Can Orks still manufacture Roks by spending repair points?
When the Ork Roks' and Space Hulks' rules were first published in White Dwarf (issue 238... I think that was in 1999) there was also a textbox/insert called "
Using Roks and Space Hulks in campaigns (With thanks to Jonathan Daniel's for his suggestions)". The 1st and 3rd paragraphs of the box were about the Space Hulks, and years later both of these paragraphs were moved into the main text under the title "
Ork Hulks in Campaigns" on page 61 of Battlefleet Gothic Armada. The second of the original three paragraphs was about using Roks in a campaign... and wasn't copied into Armada. In fact, this paragraph doesn't appear in any of the later Ork PDFs. Is this paragraph still considered official, or was it a case of "retcon by omission"? Later publications don't mention anything about it. I get the feeling that when the article was re-structured and copied over to Armada, somebody cut out the paragraph so they could merge the rest of the textbox into the space hulk rules, then forgot to re-insert it back into the Rok rules.
In a campaign, Orks can build Roks by expending repair points. Once a Rok has accumulated 8 repair points it becomes active and may be added to the Fleet Registry.
