This thread is for every GW players favorite green race, the Orkz. Voice your concerns here and maybe we can finally sort this race out into something that's fluffy and can better compete.
Personally I think they should be a race which has lotsa Dakka but can't hit the side of a barn and requires massed firepower to get the hits in. So as a race, they should have the most guns on any ship class and ordnance but they should have a negative modifer when it comes to hitting.
For example. WBs vs a 5+ armored ship would be hitting at 6+ instead. Lances are rare with the Orks. Should be hitting at 5+ instead (6+ vs holofields). Ordnance, same as the WBs. Exception would be the Assault Boats (which they should have) and boarding torps. They should get better chances for crits as well as to board.
Armaments should get at least 1/3 increase in strength as well as Launch Bay and Torpedo strength. Maybe even half. Probably not double. Majority of the weapons should be in the 30 cm range. The battlekroozas and battlezhipz limited to 45 cm. Their FBs can now follow the standard Bomber rules with Fighter Suppression since they will need higher rolls to hit. So (D3-turrets)+Modifier (whatever the final decision is, +2 or +3). Their ordnance should be able to rival if not exceed Tau at the expense of efficiency.
Defensively, they should retain the Shield Strength and Armor setup. They should however get an increase in turret strength but requiring a 5+ to hit vs regular ordnance, 6+ vs holofields. I'm also thinking they should get more HP per class but they suffer crits on 4+ because of their haphazard design.
Their ships could do with a bit more speed but not as fast as Eldar or DE. Possibly 5 cm more than IN per ship class.
Special Orders-wise, retain the no need to pass Command Check for AAF.
I'm thinking each escort should get another 5 point discount but their cap ships should get an increase. This is to encourage the Swarm mentality.
Those are starters for now. Not saying they're all correct. With colloboration, we should be able to hash out something which will do Orks justice so further suggestions and comments as well as critiques would be welcome.
