Upgrade avaliable to Boss Nobs, Warbosses, Big Meks, Painbosses and Wierdboys.

The model recieves +1 LD.

Cost: 10 pts for Boss Nobs, 15 pts for Warbosses, Big Meks, Painbosses and Wierdboys.

Shouldn't it be Hatred instead of Preferred Enemy, to match their namesake?

That'd be against the nature of orks. Orks don't hate anyone. Actually, if you fight good, they love you!
Besides, doesn't Hatred affect the squad members too? Or am i confusing it with zealot.

I would say it should cost 15pts. Otherwise, you are good to go.

A possible 10pt cost is the leader has to kill a unit and gains its preferred enemy against that kill. Shooting or melee.

Well, i just thought that 10 pts for a boss nob is allready areasonable price. Orks don't benefit from ld directly since we've got Mob Rule to mitigate our ld7 problems.

I can see some potential problems with a wierdboy rolling Da Crunch and getting rerolls. It's not that frightening with primaris. Other HQ allready have access to things like ammo runts and DLS. But how often do we see Wierdboyz in the first place, eh? Maybe it's gona be this little push for them. And it's also be too powerful for HQ making it a mini DLS without drawbacks. Think i'll just remove the feat other than +1 LD.

But it mostly for the little buff of boy'z resistance to fear and telepathy 1-st power that forces you to test ld whatever you do.

But what's the reasonable price for just +1 LD?

5 for nobz, 10 for HQ?

Or we could make it Preferred Enemy (Random Faction).

I think in this case you can just look at the CSM codex and borrow their wargear upgrade. I think they charge 1pt for +1ld per model.

Another idea is to add zealot, or fearless to the unit via special rule upgrade. It also makes losing that character so much more important to the units functionality.

I would say 15pts, fearless, and +1ld on character.
20pts fearless +1ld on an independent character.

Just as a concept.

I wouldn't like to play with fearless and squad-wide buffs.

15 pts for a fearless 30-strong squad is just too low. For example, CSM have to pay 25 for icon of vengeance and allready have ld8-9 built in.

On the 2-d thought, +1 ld for a 30-strong squad for 5 pts is a bit too low either. 10 is better.
