I am asking all the Ork Players out there their oppinion on this Idea:

The Ork Pain Boss or Pain Boy should get a 'Eart Stoppa(defibrillator - I think that is how to spell it). It would cost 15 points.
Picture this a Pain Boy with his White Mask splattered with Alien Blood, two Metal plates in both hands with cables pig tailing to a box on his back and a little Grot hanging on or tide to the box cranking away to juice the Plates. It would count as having two close combat weapons wounding on a 4 with no armor save, but would not wound (wraithlords, big nids, talos etc). If you hit with a 6; however, it would count as an overcharge/Rending which would not allow any armor save. Hence, wound (wraithlords, big nids, talos etc).

But if the Doc roles a 1 to hit the overcharge would count as frying the Grot on his back and he would lose an attack next turn for evey one he roles plus take a would if the number of ones roles exceeds the number of attacks that turn. For an example a Pain Boy with 2 attack +1 for having the 'Eart Stoppa/Defibrillator and a +1 for having a Bionik Arm, and a +1 on the assault, would give him 5 attacks on the assault. Now he roles 2 ones; hence next turn he would only have two attacks. But on the occasion the Doc would role 5 ones he would have to make 1 armor save. Note: the Grot is accustom of getting zapped and is never kill by an overcharge in any way, in fact it likes it.

Now is that Orky or what????

A bit confusing with the attacks/wounding thing. But its not like gw has its fair share of confusing crap.

The bionik arm only counts as a cc weapon if you dont already otherwise have one.
So hed only have 4 attacks on the charge. A bionik arm causes a hit but is not an actual attack, for 1: it is at initiative 6, 2: it is at str 4.
If you had a slugga and a bionik arm itd give you +1 attack.
But since your stoppa counts as 2 cc weaopns already, having 3 cc weapon's wouldnt give you +2 attacks.

Sorry for that I know that Ork Codex reads that way but I may have mis-read it in the New Ware Gear Booklet. On the other hand the Pain Boss does have 3 attacts so on the assault it would have 5 attacts.
