Buy a bullet and use it on the poor sod with a battlewagon when his back is turned.

If you don't have an Ork army Melkhior, we need to russle up a whip round for you, as you need to be one of da boyz stat!

Since the ork numerical system contains only six numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, "lotz") i would guess if your pile is big enough to impress your mek boy, and if you are big enough to smack him around alittle, you could get pretty much anything.

Alternatively you could convert points from the codex into teeth as well if you feel inclined.

Ork ekonomy is surprisingly simple and is based on a few simple rules.

How many teef you got? vs How big are dey?

How big are you? vs How big iz da guy tryin' to scam ya?

How killy iz dat shoota/choppa/slugga/armor?

lol.

But, because all BW owners are at least nobs, what are you going to do when he turns around with 1 wound left?

This is a common misconseption, even though the orkoid numericals are indeed as you named them they use lotz in the same way we use the number 10.
For example the counting you demonstrated would go as follows – lotz and 1, lotz and 2, lotz and 3, lotz and 4, lotz and 5, lotz and lotz...

'ut, because all BW owners are at least nobs, what are you going to do when he turns around with 1 wound left? '

Beat him down wiv da shoota

who even says you'll hit him with the slugga with your woeful BS2?

buzzsaw, your gonna get beat down with a shoota in a minuet.

Im assuming that every teef transaction has a great range of possible value. I also assume that most transactions end in an Ork-y brawl, and whoever won decides the price. more or less.

@ Luke_Prowler, I actualy think there is a reference to the squig meat pie and fungs beer line, cus Im sure i read it somewhere, probably in the ork codex or sumfing.

fair play.

I'm fairly sure they wouldn't actually bother to count them. Just so long as it was a vague amount. Like a big sack of them for a trukk.

I think it depends on which warband you are talking about, a bad moon warband might be selling mega armour for 500 teeth because bad moons can afford it whilst a Goff warband might be selling mega armour for 100 teeth because they don't gain teeth as fast as bad moons.

One toof fer some fungus beer, 6 for a shoota.. 4 for a choppa, 7 for choppa slugga combo.. a sack full for a power klaw, a couple sacks fer mega arma. A trukload fer a battlewagon, a battlewagon load fer a fighta-bomba. sack full fer a deffgun, mouthful fer a bigshoota, 2 mouthfulls fer a rokkit launcha, ya get de idear?

an' if anywun wud know, it'd be wun'a dem Lootaboyz.

Loota? Don't know watcha mean der, mate. The politikly korrect term is "High-Klass Borrower."

you don't even need one toof. Its called you handy-dandy trusty always by you side choppa

cheapbuster wrote:Hello, I was going to write some short storys about my warboss and was wondering how much teef are worth as the codex doesnt say.
For example how many would you need to buy some mega armor or a battle wagon?

thanks

Short answer: As many teef as the battlewagon builder has.

When my Ghazghkull needs three battlewagons for a Waaaugh! he doesn't offer teef to the mek building them, he lets the mek keep his own teef in exchange.
