An Idea for an Ork hero class came to mind. Those familiar with the Ork fluff from the 7th edition codex will remember the text about Ghaz and his great WAAAGH. The amount of orks that will eventually be a part of this Waaagh will be nothing ever before seen in the 40k universe. What if, from the resulting waaagh energy, a new type of weirdboy or even oddboy was created from this? For oddboys this could be somthing like a DNA encoding that makes the Ork a better fighter in groups of other oddboys/weirdboys where they feed off each others waaagh energy! (increasing stamina, HP, psyker abilities etc...) Weird Boys could use the same ability but use it more actively against enimies, such as a zzap effect or a shokk attack gun effect! Any other Ork enthusiasts have some more ideas?
A warboss, weirdboy, commando, some kind of mech ork, that sort of thing. Orks are pretty flexible, you can make anything a hero as long as its an ork.
This. Coupled with the fact that Orkz never stop growing, the successful ones are more or less predestined to be "heroes". Even a mere sluggaboy may eventually grow into a Waaaghboss with Kustom Armor and whatnot. Actually, he even has to - all those Waaaghbossess have to come from here, after all.
Dey needz ta put da Warboss in dere an dey make im even moar badass boss by given im triple rokets on im lik a STORMBOSS!! O.O WAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
No offence, but I think you guys miss the point - A "Hero" class is like a Special Character in the tabletop, a, well, special guy with unique rules. Were an Elite might be Nobz, Weirdboyz and the like, Heroes could be Warbosses, Skarboyz and Big Mekz, you know, guys who got to be Heroes because they got there through experience, mucking about and stomping smaller gits. SM examples could be Honour Guards, CSM Chaos Lords and Eldar Farseers. They are better than the others but cost more and can't be used all the time like Core and Elite models. Listen to me, because I have seen the truth, and it is glorious.
Heroes will be in Eternal Crusade (yay ). Hopefully they'll be clever-selected on a turn-based interval system (who is eligible most). Maybe the names of these Heroes, except some few of each army, could be an extension of your original name with a title or not. Because MMO.
Der shud be a Warlordy type o' Ork. Nah jus' a Warboss, a Warlord! Der gotta be un in dis 'ere WAAAAGH!
