As you might guess from the title, this is a set of unique 'relics' for ork characters. I'd say that they should be available to Warbosses, Big Meks, Warpheads and Painbosses.

EDIT (26/3/2014) - version 2

With the exception of The Big Bad Burna & the Naztuf's Powa Shield, it all seems overpowered/underpointed

Whurla-thrusta-klusta: 20 points to give a Warboss Jumppack stuff, is a bit too little, throwing the ability to do AP4 hits on models just by jumping over them and it should be at least 50 points.

Baddbreff's Bionik Brew-Barrul: think about it. for an extra 25 points you can give a Megaboss, Eternal Warrior. That's fair. What overpowered is throwing in It will not die. That combined with eternal Warrior is greatly underpointed. Tha combo could become insanely powerful

Nekkslasha: Instant death, on a AP 3 weapon, with S+2 FOR 35 POINTS?! I'm sorry that will become a must take. if ever used. FAR too powerful for such a cheap price.

Da Supadakkaflakkablasta. Orky BS+Salvod6/2d6 S=5 AP5 for 30 points, is again far too little. When you throw in Rending then it becomes for lethal towards anything with a 3+ than a squad of 15 lootas who rolled a 6

There you have it. mostly overpowered for the price given. Decrease their power or increase the price and maybe they'll be closer towards the balance of what the game is today. As it is that's more overpowered than some of the new Taudar stuff

Have a good day

Space Marine characters can buy a Jump Pack for 15 points. Autarchs get Swooping Hawk Wings for 15 points. I don't see why an ork character can't have a jump pack for a similar price. The damage effect is probably worth a bit more though. Not another 25-35 points, but more than 5. I'm thinking maybe 30-40 points for the whole package.

I don't really think IWND is that great. It's a slow and unreliable method of patching up wounds. I doubt it's going to average out to more than one wound healed per battle. At most, I'd increase it's cost to 35 points.

Probably better to reduce the power rather than increasing the cost for this one, I think. I'm kind of liking the AP 3 option for a warboss, so maybe lose the Instant Death?

At BS 2, I think it's fairly comparable to an Assault Cannon at BS 4; about twice as many shots, but only half as many hitting. Rending only makes it about 20% better against MEQ than a Deff Gun and it's only getting firepower equivalent to about three Lootas on average. Lootas are 15 points, but you also get an ork thrown in with the gun, which has got to be worth something. Maybe 30 points is a little on the low side, but not that bad... maybe increase it to 40-45 points.

OK, I've re-written a few bits. Adjusted points values, changed rules for the Bionik Brew Barrul a bit and for Nekkslasha quite a lot (should be better against really tough characters with good invulnerables and eternal warrior, but a lot less impressive against MEQ and minor characters).
