these are the rules of my yet-to-be-named kustom ork character: who is basically a badrukk/snikrot/zagstruk for lootas. here it is:

WS: 5, BS: 3, S: 4, T: 4, W: 3, I: 2, A: 3, LD: 9, SV: 4+

Wargear: bloo paint kan, deffgun, 'eavy armor, mek's tools, ammo runt.
Bloo paint kan: when a model in the loota big mek's unit causes a non-vehicle enemy model to lose it' last wound, one model in the unit gets to swap its deffgun for any heavy weapon (if anything) that model was carrying. The model can fire the gun as normal. Also, any transport that gets destroyed (only wrecked, you can't loot a crater!) by this unit becomes a transport vehicle for this unit at the end of the turn, though this makes the unit unable to do anything else this turn. it is the same as it was at the beginning of the turn, except that it has the "don't press dat!" special rule

Special Rules: Mob rule, relentless, furious charge, waaagh!, "urry up!
'Urry Up!: all models in this unit are relentless.

he is taken in place of one mek in a loota unit for an as-yet undetermined amount of points.
what do you think? i already made a model for him, and it is awesome!

relentless Lootas...Excuse me whilst I go cry in the corner, claiming the Chaos Gods have abandoned me.

Other than that, the stats look quite good for a custom build SC, although the bloo paint kan just dosn't really make that much sense, why not instead allow it to re-roll all 1's to hit, since the orks love the paint job :p

because, i made thi guy because lootaz should loot stuff. it's only proppa...
thank you for the feedback, by the way.

It doesnt make sense for them to shoot and kill things 48 inches away and for said thing to just appear next to them. Same deal for the vehicles. 48 inches away shooting, after it blows up, it becomes yours? How they do it? Magic?

If you want to make a character that could loot an enemy vehicle if its in base contact, that would make a whole lot more sense then magic looting bullets.

how's this?

WS: 5, BS: 3, S: 4, T: 4, W: 3, I: 2, A: 3, LD: 9, SV: 4+

Wargear: bloo paint kan, deffgun, 'eavy armor, mek's tools, ammo runt.
Bloo paint kan: when a model in the loota big mek's unit causes a non-vehicle enemy model to lose it's last wound, place a theft counter in its place. When this unit moves within 6" of the counter, one model in the unit gets to swap its deffgun for any heavy weapon (if anything) that model was carrying. The model can fire the gun as normal. Also, any transport that gets destroyed (only wrecked, you can't loot a crater!) by this unit gets a theft counter at the end of the turn. If this unit ends its move within 2 inches of this vehicle, it becomes a transport vehicle for this unit at the end of the turn, though this makes the unit unable to do anything else this turn. it is the same as it was at the beginning of the turn in which it was destroyed, except that it has the "don't press dat!" special rule

Special Rules: Mob rule, relentless, furious charge, waaagh!, "urry up!
'Urry Up!: all models in this unit are relentless.

he is taken in place of one mek in a loota unit for an as-yet undetermined amount of points.

i still need to think of a points value... probably pretty high, right?

Again, then this raises the problem of 'I have 48" guns, yet I need to get within 6 inches to use my special ability?'

I know if they could loot my tanks I would kill them straight away, hell they're already so high on my target priority if they even step out of cover they're pretty much dead.

And yeah pretty high points cost, although I would like to play against this char in a high point game, it'd be pretty amusing.

Ork big mek "Mad mek" Deffkilla- 150pts
WS-3 BS-3 S-4 T-4 A-2 I-3 W-3 Ld-9 Sv-4+
wargear:
cyborg body
Kustom force field
deffgun
'eavy armour
D3 ammo runts (at start of game)
mek's tools

special rules:
mob rule
furious charge
waagh!
Speshul ammo: all models in his unit's guns are rending.
Loota- If a model in the army kills a transport, if an ork unit (infrantry only) gets within 2" of it, it counts as thier transport for the remainder of the game, using the vehicle's rules, but with "don't press dat!" and the BS is that of the ork unit inside it. If they destroy a different enemy tank (e.g: a predator) ad they get an ork unit within 2", D3+3 orks are removed (does not count against morale) and the tank counts as the orks, with the tank's rules, "don't press dat!" and the tank's BS is that of the models removed.
Extra gubbinz: all models in his unit's guns count as twin-linked.

Yesss! Lootas are my favorite units, and they deserve a special character!

sorry about not replying, that was my bad. i really like your rules, though, i think that i will use those instead . i will keep the bloo paint kan on the model though, simply because it adds character.

I like the idea of looting stuff with your orks, but it's a bit unlikely with lootas that mostly kill their targets at a safe distance.
Instead, I would use it as an extra option for commandos. something like:

Loota grenades.

use like krak grenades. when a vehicle stunned or shaken is rolled, the unit can highjack the vehicle. The entire unit boards the vehicle and can use it following the same rules.
However, the vehicle gains the ' don't press that ' rule and the ballistic value of the commandos.

so you lose a squad of commandos for control of a tank? I doubt kommando stealth orks will go blasting away in a tank. They'll just move on.

I think every ork could see the humor in stealing an enemy vehicle just to wreck mayhem with it behind enemy lines, or appreciate the look on a 'umie commander's face when a leman russ battle thank suddenly rolls over his gunline. Kommandos can get addicted to the thrill of taking down vehicles as much as a tankbusta and perhaps some kommandos serve under the flag of a deathskull warboss, ordering them to loot some intact vehicles. Pointwise, a small unit of kommandos could be one of the best tankhunting unit in the game, as they can earn their points back by stealing a vehicle and cash in the profit with every succesful shot afterwards.

Perhaps, even more than special characters or Unit rules, there should be special rules for Clanz of Orkz. Maybe the Deffskullz unitz all have an option to take these 'bloo paint grenades' for lootin'!
