As an IG blob player, I would go for Sang priests. Seems like a good buff for Guards units.

Other than that, pretty much anything with a psychic hood.

As a Grey Kbight player, fluffwise I can have more or less anything. I could even get Eldar or Necron tech like EMLs or Tesserect Labirynths.

But seriously what I want is Basilisks for long range firepower.

FNP isn't that useful on a unit with T3.

Farseer. Farseer in any army.

If your army could make use of rerolls for anything on a unit that can pick individual models out in shooting or close combat with a S9 weapon against vehicles on a model with an invul save.

Good for anything, good for any army.

    I don't even play those last two armies, but I can imagine those would be cool things to have I'd like something fast that can zoom around the board and pew pew things, maybe pop a tank or pew pew at MEQ units. Everything in CSM is too slow, IMO

    I've never used land speeders before, but I can imagine they would be useful for that purpose, besides not having a flickerfield.

    CSM - A toss-up between Drop Pods, a corrupt Librarian (if only for the Psychic Hood which Chaos Sorcerers don't seem to get...), and Razorbacks.

    They already have the first in the form of Dreadclaws, but they're Apocalypse only, they need some form of psychic defence, and Razorbacks... they're similar to TH/SS in that I cannot fathom why they don't have them, at least in a a small quantity.

    One might assume that at least one or two THs/SSs can be salvaged from conflicts against their loyalist brethren, but Razorbacks aren't even that technical, it's only a Rhino with a weapon on the back of it. If they can field Predators, it means they have th capacity and knowledge to mount weaponry on a Rhino chassis (albeit with frontal reinforcement(, so it's not as if it's beyond their capabilties.

    Tau - Unsure about the unit, they don't really need a specific enemy unit. They're not meant to have much CC, and they're not psykers. The only thing I can think of are Guardsmen as Gue'vesa; they'd fill the role of squad-based support and heavy weaponry that the Tau do not approve of, just as Kroot fill the CC role.

    The ability to field certain heavy and special weapons in troops units would give Tau a bit more versatility that GW seem to be aiming for in their newer books.

    Eldar - Force Weapons to give Warlocks and Farseers more combat-punch (there's an army of force weapons, what's 0-2 expensive squads with them in another army?), perhaps the ability to choose between wounding on 2s with AS allowed, and Force Weapons, depending on how they channel their psychic potential.

    Either that or a Land Raider, but not for the AV14, just for the Assault Ramp. Why give us assaulty units that have to sit in the middle of an enemy army for a turn before they can do anything?

    What are you talking about? The only unit affected by the Mad Dok's Med Pak Rule is the the one to which he is attached, not other units that take the Cybork upgrade. And then, it is still pretty hard to kite him around. He ignores the rule when coming on from reserves (which is great when he is Reserved with a Trukk full of Boyz or with Snikrot and his Kommandoz), and your opponent would have to dedicate a unit specifically to kite him around while maneuvering the entire rest of his army to avoid him. That is a pretty convoluted strategy for dealing with a 160 point model, one that you can take advantage of. That is hardly complete control over anything.

Jumping out of a wagon to beat up an empty rhino in my deployment zone, instead of heading off to what's actually important, isn't something I would want to do with any force, let alone mine.

    I have used him in the past, but he's an utter liability, completely out weighing the benefits.

    For my nids, I'd take the blood talons, or whatever they're called, from the blood angels.

    For my salamanders I'd take some kind of flying transport for my termies.

    So, ramming the empty Rhino with your Deffrollas doesn't take it out before the Mad Dok disembarks? I have never had him do anything I didn't want to do, except the one time he and Snikrot didn't arrive until Turn 5.

    If they're daft enough to keep it within range of a deffrolla.
    Or maybe it's not empty and has a throw-away unit inside that they will have to assault after the transport is rollaed.
    Or maybe some other unit that's sitting in front of all their guns or off away from an objective.
    There's so many instances where he won't go where you want him to if your opponent thinks a little.

    As for ICs attatching to Snikrot.... frankly I disagree with that ruling and it's the beardiest RAW, anti-RAI trick in the codex.

    Drop Pods, that's what. What could be Orkier than literally firing a Deff Dread from orbit right onto the battlefield? You could give them to MANz and Nobz too, though they wouldn't be much use unless you could assault out of them. . .

    No, wait. Flash Gitz with Drop Pods. BAM, suddenly S6 weapons ignoring your armor in your deployment zone!

    So you are playing peculiar list and wishing for something to make it stronger. You have limited the number of threats and weapons you could have by paying for overpriced Nobz with no invul save, unless you take a character that you allow to be manipulated. You refuse to use the rules of the game to your advantage and insist on running an unorthodox and fragile list. The Ork Codex does not need Stormsheilds. Your underpowered list and dubious play style needs Stormsheilds.

    Deployment zone does not necessitate deffrolla range.

    Aside from deployment, you cannot choose where he is unless there are no enemy units on the table.

    Given the nature and light-heartedness of this thread; yes.

    You have limited the number of threats and weapons you could have by paying for overpriced Nobz with no invul save, unless you take a character that you allow to be manipulated.

    My point is the trade-off is not worth it.

    You refuse to use the rules of the game to your advantage and insist on running an unorthodox and fragile list.

    This is a somewhat subjective area. Shouldn't an internally balanced codex provide an equally viable list regardless of unit selection?

    The Ork Codex does not need Stormsheilds.

    Never said it did.

    Your underpowered list and dubious play style needs Stormsheilds.

    See point about internal balance.

    Would Stormshields on meganobs be balanced? Probably not, unless they costed around 20 points per model. A 5+ inv. save without relying on possibly the game's biggest liability might be.

    No, but having 3 Deffrollas in your deployment zone certainly increases your Deffrolla Range.
    Aside from deployment, you cannot choose where he is unless there are no enemy units on the table.
    If an empty Drop Pod tries to deter the Mad Dok and his Boyz, I usually take it out with a different BW before I attempt to move his.
    Shouldn't an internally balanced codex provide an equally viable list regardless of unit selection?
    No. There should be a use for all units in the Codex, especially when used in conjunction with other units. There is nothing balanced about running an all Grot list (sans HQ). There is nothing inherently balanced about running an all MegaNob list. Unit selection and list building is as vital as any table top aspect of the game, if not more so.
    Would Stormshields on meganobs be balanced? Probably not, unless they costed around 20 points per model. A 5+ inv. save without relying on possibly the game's biggest liability might be.
    The games biggest liability? I am sure there are others, but I am only certain that you and the opponents I use Grotsnik against seem to dislike him, but for very different reasons.

    I think you may have missed the point of the thread, Jon. This is a wishlist thread, not a proposed rules thread. Of course he wants Storm Shields, MANz with a 3++ would be terrifyingly powerful. That doesn't mean that the Codex 'needs' them, or that they'd be balanced; just that he thinks they'd be cool.

    Hell, I agree, MANz with Storm Shields WOULD be pretty cool. I'd cheerfully settle just for the abilty to give them cybork bodies, honestly.

    AFAIK Aleck, the Harlequins are a religious sect of eldar who serve their god Cegorack(spelling*) who is apparently alive and well and guiding the eldar from the shadows through the Harlies and other methods of influence. In fact, as an example of this, its popularly held that Lady Malys of the Dark Eldar is actually spiritually melded with the Laughing God following a battle of wits that lady Malys ACTUALLY won betwixt the two.
    I don't believe they are truly mercenaries, however they will aid just about anyone the Laughing God tells them too, or any eldar (dark eldar as well I believe) that are nearby and need it.
