I think giving Orks a sniper weapon/class would be a tad un-orky. If you wanted to balance it against a class that used a sniper rifle there are a couple of ways to do it that I can think of off the top of my head: Make snipers weapons weak (low damage/ROF/other in exchange for long range) Make snipers highly specialised (sniper weapons only available in certain areas/other) Make Orks have damage resistance to snipers ( e.g 50% damage from sniper weapons) Remove sniper class from all classes. As far as giving orks a long ranged class, lootas would full that role just fine I think.
Blood Axes are a bit un-orky. They are trying to organize their hordes, trade with other races. Why can't they steal the idea of sniper weapon?
i fink dat a znippa dakka iz betta fer a grot klass. anywaya, if i find'a kampin humie znippa, i'zt gonna zomp rigtha in front'o eez faze, EH EH AH!
If you want to root out a sniper, you just need to be a stormboy or a kommando. If it's heavily fortified, it can be smashed down by the tougher classes like nobs/meganobs or long range artillery.
I'm not sure if they're actually mentioned all that frequently, but I'm glad you guys thought of grot snipers as well. I know they're mentioned in at least one novel: Rebel Winter by Steve Parker. I was going to suggest them as well, but then we'd need grots as well.
Sometimes I have a strange wish to change side and play as one of orks. Fight just for fight! This is very strange...
You should do it! DO IT, YA GIT! Don't ya wanna get stuck in wiff da boyz?! We'z got sum uv da biggest choppas, an' our shootas haz got da most dakka.
This is an ork sniper rifle, extra shooty version. Ork sniper rifle for the discerning, professional Kommando. Comes with a stabby bit for close(r) encounters!
