Title: How to make Orks wOrk?
Post by: Lyksus on January 21, 2015, 11:53:20 PM: How do you guys make your Ork fleet wOrk?
Or how would you make a Ork fleet wOrk?

I like to take as many Ork Kroozers as possible and rush them up to the enemy and try getting i to boarding action and take may enermy out that way, whil i have some escort flanking, or just supporting my fleet while it's approaching them.

What's your thought? 8)

That said, I was working on a version of the ork fleet before i started my own project, the main thing involving a ton of guns and right shift for inaccuracy, like the eldar get a left shift.

Post by: horizon on January 23, 2015, 12:40:29 PM: Problem with the Orks in the main rulebook and armada was that the game to be effective was to load on Terror Kroozers and leave out escorts. Which was odd for a raiding fleet.
The new 2010 rules for Orks made escorts a pretty good choice in my opinion.

Post by: Lyksus on January 24, 2015, 12:16:53 AM: Do you get the "heavy" escort in the 2010 rules?

Post by: horizon on January 24, 2015, 05:46:58 PM: iirc... nope. Heavy, two hit escort, is in the BFG:R fan rules.
