[[Ork]] '''Stormboyz''' are the equivalent of greenskin shock troops. They have discipline above that of the average Ork and are more efficient , too. Commonly However, they are commonly viewed as being nutcases amongst by "regular " Orks since they go into battle with fuel-filled rockets strapped to their backs. Orks usually distrust anything that flies and prefer to go to battle on their own two legs, but Stormboyz love nothing more than joining battle quickly, part of the reason they strap rockets to their backs.{{Fn|1}}
Repeated source.
==Description and Abilities==
Most Stormboyz are usually [[Yoof|younger Orks]] who for various, inexplicable reasons, have grown tired of the normally anarchic lifestyle among the regular [[Ork boyz]]. Tired of being told that they can do whatever they want they seek the way to rebel against typical Ork lifestyle. Longing for discipline, these youths often run off to join a Stormboyz camp. This is particularly typical of the youths of the [[Goffs]] and [[Blood Axe]] [[Ork Clans|clans]].{{Fn|1}}
While at these camps the young Orks are drilled in marching and hurtling through the air, a regimental lifestyle that these Orks can become easily addicted to. It may be due to their chosen lifestyle that Ork Stormboyz have an actual respect for authority rare in [[Ork Culture|Ork Kultur]]. Unlike most Orks, Stormboyz also take planning and forethought very seriously. Such information as strength and location of the foe are used by the Stormboyz to determine how best to orchestrate their attack.{{Fn|1}}
An example of a famous, or rather in this case, infamous Stormboy is Boss [[Zagstruk]], the ruthless leader of a band of Stormboyz known as [[Vulcha Squad]]. His reputation for being a merciless killer and a fanatical disciplinarian is the very manifestation of the Stormboyz doctrine.{{Fn|1}}

==Equipment==
In battle Stormboyz make heavy use of [[Rokkit Pack]]s, that allow them to jump high into the air. However , these pieces of equipment are volitate volatile and unreliable, and many times are known to malfunction and send the Stormboy corkscrewing into the distance or ploughing into the ground, much to the entertaining entertainment of his comrades.{{Fn|117}} For armament, Stormboyz typically carry a [[Slugga]], [[Choppa]] and a number of [[Stikkbomb]]s.{{Fn|1}}
