İ am new to modelling and i started to build an ork army .it is really fun to paint but i have a problem when i am playing against different opponnets i have to switch burnas and lootas,Buying burnas and lootas seperately is very expensive is there a way or tip to switching parts between battles ?

That's a pretty complex magnet job. I would suggest instead buying an extra boyz box and using the extra bodies to build the extra weapons onto.

E.g. If you buy three boxes of burna/lootas and one box of boyz then you can build:
12 burnas
12 lootas
1 nob
1 mek

No worries. Personally, I did that and then sold the lootas for more than a box of boyz costs.

Better and cheaper to buy torsos and legs from a bitz company online and then have both units...

Use your boyz box to make boyz.

Bitzbox want £0.30 for a torso and £0.50 for legs so that's £8 for ten boyz. A box of boyz is £9.60 so for £1.60 you're getting a load of bitz and the accessory sprue with big shoota, rokkit, powerklaw, etc.

OK, bit of a bump, and I'm an amateur modeller, but I found another use for spares here. Sorry if it's been posted before.

The loota guns come with lots of optional extra barrels/scopes etc. If you leave them off the deffgun, it doesn't really change the model.

Get two boxes of nobs, take the combi weapons and snip off the rokkits and skorchas. Add the scopes and barrels from the lootas.

You now have a convincing unit of "more dakka" flash gitz. I put choppa blades under the barrels to balance the look of the model.

You also then have some rokkits for adding onto vehicles or making comedy tankbustas. Circle of life and all that.
