Ork Boyz are about 2 metres (6'6") tall<sup>1a</sup> and vary greatly in their specific battlefield roles. Ork Boyz who occupy the same field of interest often band together in groups known as '''Mobs''',<sup>2b</sup> frequently these mobs are led by an Ork [[Nob]] who epitomises the group's skills.<sup>2a</sup> The most common variations of Ork Boyz are '''Slugga Boyz''' and '''Shoota Boyz'''<sup>2c</sup> but other, more specialised variants include: ''''Ard Boyz''', '''Burna Boyz''', '''Stikk Bommas''', '''Tankbustas''', '''Lootas''', '''Kommandos''', '''Stormboyz''' and '''Warbikers'''.<sup>1c, 2i, 2j, 2c, 2k</sup>

'''Burna Boyz''' are Orks for whom pyromania has siezed seized control. Not Surprisingly, in [[Ork Culture|Ork Kultur]] these individuals join a Burna Boyz Mob and don [[Burna]]s.

===Kommandos===

'''KommadosKommandos''' represent the Orky virtue of low cunning. Sneaking up behind an enemy and catching them completely by surprise is a source of great joy for Kommandos.

===Warbikers===
:''Main Article:'' [[Warbike|Warbikers]]
The Warbike of a '''Warbiker''' is his own individualised steed. Massive twin-linked [[dakkagunzdakkagun]] z are mounted upon it and the oil it consumes sends great clouds of smoky exhaust fumes out in pillars behind its wheels. Boyz who enjoy riding Warbikes are often [[Speed Freeks]]. Orks who get their adrenaline fix from the speed and uncontrollablility uncontrollability of their bikes.<sup>2h</sup>
Warbikers are armed with [[Slugga]]s and [[Choppa]]s and operate in Mobs of 3 to 12, which may include a [[Nob]].<sup>2k</sup>
