What's the problem?

You can either:
A) Roll for it and get no Hazardous penalty
OR
B) Choose a specific perk and get Hazardous, failing on a 1 or a 2.

You don't fail on a 1 or 2 for all weapons.
Only weapons that have Hazardous from two or more sources.

Fair play, but I'm still failing to see the issue.

And this is why people need to read what is written, not what they think is written.

If a weapon equipped by a model from you army has the [HAZARDOUS] ability...

(Emphasis mine)

I know this is the Ork Codex, but the rules should still be written in correct English.

From multiple sources.

Never said it broke anything, merely that it should have been caught by a proofreader - given it is a correct word, it wouldn't get caught by a computer running a spell-checker, after all.

...I'm honestly not sure what you're trying to prove there, JNA. Look at the first line of the final paragrah.

Oh, my bad. I thought you were addressing an actual rules issue, not a missing "r" that doesn't affect anyone's understanding.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to figure out too. I never would have registered it, my brain registered it as "your".

And the award for nitpicking goes to...

Less of a nitpick - the final paragraph seems like something that should have been part of the core Hazardous rule.

I'm ready to see how Custodes bf sells instantly and nobody but like 3 maniakz will get their Stompa Battleforce.

Or maybe more if they want to use it as terrain.

I'm yet to see a single soul that uses a Stompa on anything.

I'd absolutely get and run a stompa with my walkerz if it wasn't for the rest of the cost of this box being wasted. I have zero need for more boyz, lootas, or another trukk.

If the stompa wasn't there I might buy a box or two. I already have a stompa, unless gw gives them a 300+ pt price cut I have no need for another. I am tempted to buy it and try to flip the stompa to get back some cost, but I'm not sure anyone would even buy it.

*Pisoteadores, or well, specifically for greenskins in spanish, Pizoteadores, following usual (irregular) spanish Warhammer lexicanum. I don't know when you use "stample" over "stomping" in english specifically but they are both the same word in spanish.

I love the Stompa - it's time it was a practical inclusion in Ork armies and not just something that gathers dust on the shelf. My issue with this boxed set is those crappy old Lootas. They weren't particularly good when they came out - the sculpting was pretty rubbish, as if someone had tried to copy the style of the Brian Nelson Boyz using plasticine. They now look really terrible next to modern kits like the Kommandos. The release of a new codex should be supported by more than just a single new character figure.

And it looks as though my KFF Big Mek and Waaagh Banna Nob are joining the Stompa on the shelf. At least for this edition.

I like the loota/burna kit personally, that a d the truck are the main selling point for me, after the character lol

I think the Lootas are still reasonably well regarded - I just never thought they were good enough. They date back to a time when GW was switching to digital sculpting, so some of the Ork models (like the Painboy) had sharp but somewhat unnatural details, while others (like the Lootas) had 'soft' details. You can see that some of the components are actually re-cast versions of the Brian Nelson originals. Their weapons are really crude compared to more recent models. The problem with the Ork range is that it consists of models from very different eras, so it isn't consistent. What we need is for the basic Boyz, Nobz, Lootas and Tankbustas to be re-done in the same style as the Kommandos, but I'm not going to hold my breath...

Lootas/burnas could use a new kit, maybe even split the two. Lootas as a 10 boy unit with modular weapons like the flash gits got, then burna Boyz with flame and add melta weapons. Or flamers/tox Boyz who use squig gas weapons.

Basic Boyz have already been redone - and after the side effects of using the monkey's paw to make that happen, people still wish for other kits to be redone?

Yeah, please leave the lootas alone, they're miles above the new boyz kit. Them using parts from the old boyz Was a missed opportunity, but at lest they're fully compatible.
Btw the nobz might be the best kit GW currently sells, so leave them alone as well.

Or a kill team.

I'd very much hope that Kill Team doesn't get to the point where we need tankbustas to bust tanks

Boyz haven't really been re-done though, the old multipart kit remains on sale in parallel and hasn't been replaced. The last combat patrol is a bunch of pushfit Ork models typically designed for edition starter boxes; I really wonder if Orks were originally going to be the opposing faction for 9E or 10E, before plans changed and they decided on the other xenos factions instead.

Given the heavy focus on replacing finecast and 20+ year old plastic troop kits in recent years, it'll be interesting to see how much longer the 1999 Boyz will last before something actually replaces them and if that involves scrapping the new kit too.

The "new boyz" is a vanity release, pretty much tabletop decoration and waste of time + money to produce. The old boyz is still the only way to build a proper full slugga/shoota boy. (with lots of extra gubbin on top)

Last night I had a very random dream that I'd received (or ordered? or something?) an unknown GW kit, and the only information I had to go on for determining what army it came from was its non-English translation as "Boogistrafiers"

I think by the end of the dream I was leaning towards them being Pteraxii Sterylizors.

This detachment seems kind of lack luster. I mean it is just a straight downgrade from the index detachment.

it's certainly novel, but i'm hoping that the other three detachments have more than novelty to them

Seems plausible.

Spied this over on B&C which got some chatter, usual 4chan trash post salt applies, but if it is true then it worries me:

Who believes that guy has leaker at the gw top? Random game designer wouldn't be able to leak all that

they only interesting point of this is how long it takes to go around in circles and that people just share the picture instead of the original post

and the original poster also wrote there that he made it up
