The 'Nobz the size of dreadnoughts" Was under ONE SPECIFIC WARBOSS. Not the entire race as a while.

Also known as the baddest Warboss there is, "The Beast" who was huge and strong enough to take down the Emperor and require Horus to help him take him down, but still it was the Waaagh! Under The Beast that had gigantic boyz.

Thank you for your comments zebio

Nobz the size of dreads: you will notice my ones while better stat wise, are not those nobs, but ALL Orks encountered were indeed deadlier, go read any of the hh books that they are in and see what I mean, I suggest brotherhood of the storm as particularly good read.

You are correct there was only one "beast" but I have made the ork "warlord" a Lord of war choice to represent these massive warbosses that have popped up in the fluff from time to time.


If you have any suggestions for stats, please go ahead, it is very easy to criticise others work but not put up your own, so my lovely dakkaites make those suggestions.

What changes would you make to codex guard?

Not sure, since they are coming up later on in the HH books.

Though for the Ork Warlord I think you should include an option like: Epic Warlord Armor. A 2+ sort of armor that allows for the Warlord to take far stronger guns, like the ability to shoot say..Rokkits at S6 Large blast sort of weaponry, since a big boss is gonna have bigger, better guns and armaments on him too. What with being that big and all.

Good idea zebio, how about this

Ultimate dakka!
The warlord has the following weapon

Kustom mega doom blastakilla, or the k.m.d.b

Range 18" Str d6 +4 AP 2 assault d3+3 pistol, over powered,
Blind, strikedown, armourbane, line of effect, gets hot,
Master krafted

Over powered: da warlord as da most killy shooty blasta eva made by da umies or da orks, cos e is da warlord see?
A weapon with this special rule forgo all its shots (I.e no longer d3+3), for d3 str10 ap2 large blast (5") shots, if any of the shots "gets hot" they may not be 're-rolled by any means, instead roll the scatter dice as close to the warlord as possible, the nearest unit (friend or foe) that the arrow.points to is hit with the shot.

Master krafted: the warboss May 're-roll the gets hot dice for his shots (except any overpowered shots) if this dice also rolls a 1, he suffers a wound with no saves of any kind allowed, including feel no pain.

Line of, effect: roll to hit with each shot as normal, if hit draw a line 18" from the base of the warlord in any direction, any model that falls under this line takes an automatic hit from the weapon, you may not fire into combat or hit friendly models with this weapon, if sshooting at a fmc or a flyer the roll to hit as normal (snap shots) if hit the flyer will be hit but any other unit type will not (I.e if shooting a flyer, then only flyers may be hit, if shooting any other unit type flyers and fmcs will not be hit.)

This weapon costs 75pts for a warlord and no more than 1 can be taken regardless or allies or any other warlords. So agree who has this with your friends if playing with multiple warlords

Well.. After some playtesting I have some new updates, check page 1 and comment as normal

The fall had only happened a few centuries prior to the great crusade.

Did not realize that. I probably should pay more attention to my own codex. Specifically the part where it says that the Fall was c.M31 and then the very next entry in the timeline (also c.M31) talks about the Great crusade.

In fact, aren't they cause and effect? The warp storms that cut off interstellar travel were caused by the Eldar degenerating into self-destructive excess and thereby psychical generating what would become Slanesh, and when he/she/it was finally "born," the resulting psychic backlash blow up the core of the Eldar Empire -- known now as the Eye of Terror -- and bled off so much warp energy that interstellar travel was possible again, giving the Emperor and his genetically engineered killing machines the opportunity to launch themselves off Earth in an orgy of brutal conquest and genocide, I mean Great Crusade.

Also giant Orks for da win. It makes sense in fluff too. As I recall, Orks neva stops growin az long az dey keepz winnin' (koz Orkz wuz made fer fightin' an' winnin'), so in the Long Night, without any humie, I mean human, empire to cut them down to size periodically, Ork empires -- and their leaders -- could keep growing for millennia. "There were giants upon the Earth(s) in those days..."

Not exactly cause and effect, the big e saw the eldar fall coming (honestly who wouldn't at that point) and was primed to start the crusade as soon as the storms abated.

A note on the emperor, he lived through the dark age of technology... Why does no one ever seem to notice this?

If you want 30K tau, you need to remake the rules you made for them, as they are currently totally crippling, and rendering the army unplayable.

HOWEVER, as a tau player, I must say tau got no place in a 30k game, they didn't even have flintlock rifles back then.
