Orks are great, but I think we might be having some fun with a codex of low tech orks too. I find it a shame that
GW gives multiple codices for Space Marines, Eldar and to some extend - Chaos, but not for Orks. So I decided to mome up with some thoughts of my own
Ok, Lets get started.
Rules - the same as Codex:Orks, but with a little change:
Mob rule table
1 - Moral test is failed
2-3 - take D3 S4
AP- hits
4-6 - Take
D6 S3
AP- hits
Squigs & Runts
Mostly the same, but with some additions:
Riding squig - a reptilian squig form, used as a mount. Changes unit type to Cavalery, gives +1 S, T, A, a 4+ save and Rending for all attacks. 20 pts.
Ammo Runts and Grot orderlies aren't one use only, but allow one reroll per turn. Cost the same.
Target squigs - give Ignore cover. 10 pts.
Orky Know-Whats
No Rokkit Packs, Warbikes and Gitfindaz. Bosspole, Cybork body (allows to reroll
FNP, 10 pts), Mek Tools (allow to restore
HP for vehicles and W for guns in artillery units on a 5+), Doks Tools.
Melee Weapons
Chopa - the same
Big Chopa - +2 S

FNP and can take items from Squigs and Runts and Orky Know-Whats. Gets Waaaagh! Energy rule - the Weirdboy calls upon the powers of the Waaagh! instead of the warp: Harnesses Warp Charges on a 5+, but never suffers Perils. New phsycic powers - Waaagh! Powers:
