'''Boyz''' is the [[Ork]] term for the numerous rank and file Ork warriors which form the core of any Ork army.^{{Fn|2a}}

Ork Boyz are about 2 metres (6'6") tall^{{Fn|1a }} 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''',^{{Fn|2b }} frequently these mobs are led by an Ork [[Nob]] who epitomises the group's skills.^{{Fn|2a }} The most common variations of Ork Boyz are '''Slugga Boyz''' and '''Shoota Boyz'''^{{Fn|2c }} but other, more specialised variants include: ''''Ard Boyz''', '''Burna Boyz''', '''Stikk Bommas''', '''Tankbustas''', '''Lootas''', '''Kommandos''', '''Stormboyz''' and '''Warbikers'''.^{{{Fn|1c, }}{{Fn|2i, }}{{Fn|2j, }}{{Fn|2c, }}{{Fn|2k}}}

'Ard Boyz, Shoota Boyz, Slugga Boyz and Stikk Bommas sometimes make use of [[Wartrukk|Trukks]] to get about quickly.^{{Fn|2c}}

:''{{Main Article:'' [[|'Ard Boyz]]}}[[Image:Eavyarmour.jpg|right|thumb|A [['Ard Boy]] wearing 'Eavy Armour^{{Fn|2}}]] ''''Ard Boyz''' cover themselves in thick scrap metal plates that they've scavenged. This is the stuff of their armour and despite poor maintenance, the result is armour than can withstand most small arms fire. This gives the 'Ard Boyz the appearance of walking magnets though it is considered unwise to tell them.^{{Fn|2a }} 'Ard Boyz are equipped with either [[Slugga]]s and [[Choppa]]s or [[Shoota]]s and can equip [[stikkbombz]].

An 'Ard Boyz Mob consists of 10 to 30 'Ard Boyz which may include a [[Nob]]. For every ten Orks in the Mob one might be armed with either a [[big shoota]] or a [[rokkit launcha]].^{{Fn|2c}}

:''{{Main Article:'' [[|Burna Boyz]]}}[[Image:Burna Boy.jpg|thumb|right|A Burna Boy.^{{Fn|2}}]]'''Burna Boyz''' are Orks for whom pyromania has seized control. Not Surprisingly, in [[Ork Culture|Ork Kultur]] these individuals join a Burna Boyz Mob and don [[Burna]]s. To pull their weight in [[teef]], Burna Boyz often help Meks with their work to detract attention from the accidents they and their weapons are responsible for.^{{Fn|2d}}

A Burna Boyz Mob consists of 5 to 15 Burna Boyz, up to three of which may be [[Mek]]s.^{{Fn|2i}}

:''{{Main Article:'' [[|Kommandos]]}}'''Kommandos''' 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. Kommandos are antisocial Orks whose Mobs work separately from their parent Warbands. They are stealthy operatives, cutting enemy lines of communication and sabotaging weapon emplacements.^{{Fn|2e }} Kommandos are equipped with [[Slugga]]s, [[Choppa]]s and [[Stikkbombz]].

A Kommando Mob consists of 5 to 15 Kommandos which may include a [[Nob]]. Up to two Kommandos in a Mob may be armed with either a [[big shoota]], [[rokkit launcha]] or [[burna]] each.^{{Fn|2j}}

:''{{Main Article:'' [[|Lootas]]}}[[Image:Ork Loota.jpg|thumb|right|An Ork Loota Boy with a [[Deffguns]].^{{Fn|2}}]]'''Lootas''' are the most heavily armed of all Orks, gaining their impressive arsenal from those they've stolen from. No one is safe from a light-fingered Loota Mob, even other Orks are at risk. Lootas are equipped with [[Deffguns]], pinnacles of Orkish weaponry crafted by the Mekboyz, who will often accompany the Lootas into battle to see their creations in action.^{{Fn|2f}}

A Mob of Lootas consists of 5 to 15 Lootas, up to three of which may be [[Mek]]s.^{{Fn|2j}}

Ork Boyz with a preference for the shooty side of combat are called '''Shoota Boyz''' and are armed with [[shoota]]s instead of the basic slugga and choppa. Shoota Boyz however, have no appreciation for marksmanship, and are more addicted to the violent noise and heavy recoil of automatic gunfire. This is psychologically due to Ork belief that a firearm won't cause any real damage unless it makes a loud, terrifying noise.^{{Fn|2a}}

A Shoota Boyz Mob consists of 10 to 30 Shoota Boyz which may include a [[Nob]]. For every ten Orks in the Mob one might be armed with either a [[big shoota]] or a [[rokkit launcha]].^{{Fn|2c}}

'''Slugga Boyz''' are generally armed with heavy, solid-shot pistols known as [[slugga]]s and brutal melee weapons known as [[choppa]]s. A few scraps of [[flak armour|flak jacket]] and a shoulder/back plate with the Ork's insignia make up the poorly maintained armour of a Slugga Boy. These are the most common and typical Orks, incarnating orkish nature at its most innate level. Anarchic brutes that love nothing more than a good fight, often leaving a horrific mess of whatever they attack on the battlefield.^{{Fn|2a}}

A Slugga Boyz Mob consists of 10 to 30 Slugga Boyz which may include a [[Nob]]. For every ten Orks in the Mob one might be armed with either a [[big shoota]] or a [[rokkit launcha]].^{{Fn|2c}}

:''{{Main Article:'' [[|Stikk Bommas]]}}

A Stikk Bommas Mob consists of 10 to 30 Stikk Bommas which may include a [[Nob]].^{{Fn|1b}}

:''{{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.^{{Fn|2g }} 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]].^{{Fn|2k}}

:''{{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 bomb]]z. These bombs are heavy magnetic discs that are sure to make vehicles explode in a spectacular fashion when attached en-masse.^{{Fn|2b}}

A Tankbusta Mob consists of 5 to 15 Tankbusta Boyz which may include a [[Nob]].^{{Fn|2j}}

:''{{Main Article:'' [[|Warbike|Warbikers]]}}The Warbike of a '''Warbiker''' is his own individualised steed. Massive twin-linked [[dakkaguns]] 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 uncontrollability of their bikes.^{{Fn|2h}}

Warbikers are armed with [[Slugga]]s and [[Choppa]]s and operate in Mobs of 3 to 12, which may include a [[Nob]].^{{Fn|2k }}

{{Main|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.^{{Fn|2l}}

*{{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. ^{{Fn|3}}
