Orks

[El Capitan]

ive just aquired a copy of the 4th ed. ork codex. what theyve done is break out the clan titles and arranged the ork army in a more logical way, ie having close combat mobs etc.
the tribes are now chosen as a global theme for an army, so it does away with the notion of a few boyz from every tribe turning up. Certianly there could be a mix of tribes but this way armies ar emore themed. the list is more logical etc etc

i suggest converting the 2nd ed. ork list into this format, i wont take much effort

[Simon]

How do you mean?

I take it you would just rename the units to make them fit a more organised theme...

[El Capitan]

i've been lookin back on this again. I'll draft up a list that follows the fantasy orcs & goblins with the 4th ed units with the 2nd ed rules. The have the clans as special abilties etc

Hey Mike let me know when you get the list finished I have always tried to play a single clan army and sometimes its hard to do.

[El Capitan]

Its one of those things which is written out on papaer and will be amalgamated into a fully typed army list soon enough. I'll put it high on the priority list anyhow and try and have it done before the end of the month.
The list wouldnt change army picked using existing lists really, its more to open it out into a more orky list ( and put a stop to some ridicolous combo's! ) At the moment were still working on clan specific rules, ill post some ideas for feedback soon enough

[carcerdominus]

have you looked at the 3 rogue trader Ork books they have a few ideas for different aspects of Orks characters.

[El Capitan]

Never had a chance to see much Rogue trader stuff to be honest. I'll put up the current ideas when i get back to Ormskirk (i'm in Liverpool at the mo) and see what you make of them

You can down load almost all of the rogue trader books from www.emule-project.net/home/perl/general.cgi?l=1&rm=download look under global servers these books are where GW still gets most of their pictures and text in their new books it will suprise you how much they just reprint.
