There's no point for lootas to take rokkit launcha cause deffgun are already anti anything firing shots, rokkits as even energy blasts (plasma). They should make it as a mega orkish kombi weapon : ] Hence I think such a list could be interesting : - nob with waaagh banner for dedicated buffing melee class - ork boy equipped with choppa and slugga, shoota, big shoota or rokkit launcha - mekboy equipped with deffgun > loota ; equipped with burna > burna boy ; equipped with mek tools > mek - stormboy - painboy
Well we have the 'eavy class Which is a loota when equipping deffgun and becomes a tankbusta when equipping rokkit loncha Its easier then making a class around each weapon
Yep, more easier, and more accurate for the lore. I mean, a Loota dosen't have anti-tank bombs, and a tankbusta dosen't have a big dakka gun. That dosen't make the Loota useless againt tanks, he could carry a plasma weapon or a Zaap gun (or looted lase canon). And the tankbusta is more efficient in his main task.
Alright new plan! We take a 'uge pile o gunz an choppas an den we put it in da centa of da map and den we all charge da pile an den we take wat we want ow does dat sound?
If I might point out, what is a loota or a tankbusta but a boy with a very specific tastes in weaponry? I really do in fact enjoy the idea of boyz being pretty much the base class, and the customization coming from the individual orks individual tastes in how he wants to bring destruction to his enemies.
Well Orks aren't regimented or organized for that matter And they have no means of mass production, or even a need for it So as far as Orks go, classes and weapons should feel very personalized because your load out is determined by how much teef you have and what your interests are in.
Building an ork army is not that loose to make, there are rules thus a codex. Hence orks can be clustered around same interest, which is the best way to build classes imo : - This is why I regrouped mek, loota and burna in the same class because they all share the same interest for mechanic as big guns. Not to mention there's actually no point in making a mek class all alone for loadout sake. - Stormboyz like speed, - painboyz like to butcher other orks, allies or foes alike, - ork boys is the mob who like to rush in while stomping and firing smaller guns up to big shoota and rokkit launcha, according to codex. The rokkit launcha could totally play the role of melta gun of marines with a theorical longer range but a terrible accuracy : meaning it would be used at close/mid range to be actually efficient. The big shoota would be the actual counter to stormbolter for dealing good damage as being more handy than a deffgun, shootah would be the bolter/stalker bolter counter. Also the default loadout of slugga and choppa should be kept for ork boyz to be the fastest to run and better at melee since slugga are meant to be used as melee weapon (not dual wielding but hitting faster than a marine for using the choppa and then the slugga in loop : ] ) as carrying more stikkbombs for example ; shoota or rokkit launcha loadouts should run at average speed with one bomb ; big shoota should run at slightly lower speed with no bomb. Nevertheless I agree orks should be way more free in their loadout than marines, since they don't have to follow a codex. So an ork boy equipped with rokkit launcha should be able to trade his choppa for a tankhammer and his stikkybomb for a tankbusta bomb for example, making the player a very specialised tank busta.
Well, I was rather surprised to see the orks fans being rather apathic if not totally ignoring their own roster, considering the one listed seems totally outdated now. Since I've found nothing in other threads, I've proposed mine, hoping to see more suggestions from true orks lovers. Not to mention I'll certainly play an ork as well as other characters... My tau frustration leads me to eldar as orks alike : cause tau and kroots stand as one. Finally anyone can pretend liking orks, but actually knowing orks is quite another thing.
