I just want better delivery methods to get my boyz into battle. Although having access to multiple FOC's sounds really fun.

If a template weapon hits a building's Fire Point or an Open-Topped vehicle and there is a unit embarked inside that building or vehicle, then in addition to any other effects that unit suffers D6 hits, resolved at the Strength and AP of the weapon. These hits are Randomly Allocated.

Is this real?

If so this is some serious bullshit. It's not like Ork vehicles weren't already a death trap, but now they are one even before they blow up? God I hope the new codex throws Orks a bone.

Mixed feelings on that Ork thing. It's got one thing going for it, it looks like it would be stupidly easy to scratch build one up.

Re: Orks. Why aren't you skipping transports all together and taking loads of Shoota Boys? I still don't understand why hordes of Shoota Boys aren't a list that is often discussed. That it is not fun at all to paint hasn't stopped Imperial Guard hordes, that it isn't fun to play hasn't stopped other horde players.

Orks want to get into combat. If you foot slog you're getting 7-12 inches a turn with run. Or you can move+flat out a fast vehicle and move 24" or move+flat out a normal vehicle and move 18". This plus be immune to small arms fire until you're cracked.

EDIT: Guard can also gets to make blobs that can bring along effective ranged anti tank. Orks pretty much can't.
EDIT2: Guard can also make bigger blobs than Orks (:psyduck:) which doesn't make a drat bit of sense to me personally.

Transport capacity: 6 Orks aren't gonna do poo poo. Maybe you could do some silly stuff with Burnas/Lootas and take a mek or two to let it live longer but without it being an assault vehicle and having no access points the guys inside it are pretty worthless. Plus it's a walker so it's the slowest transport ever.

Guns: It either is shooting crappy anti-armor stuff or slightly less crappy anti-infantry. It's BS2. That awesome gatling gun is heavy 3d6? So an average of 3 or 4 hits per turn. Hot drat!

I like the 13 armor and 5 HP, but it's just not good at anything. No one gives a poo poo about Orks doing massed STR 6 AP 4 shooting because they already have massed STR 7 AP 4 shooting.

It does everything at once, potentially none of it well, and we could see some very, very cool conversions coming out of the kit.

Seems pretty Orky to me.

Oh I'm with you on conversions and I like the model, I just think it is way underpowered for the price/points.

I see people sticking 6 burnaz in the Morkanaut, 3 of which are meks, as well as take the KFF and grot riggers so it's sporting a 5+ invuln, IWND, and repairs immobilized/weapon destroyed on a 4+ up to 3 times. It's not necessarily GOOD, mind you.

Actually, looking at Lootas/Burnaz, it'd be kind of cool if a lot more Ork units could take a mek or two for free. Like even just plain ol' Shoota/Slugga Boyz.

I liked this idea too, then I realized that it's now costing 390 points for a REALLY tough model that is still slow and weak offensively.

That's actually really awesome. As a semi-new dad one of the things I'm sadly really excited about it potentially getting my kid(s) into the game when they're old enough. As fantastic as the fluff is the basic system is a great way to learn and use measurements, statistics, and critical thinking.

That's not even the best part. Sometimes she'll come hang out when I'm modeling and just work on taking the mold lines off of my Orks for an hour.

Honestly it's just messing with my gaming plans. I've got a swapmeet on the 28th, but I'm not going to bother if I don't have a codex to read through first. Same goes for any new models. I'm not buying anything new without knowing the rules since I run this hobby on a tight budget.

But I get bored which means I just go spend my money on other things while GW make me wait.

EDIT: Let's not even start on the upcoming Steam Summer Sale and E3. Just less $$$ for GW stuff.
