Devastator Centurions look pretty cool stat wise, and I have some Mantic "Ripper Suits" which are like MegaNobz with guns. So I thought of this as a way to turn it into an Ork unit.

I Orkified the stats, exchanged the marine weapons for Ork equivalents, and gave it a Gitfinder and Twin Linked to try and make up for the reduced BS a bit.

Main differences are;
a) Orkified stats - bad BS/INT/Ld, another attack
b) No grav guns
c) No psychic support so no invisible deathstar
d) Unlike DevCents can charge after shooting if you want to do that for some reason
e) Slightly different weapons options - more rokkets, Skorcha and a KMK instead of Twin Linked Lascannon or Grav cannon for which we have no equivalent
f) Relentless, so they can fire overwatch - with such short range weapons and no melee they will be charged and they need to be able to defend themselves

Wondering what you guys think?

your looking at a 80pt version of a KMK artillery piece which costs (with upgrades) 42pts and includes a reroll and T7. Maybe lower the price a bit.

I don't think its quite that simple - isn't a Lascanoon Devastator Centurion almost a 75pt version of a 35pt Devastator marine?

Centuri-Orks can move and shoot, can ride about in transports, and fight (somewhat) in melee. Its a pretty different unit overall.

difference is the Centurion marine can't kill himself with his weapon.

Its Orks bro, its not allowed to be good.

Rerolls for joy.

Their melees negligible, they'll just hang around for a while. They'll probably fail Ld anyway and get routed

Lol @ dakkatits.

Can't believe I missed S5/T5 on the cent profiles, shows how little I really care about those ugly things.

I'll give it a go once I put those ripper guys together.
