Codex: Orks is the essential English-language guide to collecting, commanding and unleashing the violent greenskin hordes of Warhammer 40,000.

Product description
Gather the Boyz, prepare your biggest guns and lead an unstoppable Waaagh! with Codex: Orks, a comprehensive hardback guide to the armies, culture and warfare of the greenskins.

This 152-page book explores Ork civilisation, legendary conflicts and the chaotic organisation of greenskin armies. It covers everything from small planetary raiding forces to enormous Waaaghs! capable of devastating entire star systems.

The codex combines faction background, atmospheric artwork, miniature galleries and game rules for commanding an Ork army in Matched Play, Crusade and Combat Patrol games of Warhammer 40,000.

The brutal history of the Orks
Discover stories of legendary Ork invasions, destructive campaigns and supposedly covert greenskin operations conducted throughout the galaxy.

The book examines the rise of mighty Warbosses, the formation of vast Waaaghs! and the violent adventures of Ork warbands searching for increasingly dangerous opponents.

These tales present the destructive scale, dark humour and reckless enthusiasm that make the Orks one of the most distinctive factions in Warhammer 40,000.

Ork society and kulturs
Explore the unusual structure of Ork society and learn how greenskins organise themselves into mobs, warbands and enormous invading hordes.

The codex explains the roles of Boyz, Nobz, Warbosses, Meks, Painboyz, Speed Freeks and other specialists who contribute to the success of an Ork army.

It also examines Ork kulturs and the different obsessions that influence how individual greenskins fight, construct machinery and seek status among their rivals.

Army rules
Codex: Orks contains the faction rules required to command an Ork army in games of Warhammer 40,000.

The book provides rules for organising your collection, fielding Ork units and representing the aggressive battlefield tactics of a greenskin Waaagh!

It is designed for players developing a new Ork force as well as experienced collectors expanding an established army with additional units and strategies.

Matched Play content
The codex includes rules intended for structured Matched Play games, allowing you to organise an Ork army for balanced battles against other Warhammer 40,000 factions.

Dedicated objectives and faction content reflect the direct, destructive and unpredictable methods used by Ork commanders.

Rules publications may receive official updates, balance changes and errata, so players should also consult the latest Games Workshop resources when preparing for a game.

Crusade campaigns
Dedicated Crusade rules allow you to develop an Ork army across a series of linked narrative battles.

Your warriors can gain experience, accumulate trophies and grow into an increasingly dangerous Waaagh! as the campaign progresses.

This section provides a thematic framework for creating stories around ambitious Warbosses, brutal rivalries and escalating greenskin invasions.

Combat Patrol games
The book contains content for commanding an Ork force in fast and accessible Combat Patrol battles.

Combat Patrol is ideal for newer players learning the game, collectors beginning an Ork army or experienced commanders looking for battles using compact, pre-arranged forces.

The smaller format allows the essential character of an Ork army to be experienced without requiring a large miniature collection.

Artwork and miniature galleries
Codex: Orks contains atmospheric artwork depicting greenskin invasions, roaring war machines and enormous mobs charging through the battlefields of the far future.

Galleries of painted Citadel miniatures provide inspiration for Ork skin tones, Clan colours, checks, glyphs, rusted machinery and heavily weathered equipment.

The featured armies demonstrate how infantry, vehicles, monsters and characters can be combined into a visually coherent Ork collection.

Warhammer 40,000 app code
The book includes a one-use code for unlocking Codex: Orks content in Warhammer 40,000: The App.

The code is intended for a single activation. Availability of an unused code cannot be guaranteed when purchasing a previously owned or opened copy.

Background
Orks are violent, resilient and endlessly enthusiastic warriors who spread across the galaxy in search of territory, loot and increasingly spectacular battles.

Their armies range from small raiding bands to enormous Waaaghs! consisting of countless infantry mobs, crude vehicles, towering walkers and unpredictable weapons created by eccentric Meks.

Ork technology appears crude and unstable, but greenskin machines can become devastatingly effective when supported by sufficient noise, speed and belief.

Although rivalry and disorder are constant features of Ork society, a sufficiently powerful Warboss can unite vast numbers of greenskins into a force capable of threatening entire planetary systems.
