Starting a wish list of things people want to see changed with the Orks!

I for one would like to see some actual tank options, Like Looted wagons and actual shooty tanks.

-Actual Tanks
- Not needing to spam Boyz to have a viable army (just gets boring haha)
- Would be cool to see a new type of specialist, perhaps an ork tunneling team or something.
- Id love to see Nobz and Flashgitz get a bit more survivable with options for armour.

What do you wanna see?

Plastic warboss, mega armored warboss, new ghazghkull.

Instead of listing out the individual units, I will just give a blanket statement that anything that is still metal/resin should have a Plastic kit. Aside from Kommandos and some modern special characters, none of them have aged well into the new visual style of 40k.

On the side of rules:

- looted vehicles
- Roks (drop pod equivallent but with bigger capacity)
- Grot Tanks in the main codex
- not sucky Killa Kans
- point drops in line with the other codexes
- Squiggoths.

I just want a sniper.... we're basically the only race who can't aim at characters so we're useless in Imperial armies when there is a large block of conscripts or guard! Maybe not even a new model... grots already look a bit like sniper so just give them a an option to have a sniper...

I wish...

Looted wagons are what I really need back.
An actual tank would be really good, but looted wagons could fill that role if they are brought back.
A point reduction for walkers would be nice.
Just something that made it so you don't have to spam boys would be great.
A new elite/ specialist unit would be cool. Maybe some kind of trapping team or something.

- Phil Kelly to design the codex
- Someone else to fix all his rule issues

That guy at least knew how orks worked, unlike everyone else at GW ever.

This!
My stompa wishlist is added

An ork "shooting only" (no transport capacity) tank with the size of a predator or a trukk, NOT a huge superheavy.

Plastic HQs of all kinds: weirdboyz, warboss and big mek.

New buggies.

Everything else is already ok IMHO, there's no need to repack cool kits or to release useless new units.

I just played DOW 1 against yesterday, the looted russes the orks have in that game are exactly what we need. Loots of dakka and a big cannon that makes stuff explode.

Didn't the 3rd edition codex have looted russes, looted rhinos and the like listed as choices for orks?
Maybe we can have that back?

Also, would love some smaller artillary in packs of 3! I'm not wasting £18 on a crap looking thing from the 90s.

A larger choppa and moar dakka for less teef.

Or maybe just 20% off everything except Boyz/Stormboyz/Tankbustas/Kommandos

If we could give Burna's a 2nd firing mode that worked like a crappy melta, that would be sweet.

Some additional buffing old blast weapons would be sweet.

And fungus beer, free, for all the boyz.

Stragagem Fungus Beer (-1 cp):
One ORK INFANTRY unit gets -1 to hit, +1 Attack and may shoot twice during their shooting phase with all their guns.

Goff Rockerz need a to make a comeback.

If not more dakka and more choppa is the only way to fix the problem...

...or any problem

Improve Ork flyers, they are really sub standard at the moment.

Hahaha, I like this.

Revisiting Ard' Boyz - After deployment, roll a single D6+3 for a unit of Ork Boyz to determine what armor save that unit has (up to 6+). Do this for each unit of Ork Boyz. Any Ork Boy squad that recieves a 4+ armor bonus this way is dead 'ard, and also suffers -1" to run moves.

In fact, this should be a goff clan bonus to all ork units that start with a 6+

The entire ork codex is sub standard. The Dakka jet is actually one of the only relatively decent units in the whole book. It's still not good, but it's better than average for orks at the moment.

I'm going to set the bar really low.

Give ork vehicles Grot Riggers to fix them.
Let Ork Meks fix the vehicles from inside.
Let multiple Meks fix a vehicle in a turn.
Let Ork Weird Boyz cast spells from open top vehicles.

A way to have fun and be competitive without having to take 150 boyz. i love ork lore in all aspects in and outside of wh.....

Bikers drop back down to 18ppm, gain -1 to hit.

Nob Bikers: drop them down about 5ppm and give them that same -1 to hit. And give them all Kustom Shootas for Free.

Burna Boyz: Drop the price by 2ppm and make Burnas D6 not D3. I understand that on paper they look alright as is but THEY SUCK! They only have 2 attacks...that is it. hitting on a 3 wounding on a 4 means i you have 3 of them you hit 4 times and wound 2 times and they already cost as much as a Marine. And when they get shot at they melt because T4 and 6+ armor = dead model.

Tankbustas: Either give them more range, make them significantly cheaper or give them free armor (4+) because as it stands they are only functional in a Trukk/Wagon and that isn't worth taking right now.

Speaking of which.

Trukk: make it cost 45pts not 70+. Give it some kind of special assault rule, maybe let orks go the full 12, then let them disembark, you have to remember that this thing is a transport but it doesn't have anything to transport right now. MSU Trukk Boyz used to be a thing but not this edition.

Battlewagon: Either increase its BS, double (Possibly triple) its shots and take away its stupid gunz, one of those please. As for transport capacity....Make it 30 or whats the point? It either transports MSU Elite orks or nothing because Boyz need 20 models to get their attack bonus and they can't afford to take 10 off just to fit in the ride.

ALL ORK VEHICLES IN GENERAL: Drop in price significantly. Flyers are all trash, Koptas are about 50% over priced, Kanz/Dreadz need help.

I sold all my orks to a buddy, but I think I would love to give orks he ability to fight from inside a truck. Call it boarding ramps.

And battle wagons should be able to carry dreadnoughts.

In terms of models:
-I own 5000 points of orks, they were the first army I picked up in early 2002. The sculpts for the basic boys at the time were 5 years old and have not been updated since. (Copyright 1997!) If they release a new basic boyz kit, I would be very tempted to pick it up and start a small force.
-Plastic HQ's and Elites
-Upgrade sprues based on clan with various shoulder pads, choppas, boss poles etc that make it easier to customize the force.
-I echo the notion that a dedicated ork tank would be neat, although it will have to be a relativity mobile, resilient and long-ranged unit to have it's own niche not already occupied by mek gunz, and battle wagons.

In terms of rules:
-Mob rule buffed to make taking 50+ boyz truly powerful. (Since fluffy rules are in effect in 8th, we should be seeing something similar to this which buffs the strenght of each boy as the unit size grows.
-Nobs have 2 wounds, hit much harder. Cheap, resilient and truly scary, also fluffy and will give you a reason to field nob squads.
-Point drops accross the board to make fileding a hoard a real possibility.
-Big buff to stormboy mobility/survivability so I can field those glorious sob's.
-Kamikaze option of ork jets and Stormboyz akin to Putrid Detonation in DG codex. Would love to see a guard armored column get smashed to bits by suicide dive bombers.

Nobz already have 2 wounds,fyi.

I think the ork boy kit is one of the best kits GW makes. Surprised it was that old. I love all the extra options and bits.

If the ork line is updated, ork boyz is one of the last kits I would like to see redone

The 1997 bit was very different from the current one. It had 16 boyz but no other options than sluggas, choppas, shootas and a few bitz like the severed head and some shoulder pads. I bought 3 of those kits in 3rd edition era.

In the most recent one there also are more heads, shoulder pads and other small bitz and one additional different kind of shoota, slugga and choppa. And of course the special weapons and the nobz bitz.

The current boy kit is actually pretty good, the only thing about it I don't like is the nob torso/arms, and I've basically been using nobz from the nobz kit to lead my boyz.

Outside of a codex that isn't dancing on the boarder of unplayable, I'd want:
*With the rumor of new buggies, I'd like to see an expanded weapon choice for them, double for the wartrakk since being able to take heavier weapons was their thing in Gorkamorka. *Hopefully that includes Grot Bomb Launchers
*I'd like to see more units get bonuses for being larger sizes.
*Boyz being able to take big choppas! Kommandoes being able to take Shootas! Tank Busta Bombz for everyone! just give the boyz more options to take, an army about individuality should not be as stifling as it is.

Yup, completely forgot wound values on nobz, just goes to show how long it's been since I've played them. I would make the case for bumping them up to 3 wounds, since nobs should be crazy resilient compared to boys.

I know the boys kit was updated to include a bunch of extra bits, heavy weapons, nob torso and heads, but the very core of it is still that ancient kit. Don't get me wrong; I love the boys kit, I've built over 200 boys over the years. It's just that compared to all the new kits it's incredibly basic and lacking in detail. I'm thinking of all the wonderful details they can put into the troops box with the new CAD stiff. Look no further than the flash gitz kit to see what I mean.

I don't know, has enough detail for me. Plus when there is a hundred or so on the feild the details no longer matter. Flash gitz, on the other hand, are expensive kits with only 5-10 in a unit.


Btw, where did we hear the rumours of buggies?

There was a picture of an amored tire leaked by GW which most people see as "new buggies confirmed".

Would be nice if that's true.

I think the main issue with looted wagon is that GW does not make a model for it. They have been removing pretty much all models from previous codexes that did not have models. Although they made an exception with looted wagon in 7th with rules that were printed on WD.

Either make a kit for it please, or do the same exception again. Looted wagon was the orkiest concept in the army. One of the main reasons I started to collect them 10 years ago.

And yeah, lower the points costs for most of the stuff.
