Also, while Marines can fill virtually any role on the battlefield, Orks are an assault army. They couldn't hit a tank in shooting if they were standing next to it. So if you want a shooty army you're going to want Marines. Not that you can't do a shooty Ork army. Lootas are pretty good, but Orks and shooting are something where you need luck on your side.

Generally:

Ork shooting hits on 5+.
Marine Shooting hits on 3+.

Honestly, if you'r thinking about these 2 armies, I'd suggest doing some research on the pros & cons of each before choosing.
For Orks:
www.thewaaagh.com (I THINK that's the web address)

For SM:
www.bolterandchainsword.com

Find out the pros & cons of each before deciding.
