===Stormboyz===
:''Main Article:'' [[Stormboyz]]
'''Stormboyz''' are usually younger Orks who for various, inexplicable reasons, have grown tired of the normaly anarchic lifestyle among the regular Ork boyz. Longing for discipline and a place in orkoid society, these youths often run off to join a Stormboyz camp. They are commonly viewed as being nutcases amongst regular Orks since they go into battle with fuel-filled rockets strapped to their backs.<sup>2g</sup> Asides from their [[Jump Pack|Rokkit Pack]]s Stormboyz are equipped with [[Slugga]]s and [[Choppa]]s.
A Stormboyz Mob consists of 5 to 20 Stormboyz which may include a [[Nob]].<sup>2k</sup>
===Tankbustas===
:''Main Article:'' [[Tankbustas]]
Those Orks who've come to feel the thrill of destroying a tank often go on to join a '''Tankbustas''' Mob. Tankbusta Boyz are equipped with [[rokkit launcha]]s, but often finding that missing their targets is extremely frustrating they've developed other anti-tank weapons - [[tankhammer]]s and [[squigs|bomb-squigs]]. For close encounters, Tankbustas are equipped with [[tankbusta bombzTankbusta bomb]]z. These bombs are heavy magnetic discs that are sure to make vehicles explode in a spectacular fashion when attached en-masse.<sup>2b</sup>
A Tankbusta Mob consists of 5 to 15 Tankbusta Boyz which may include a [[Nob]].<sup>2j</sup>
===Madboyz===
Physically identical to other orks, madboyz are not quite the same in the head. Mobs of Madboyz are considered to be a great sign of luck and good fortune for an ork settlement or Waaagh! however their presence is not always appreciated due to their outlandish and idiotic behaviour. Within a settlement Madboyz may spend their time in self-constructed eccentric shanty towns apart from other orks. Here they randomly hold shouting matches at the worst possible moment and search for non-existent lost items in the dwellings of other orks- not wise by any standards given the territorial nature of the race. When they go to battle Madboyz often band together and provide an unintentional retinue for a weirdboy, dressed in bizarre clothing and wielding anything that takes their fancy, from unconventional choppas to rusty buckets filled with pterasquirrels. The unpredictable movements and behaviour of Madboyz has beaten the greatest tacticians as their anarchic unhinged nature means that they are just as likely to pull apart an enemy squad with their bare hands as they are to become engrossed in picking each others noses in the heat of battle.<sup>2l</sup>
===Flyboyz===
*{{Main|Flyboyz}}
'''Flyboyz''' are similar to Ork [[Speed Freak]]s, save for the fact that they get their thrill from flying. Members of the Flyboyz are not satisfied with the high speed of ground based vehicles and thus take to the air as part of their quest for greater acts of exhiliration. <sup>3</sup>
