I fell in luv with da bloodaxes afta readen da novel "Baneblade." Blood Axes have been known to ally with other races to include humans and other less known aliens. To quote Evil Sunz Rising, ["Grukk stalked back to his throne, flinging his arm in the direction of the dead mek, "Take that away! Snakebite mek. Gah! What use are they anyway? Want gunz! Want Tankz! Want Stompaz! - not a better squiggoth saddle." He sat down heavily, "Now get out!!!" he roared. They got out, trying hard not to look like they were hurrying. "Zogging maniac," said Uggrim to Skarbutkin. Very quietly. I have no doubt that snakebites have a ton of orky kulture and use normal weapons like any other klan, but each klan has its own part of ork kulture. Blood axes theme can be represented by actual table top units. Snakes bits in my mind would just be a skin and may have a few unique buffs. So it comes down to how you want your ork to look. Well they might offer all kinds of armors on the store page. Without knowing what you will get with the klans, i.e. special abilities it really comes to preference. I prefer Blood Axes, because I love all the dakka, and bombs, and goggles, and gas masks and ammo belts that kommandos wear. Either blood axe army or Snakebite army it comes down to look. I play table top as often as I can which is not often but often enough to know how the rules are layed out. It doesn't matter what klan you use, the klans offer just really color scheme. The klans are there to give you a possible theme. My primary army is Goff theme, I have a side Bad Moons army which is meganobs, deffguns, gorkanauts, etc. I have a Blood Axe army with lots of Kommandos, I have a Deathskullz army with lots of looted tanks and dreads, kans, and Meks. I could have made the entire army one color scheme the rules would not change. Except the red ones go fasta and that's it. I would choose the klan that you like the most based on its look or theme. I wouldn't put any money down on all the special abilities each army will bring or vehicles for that matter. If you like snakebites because you like the old ways are best and the more tribal look, Go snakebites!! If you like orky Kommandos look, and kunnin tactics, got Blood Axes!!
My Tabletop Ork Army is WAAAGH! Gulgrim. 'E'z a Freeboota with aspirations of leadin' the biggest, most dangerous WAAAGH! In the sector, an' any git wot doesn't want to get krumped better point him to a better krumpin' target. Gulgrim's a Freeboota Blood Axe boss. His army is composed of Orks from every klan. His lootas are deffskulls, his boyz are goffs, his bikerz are evil sunz, etc etc. The big things I've pulled from the Snakebites for that army are the big animals and the runtherds. Sadly those things aren't gonna be in the game, at least at first. But If I'm gonna be Gulgrim Bonecruncha in this game, I gotta get my Blood Axes goin'.
