I have what should be fluff question, but I just played in a tournament where one of the other players complained to the judges about the “What you see is what you get” design of my army.
I field an elite heavy Ork army with most of the minis having cybork parts “looted” from Necron models (I wrote some fluff about my Big Mek obsessed with creating an "Orky Nekron Waaagh"). His complaint was that the Necron’s self-regeneration and resistance to psionics would make it impossible for an ork to use it for cybork bitz. At best they would hang uselessly and at worst the try to kill its host.
My argument was that the ork’s gestalt psychic field and the mek/painboyz’ being accustom to “looting” bitz actually aided in fusing the parts to the lucky ork. Another player pointed out an orks fungus based regeneration and the necron’s living metal based regeneration might even result in a genetic hybrid.
Nevertheless, after bring the tournament to a grinding halt, he finally caved to peer pressure, but I had to deal with over 2 hours of passive aggressive comments. Aside from players sucking the fun out of the game, what is your take? Can orks use looted nectron bodies for cybork parts?
