'Ard Boyz
From Lexicanum
'Ardboyz are heavily armored Ork Boyz who own and wear 'Eavy Armour.
Only veterans who have managed to survive many battles and slaughtered many foes have the chance to scavenge sufficient materials to build or purchase such an Armour. This also means that 'Ardboyz are excellent scavengers even above the normal Ork ability.
Fighting Strategy
They usually spearhead Ork advances as their increased durability allows them to survive heavy fire fights with barely a scratch.
Mobs of 'Ardboyz retain all the versatility of classic Boyz mobs, thus being able to fill the roles of Shoota Mobs or Slugga Mobs, but usually go for the latter, as their armour proves more useful when close to the enemy.
Social Role
In the Ork hierarchy they tend to hold a position just below Nobs (though given the unpredictability and flexibility of Orks this is not a hard rule).
More techno-hesitant Ork Clanz (such as the Snakebites) tend to look down upon 'Ard boyz, seeing their love for heavy armor as a sign of weakness and cowardice. 'Ard Boyz are more frequent among the Bad Moons and Deathskulls clanz, as they both of those Clanz tend to be naturally wealthy or streetwise enough to gather the materials for the armor.
They usually grow arrogant and laugh at their less-armored comrade casualties, which in turn call them "walking magnets" (referring to their attitude to pick up scraps for their armor as they proceed in the battle) when not heard.
