<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Has anyone gangs of commorragh jet, and would it be fun using ork models ?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Has anyone gangs of commorragh jet, and would it be fun using ork models ? Has anyone played it or read the rules? For it seems to be a perfect ruleset for some cool ork jetbike ork game based on what I have seen on youtube.

[EDIT]To prevent any further well meant echo's about what models to use. I am not planning to use foot slogging models of any sort. What I am planning to use are ork equivalents of Jetbikes and skyboards ; )
this sort of stuff. ( note they are not my models)

The rules would probably be pretty silly if you used any other models though. The idea of ork boyz running so fast that they can barely turn and can't stop to turn around, or to keep himself from running into a building is a little silly. Also ork boyz don't work there way up into becoming nobz like reavers and hellions work there way into becoming arena champions. Nobz are just born that way, but that's a pretty minor complaint.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9168313.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9168313.page GMT Has anyone gangs of commorragh jet, and would it be fun using ork models ?

They would be pretty easy to port over to other models the only problem I would see is that the templates you use for turning are made for the small flying base. It's probably close enough that it would work for storm boys. Turning a ork biker 45 degrees by his center would be difficult. I think deffkoptas use larger flying bases so it wouldn't fit, but might still be doable.

Er.. Nobz aren't born that way, they are boyz that have managed to grow strong enough that the Boyz think of him as da boss and get bigger as a result. It's a combination of age + strength + belief of bosshood.

Orks grow all through their lives; the effect is particularly notable in successful Orks. As the Ork survives combats and wins trophies, the respect of other Orks will produce in him an effect somewhat similar to adolescence in the human male: He puts on muscle, becomes more aggressive and assertive, and generally throws his weight around. If he wins the ensuing challenges to single combat, he may become a Nob, a leader or chieftain of Orks, noticeably larger and tougher than the average Greenskin

My deffkopta's look like jetbikes with jet engines etc and I do have a ton of storm boys but orks on a jet to be scratch build sky board might be more fun.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9168345.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9168345.page GMT Has anyone gangs of commorragh jet, and would it be fun using ork models ? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9168496.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9168496.page GMT Has anyone gangs of commorragh jet, and would it be fun using ork models ? what are the upgrade options.

Is it a game you an only play a few times or is it actually a good game to play regularly where you can build quite diverse gangs]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9168515.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9168515.page GMT Has anyone gangs of commorragh jet, and would it be fun using ork models ?
A modicum of common sense would allow the same game mechanic to work on another world, with other teams. (Oh, wait....)

It looks like fun, with elements of tactics and strategy, some luck, and, in campaigns, a small random element I like the look of. In one scenario, scourges populate one of the tower tops, taking potshots at anyone who flies too close.

Teams are points based, with experience, weaponry and vehicle all having an effect. Wound/save mechanic is simpler, and damage counts. There's a balancing decision to be taken in you split up your warband, with benefits in a campaign.

More comments perhaps after I play it on Wednesday, but so far, it looks like fun, and maybe even sustainable.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9168827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9168827.page GMT Has anyone gangs of commorragh jet, and would it be fun using ork models ?
First thing is a Scourge gang, and the playtest pack is now up for them.

Taking EldarMorka back to it's Ork roots is a huge temptation for someone with a big box full of Orks.

It will need boarding and infantry rules though, but writing these shouldn't be that hard.

+1 for this. Orks are not Tyranids. They're Orks. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9175095.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9175095.page GMT Has anyone gangs of commorragh jet, and would it be fun using ork models ? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9175989.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9175989.page GMT Has anyone gangs of commorragh jet, and would it be fun using ork models ? 40k.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9177006.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9177006.page GMT Has anyone gangs of commorragh jet, and would it be fun using ork models ?
There is even rules for mixed units of jump packs and jet bikes.

Now the rules are somewhat specific as it has mechanics for clatrops and it mentions heat lances by name, but I'd think any other wargear upgrades could easily be count as, as long as the wargear item is unique on the model that has it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9177112.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715924/9177112.page GMT
