**Perfect Organism**

Here's my attempt at making a Detachment for orks which will hopefully do a couple of things: bring their power level up to a similar range as the latest Marine codex and bring back a bit of 'old school' flavour in the form of rules for clans and a few other elements of orkish society which aren't covered in the modern material.

I'm not totally happy with it: many upgrades and a few units are still very questionable and cheap firepower with Ignores Cover is still too effective at wiping large sections of the board.

**Melevolence**

I dislike the Goff special rules granted by their formation. The reason being, concussive is one of the most useless special rules, IMHO. It only effects the MODEL you actually hit (wound?) with the attack. The likelihood of concussing a model worth the downgrade is slim :(
(Especially since only the characters get the rule, meaning you will likely get 1 or two attempts to concuss)

Love the Mega/Mek Mob one, simply because I fething love Ork vehicles despite their general cruddy stats.

Madboyz seems stupidly fun

Skarboyz actually seems like it could be fairly powerful...really powerful, with the right support. S4 base boyz is pretty darn good. S5 on the charge is even better. A Weirdboy to potentially add +2 on top of that would be silly

I love both Speed Freak bonuses. Especially the disembarking even after moving past 6'. Zip up, bail out, and hunker down a turn before rushing in :p

Unsure how I feel on the Wildboyz one though. I suppose spamming FNP/Rending Boy Blobs might be pretty rugged, specially just standard slugga/choppa boyz.

**The Riddle of Steel**

I like your Red Paintjob upgrade. The current rule is so pointless that it may as well not exist. You might get 1 or 2 extra inches of movement per game. For an upgrade that costs 1/5 to 1/6 of the cost of the model. Your idea is excellent, even if it costed more or came as an upgrade from a detachment.

I'm a huge fan of bringing back klan rules. It is not flavorful or fair that other armies get Chapter Tactics and boatloads of formations and special ways to build an army, while all Ork klans are built the same and function the same on the battlefield.
