Hi guys, so there was some models for what people believed to be Armageddon Ork hunters. I didn't even really know what they were or what they are to be quite honest.

This is also my first time creating rules, so these are probably not too good. But hey, I think that these are cool. From what I gathered, these guys are kind of guerilla fighters against the Ork threat, and they use the Ork's own weapons against them. So yeah. Without further ado, the Armageddon Ork Hunters. I hope that you like them! : )

(0-1 Troops choice)
Armageddon Ork Hunter- 9 points
WS:4 BS:3 S:3 T:3 W:1 I:3 A: 1 Ld: 8 Sv: 5+
Armageddon Ork Hunter Veteran- +5 points (If this upgrade is taken, then Armageddon Ork Hunter Veterans gain the special rule Infiltrate)
WS:4 BS:4 S:3 T:3 W:1 I:3 A: 2 Ld: 9 Sv: 5+
Unit Composition: 5-10.
Wargear:
Frag Grenades, Cameleoline, Shoota
May replace Shoota with choppa and slugga, or a lasgun, or a laspistol and close combat weapon for free.
Up to 2 models may replace their weapons with Flamers for +6 points each.

Special Rules:
Hit and Run: Armageddon Ork Hunters specialize in guerilla warfare, as an all-out assault against an Ork horde is suicidal.
Preferred Enemy: Orks: Having fought for an incredibly long time against the Ork threat on Armageddon, Ork hunters have become incredibly skilled at fighting Orks, and as such fight at their best when they are fighting against the Green Tide.

+3 points to gain Infiltrate, but stop being a Scoring Unit is no good. +1 pts/model, methinks.

You should replace the Xenos Hunters "Hit on 3+" with "Preferred Enemy." Rather than hitting on a 3+, they'll hit on a 4+, but re-roll failed rolls to hit. Overall, it's about 9% better.

like it, but why in the world would you replace a shoota with a lasgun. why not do something like reduce pints cost by 3 if take lasgun or laspistol

Actually, now that I think about it, the Vet Ork Hunters becoming elites doesn't seem like a very good idea for some reason.

I'll change it to +5 points for a Vet Ork Hunter, but they still gain Infiltrate.

Will also change Xenos Hunters: Orks to Preferred Enemy: Orks.

Also, I just had a lasgun and laspistol w/ CCW just for the sakes of having them.
