What I've found is that any army becomes boring when it just becomes a bunch of plastic pieces (or metal) that get tossed back in the shoebox when the dice rolls are bad. It's even worse when they LOOK plastic and metal (or merely primed).
Name your Ork Warboss and his Nobs. Name the units. Paint them to a good standard. Keep a record of their exploits on the game table. Work it all into a fluff narrative that has you waiting for the next chapter. If you invest that kind of time and effort into your Orks, I guarantee you're going to enjoy playing with them again.
If painting is a problem for you, consider having a friend or a pro help out. Or simply start small. Develop a campaign that works from a 400/500 pt patrol up to your full 1200+ points on a schedule that allows you to paint-as-you-go. This will also help you develop your warband's history and fluff. Developing a good nemesis, or "favorite enemy" as Orks say, will also renew your enthusiasm.
And don't forget to shout a few good WAAAAGH's and speak with an Orky accent while playing. Remember, you like Orks because they NEVER LOSE. They just grow bigger and then come back for more! :yes:
