    I hope so. I mean orks right now are like the least populated race. If you made all of the premium orks nobz then orks might have a chance one on one with characters of the other factions. Usually it takes a big group of boys to take a medium group of any other race so Mabry premium players are all nobz because they are about the same as a space marine. This is just a thought because I really want to stand out from the free to WAAAGH!!! Boyz.

    Well the b2p orks have access to all the classes from the get go and IMO f2p players shouldn't have access to free cosmetics.

    I do agree that that would be awsome and it would work with lore well but I also plan on pre-ordering this game but I mean what's the point if I am going to be no different from a person that hasn't spent a dime on the game.

  4. Because you will get access to the stronger Ork classes.....If the LSM pop is really high, I will be playing Ork for sure. Think how cool it would be to be surrounded by all the free to play players of the Ork team while playing one of the non-f2p ork classes. You would feel like a Warboss.

    I like the way you think. I would really like that but the closer we get the fewer differences I see between premium and free to WAAAGH!!!

  6. I think the actual Ork classes will be significantly better/stronger/unique than the F2Waagh Orks. Orks are the only race I would play other than LSM, even right now I'm really torn on which to play.

    I really do hope so. I would like to hear that from Brent or Miguel. There is no reason you can't play both though.

  8. Orks might have lots of fun unit types (classes) other than a typical ork boy, such as Weirdboyz, 'Ard Boyz, Lootas, Kommandos, Storm Boyz, etc... It will definitely be worth it, except you are a huge fan of simple choppa boyz :mad:

    I think you should try to get that out of your head. Ork players that will buy the game will not be stronger or inherently better than F2W Orks. They will, however, fill specialist roles like heavy support and fast attack which means that a lot will depend on them supporting the tide of Ork Boyz.

    Also, I don't think leadership will work the way many people seem to presume it will. There is no indication that F2W Orks will not be able to be squad leaders, which might translate to Nobz somehow, or that premium Ork players will at least have precedence to the role (although it is certainly possible). If it is true that each 10 player squad will have a leader we can't be sure that there will be enough premium Orkz that would fill that role for all F2W Ork Boy squads, especially if premium players concentrate in squads of Stormboyz and Lootas.

    Lastly, there are heroes who will certainly not be available to F2W Orks.

    All in all, F2W Orks will not be weaker. Unless we've been lied to.

    It is still too early to say, maybe on June 25th we will learn more but until then this is all speculation...i believe in an interview Miguel mentioned something about F2W orks not being very strong when on their own and that it would take 3-5 boyz to match a space marine in combat....I will look for that source and edit my post when i find it
