkajet design, but all of these aircraft are equipped to get as fast as possible while fitting as many weapons as physically viable. As a result, Dakkajets have insane thrust but are hard to move (Supersonic), though this surprisingly also makes them difficult to hit (Hard to Hit).
When used as a unit, each Dakkajet is equipped with four Supa-Shootas, although two more could be added for more firepower. This works well with the More Dakka (Kustom Job), as an attacking Dakkajet has a chance of firing all their weapons at once. At 100 Points, the Dakkajet is quite the expendable asset that offers a lot of combat utility compared to other aerial units. 8 Warbikers
Bikerboyz or Warbikers of the Kult of Speed are velocity addicts that can’t resist racing at suicidal speeds, with the likes of legendary Warbiker Wazdakka Gutsmek more than willing to scout the battlefield to trigger traps and catch enemies off-guard. As a Warhammer 40K unit, players can attach various weapons to both Warbikers and their Boss Nob on Warbike, reflecting how Warbikerz don’t even care if their weapons are too heavy for their Warbikes — if their bikes swerve uncontrollably while firing, it’s part of the fun.
What makes Warbikers a potent Ork unit is how speed is used to their advantage. Thick smoke belching from their Warbikes makes them hard to hit (Cloud of Smoke), and the roaring of unstable engines means they go uncontrollably fast to maneuver (Big Red Button). Depending on the type of Warbiker, they can even move immediately after shooting a la hit-and-run (Drive By Dakka, Evil Sunz) and even shoot while Falling Back (More Gitz Over ‘Ere).
