I thought the lowest level was pages of nothing but complaining what Marines do/don’t get in every single thread
Can't y'all stop talking about elevators and start attacking one another for liking or not liking GW products? I started to think I was somewhere else for a minute!

What's there to attack other people for, heck the lower pts bracket is veryfiably memeworthy now, to the point even dakka unified...
Others are depressed because their armies got wholesale squatted.
And others wonder why a stompa is going UP.

and that is saying something
still you get the odd: "marines are ok because something...something... internal balance" or the extra elitist one: "now that we have the rules, the points and the FAQs we still cant conclude anything because we need more games to confirm stuff"

Hey, GW were gracious enough to keep the stompa at 905/915 points. That means you can legally put it into your reinforcements since it's less than half your army -and- it'll only cost you 5CP to do so!

Meanwhile the imperial castellan is at 630pts laughing at the stompa....
I don’t want to sound crazy it’s almost like GW has this inherent imperial bias...
Like somehow
Marines
Custodes
Astra militarum
Ad mech
Heck to a degree knights (imperial only) as well
All got better and most other armies got curb stomped...
I play guard too so It’s likely just shelve those orks for Guard this edition or until a new codex drops.
But guard have the cheapest strongest troops and thier special weapons all dropped in price, thier artillery is better overall and they aren’t even the strongest army this edition. A nice soup filler still though. Can’t wait to see all those improved FW goodies for guard, marines and custodes...
(Necrons should be fine especially after the first 9th Ed codex drops With some extra extra rules for them tacked on)

I'm 99% sure thats a typo all be it a massive one but still a typo as aint nobody wanting 600 point castellen in the game.

905 points you say? So with its massive 37 point buff bringing it to 880 with wargear my Fellblade is officially cheaper than a Stompa? Booyah. Anybody got a Stompa? Let's fight em.

Oh yeah, you'll probably find them used as doorstops or garden gnomes all over the world, 'cause they sure ain't on anyone's gaming table.
I'm hoping for the stompa kit to get a couple sprues added for more weapon and head options, and a rework of the datasheet. Maybe next time orks get a model pass.

Wasn't the points decided by independent play testers? If so, what's GW got to do with it?

Play testers presumably had some input but we have no way of knowing the level that they contributed, or whether GW even took their advice. At the end of the day that doesn't matter. The buck stops with GW.
Where is the best place to find the rules you need to play a few test games?
There has been such an info dump recently that search is almost impossible.
I have core rules (GW) and FAQs.
I also have new points.
I don't have new missions, with secondary scoring etc. Nor do I have new terrain rules etc.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong: Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other. A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot. Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests. Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books. Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor. Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers. Orks do not have the power of believe.

It's more the Chassis cost is the same choas to imperial however Choas has to pay for weapons while the Imperial one has weapons listed at 0 points. All the strategums and relics still exsist for the old raven castellen even GW can't be dumb enough to reintroduce that. Surely?
Considering GW just yeeted 2 armies without any announcement whatsoever.
created 120 pts melta squads that gain access trhough a common reserve stratagem to deepstrike, and internally shanking AT balance of SM (not to mention external....)
Hiked the price of the stompa for reasons only God knows.
Proceded to price Brimstones, conscripts, Grots at 5 pts with the infantry squad?
and you are wondering if they would reintroduce it?
