This is my Ork Special Character. He is based of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_K%C3%. Erwun Da Boss is very different by Ork standards. He had a Mek Lugnutz build him a Snipa Shoota. "If da oomies hav un why can't mez?"
"Wat sorta Ork would wanna stand yonks from da fite like some pansy grot?" -An Ork just before his head explodes from a sniper round *hint hint*

Erwun Da Boss - 70 pts

Erwun Da Boss is taken as a Unique Elite choice.
WS:4 BS:3 S:4 T:5 W:2 I:3 A:3 Ld:9 Sv:6+

Wargear: Erwun carries his Snipa Shoota, a Choppa and has an Ammo Runt.

Wargear
Sniper Shoota: Erwun’s Snipa Shoota has the following rules.

Range:36" Str: X AP:4 Special: Heavy 1; Sniper

Special Rules
Independent Character; Stealth; Move Through Cover; Infiltrate.

Super Sniper. Opponents have a -1 to their cover saves and Erwun may not join units. Erwun may also re-roll to hit with his Snipa Shoota.

Stay Hidden. Erwun believes that its better to not take the shot when they are close than to blow your cover. Erwun may not declare an Assault.

Wat did ya say?
Because the custom sniper rifle is so powerful , its not surprising anyone within 15 meter wouldnt have their ear drum blown out.
In first round of enemy assault , the enemy will always strike first , because Erwun is deaf thus wouldnt even know if a titan is walking up to him.

So what is your opinion and how much should he cost.

I like the idea But have no idea on the point cost.

I think you should only give him max of BS3 ( improved from BS2 orks )

the rest should be made up by special weapon rules.

Lunahound, what about a re-rollable BS3. Would that be fair?

It should be fine , however the Ork codex often makes the low BS via the following:

Twin Linked
LOTS of shots

I would imagine Ork sniper to be a REALLY large gun like the one in Miami Vice . ( thats scary o_O )

If im to make the ork sniper i would give these rules:

Range: 36, Str 8 , AP 2 , Heavy 4 .

Does NOT pin ( dakka too loud lol )

Sounds good but how much should he cost then?

No idea , but i know the Nob Biker character has similar weapon on his bike.

100pts and is an Elite choice

I have a funny rule that would be fun to have.

"Erwun is deaf"

Because the custom sniper riffle is so powerful , its not surprising anyone within 15 meter wouldnt have their ear drum blown out.

In first round of enemy assault , the enemy will always strike first , because Erwun is deaf thus wouldnt even know if a titan is walking up to him.

whatever he is, 100 points is way too much. He has 4 shots, BS2 is enough.

65 points, drop him down to S7. You are almost into Dakkakannon territory here. Dude, He's Wazdakka.

Awesome stuff. I'm definately having that.

I'm goning to keep it a heavy 1 and is a sniper

You know what would be cool? Ork Assassins to match the Imperial ones.

I'm planning on making some Spec Ork Kommandos. They are gonna look like they SAS on the level of COD4 'Crew Expendable'.

Why are his S and T stats so high?

Give him the Vindicare targeting rule.

In fact, give him an Exitus Rifle. A single sniper doesn't do much. A Vindicare does, however (relatively speaking).

'Es an Ork, and Orks is da best. Orks got da best dakka, and even da weedy snipa-flash gots ta have da best dakka.

Give da Boss a rifle with:
36" Heavy 4, sniper, S7, and BS 4.

Give em stealth, move through cover, infiltrate

85 points.

With Sniper, da strength of da flash don't matter much when blastin weedy gits. I's good for krumpin dose ugly Marine boyz trukks tho.

Drop da rest. Dis boss is still a Ork, He's got ta have da good bits for a fight.
