    Burnas and tankbustas are very important on the battlefield but we don`t know any info about them. Should they be orkboy/nob with rokkit launcha or flamethrower or lootaboy or event special class? what is your opinion.

    Most of the Ork players believe that the Ork boy ( the F2P / F2Waaagh ) will have the option to the weapons that you have mentioned.

    We know that the boys in EC get basic weapons range. So now the question is what are the basic weapons for an Ork boy?

    We can easily come to conclusion if we look at the sprue of the Ork Boyz kit. We get:
    *Choppas + Sluggas > Slugga Boyz
    * Shootas > Shoota Boyz
    * Rokkitz + Tank Minez (both Slugga and Shootas can take this on TT version ) > Rokkit Boyz or Tank Bustas
    * Big Shoota > Big Shoota boy ??? lol I just made that up WHAT ELSE DO YA EXPECT TO CALL EM???
    * Stick bombz > Stickbommaz
    * Ard bitz > Ard boyz makes them lot less squishy **SLAP!** NO ORK IZ SQUISHY ITZ JUST THAT SOME ORKS ARE MORE TUFFER THAN OTHER ORKS.

    I wont be surprised if the Burna is thrown in as well ( though its not in the boyz kit box, nor and upgrade for the boyz) But not very long ago it was a common practice to have a Slugga or Shoota boy to be upgraded to a Boy with a Burna.( TT history) To the point that both DOW video games ( 1 and 2) has the Burna upgrade for the Slugga Boyz.

    I am not sure if the normal Boyz will get Burnas or Ard Armor but I'm sure the rest of the gubbinz will be available for them.

    Lootaz are a separate class in EC. So No. Boyz wont get those Big Dakka Gunz / Deff gunz.

    I didn't mean to kill anything. but I am sorry if my actions lead to the death of this conversation.

    All I meant to do was help.

    But look at the bright side:
    In the end this is an Ork thread you can't kill it.

    Ork threads have a tendency of straying away from the topic at hand. I'm sure this thread will live on, may be not the way it was meant to but in a different direction.

    That is true mustibatkhan. I think burnas should have a minor ability to repair vehicles because in the lore they can weld together bits and pieces of metal and fix vehicles. Also how should flames ammo work it's probably trivial but it's always something that has bugged me. Does the flamer have a bar or individual units of fuel it uses ? Any way it should use flamer ammo to use the repair thing which should be a perk.
  6. Wasn't it rumoured that there wouldn't be flamer weapons at launch anyway? :(

    Well we already know that boyz will have burnaz but i really want them for us Nobz and Meks (Because i want to burn stuff. ) Since burnaz are inventions of Meks i don't see a reason we shouldn't have bigger burnaz or even Skorcaz for Meks and Big Meks. It would be cool to make our own "burnin' brew". Also it would be REALLY cool to have some kombi shoota-skorcha for the nobz..
