I havent had the priviledge to see the new ork codex but i was wondering if there were any changes made to looted vehicles? did they narrow the list of possible vehicles?

**Bookwrack**

Yes, it's gone completely, replaced with the 'looted wagon' entry. It can either be a transport, or have some big guns strapped onto it.

**ChaoticOrkz**

so my looted land raider is obsolete? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

**Bookwrack**

*shrug* So now you either play it as a looted wagon, or a battle wagon, whichever is more fitting.

**ChaoticOrkz**

sounds good enough.
can i still have a squad of orc snipers???
i really need to get the new codex grrrr

**Toxxic**

Yep, your looted land raider will now have to settle for being a battlewagon, because let's face it, a looted wagon has far too weedy armor to be represented by a LR model!
And No, you cannot take sniper lootas anymore.

**ChaoticOrkz**

no not my snipaz!! anythinb but my snipaz!!!!!!

Fixed that for you.

Orky talk is okay. Too much punctuation and too little capitalization is not.

Anyway, on topic: Orks now get a unit called Lootas, which have ramshackle looted weapons with an unpredictable but solid profile. These would be an excellent choice for your Orky snipaz.

**ChaoticOrkz**

thank you for fixing. i will keep all that in mind.
as soon as i get the new codex i will need to read about these Lootaz and see what i can do with me orky snipaz!

The new ork codex went away from variety to where everything must be used with the COUNTS AS idea. It has 2 tank styles with options for each. Overall It added more than it took though, cause we got Weirdboys, new heroes, deffkoptas, shock attack guns, and such like. But ya... I had ork sniper units too cause they hit awesomely. It made me laugh when I saw you had the same.

Use your Looted Land Raider as a Battlewagon with a Deff Rolla. Looted Wagons are horrible vehicles. What kind of person puts a Battlecannon on a Rhino?

Fixed your post

I've tested battlecannons on Rhino's and have had a mixture of success and failure, but overall the battlewagon wins out. Both in logic and durability

**Elnicko5**

I would put a battle cannon on a rhino. Just putting it out there.

**Nobody_Holme**

Orks. They do love their dakka.

**KingCracker**

Hell yea we do!
Ive had mixed success with my boom gun wagon. Some games it misses like a mofo. And others it just blows the poop out of things.

OT lootas would be a great replacement for your snipaz... or whatever they are. The deffgunz they use are insane. They can get a ton of shots, and the range is awesome. Its funny, because Orks now can easily become the shootiest army in the game. I laugh when I hear people boast about out shooting Tau.

**Nobody_Holme**

Shootiest as in most shots, yes.

Able to gun down Tau, yes.

Now try shoota boyz vs Guard Gunlines >.<

(Treating the shootas like CC fiends (which they are against guard, annoyingly) will probably crush said guardsmen, mind.)

**ChaoticOrkz**

thanks guys i really appreciate the info.
I might be getting the codex today so as soon as i get it ill devour whatever information it contains

**Dark Lord Seanron**

I know alot of folks bemoan the loss of the looted vehicle as opposed to the Looted Wagon, but c'mooooooon, we got the Shokk Attack Gun, it's pure, model-based comedy
