  1. mindless Largo First Blood!

    last patch... its nightmare some... lost 3-5 of matches in a row, there was a feeling that we were beaten as infants...

    this incredible nonsense.. expect the next patch, there may fix this

    With horde armies they can do AI buddies, like what they did in dead space. Say every ork shoota or slugga boy player gets to have 3 or 4 AI models that follow them around and assist them in battle. If there are 5 space marine players and 5 ork players, if they get AI buddies you end up with 5 Space Marines VS 20 Orks.
  3. This could go one of two ways:

    1. The AI is scripted so that they are very easy to kill and aim pretty bad, making them nothing more then fancy meat shields

    2. The AI is scripted anything above terrible causing the entire community to call out out OP
  4. *sigh*

    Let's get this over with.

    Firstly, Orks are going to be just as strong as the other factions, and have the same kind of versatility. Imagine Ork players to be Skarboys (veteran Boyz), just like Eldar are veterans (Aspect Warriors) and Marines are Sternguard and Vanguard. We'll be the same strength level as any other.

    Secondly, in no fluff, other than biased elitist Eldar/Marine fluff are Orks weaker than the individual Space Marine. They have the same physicality, the same levels of strength as Marines, and often wear armour and use weapons roughly similar to Bolters and Power Armor. An Ork horde or mob is just a huge assembly of these guys; not an example of their weakness. Orks just like to be in huge groups.

    Stop spouting nonsens like 'Orks should play a group' or 'Orks are weaker on all accounts' - it's not true. It's seems that way, surely, when the protagonist has plot armour the size of New Guinea, but it's not true. Stop it.
