Rumors of upcoming Ork formations/rules:

Now that really, really sucks. I have several that I haven't finished.

I think that they're implying that Green Horde let's you HoW without getting in B2B if you roll a 10+ on a Charge. So yay, a return to Swingy Orks. Still looking into an Air Superiority list.

Counts-as. Or Unbound, whatevs.

Plus I can see the Bloodaxe and/or Deff Skull supplements bringing them back.

Just make them "count as" Battlewagons - then take Orks+ork allies and take 8...

I'm really bummed out about the looted wagons thing.. but if they do that, there needs to be something swapped in. Trukks, Battlewagons, Buggies/Trakks.. that's just not enough 'eavy vehicle dakka. In fact.. the Battlewagon would be the only thing considered 'Eavy Armor out of all of that. I sincerely hope that something is being added in to take the place... and I'm not just saying that because I own a buttload of various looted vehicles/wagons/etc. Orks have light armor and we have heavy armored transport.. it's the dedicated heavy artillery/ordnance type and the mid armor flexible vehicle that are going to be gaping voids.

Since way back, Orks have had their own vehicles in these roles without even needing to loot. I'm hoping we're seeing that resurface as opposed to the scavenging thing.. whatever the case I went from excited to extremely hesitant very fast.

The Gorkanaut...?

The Gorkanaut...?

I keep forgetting that's actually usable in a regular game..
It's still a transport though!!! Looking for Lungbursta, Bonebreaka, etc.. a git can dream can't he?
