I don't really know where to begin making a mod - I think I might've started with making units and stuff cos it seems most fun, but you're almost certainly right. I was just wondering to do next and the thought popped into my head. I might give biological animation a go. I'm thinking mega-armour orks, as it's sort of a transition between mechanical and biological.... It'll take a while though, and I seem to be wasting a lot of time playing with openfx at the moment...

 

[Communisto]

making infantry is a good idea, since the mod has none.

have you ever noticed that kinboat's futuristic infantry guy would make a good tau fire warrior with a tan colour conversion.....

 

[Goldflash]

Done some Updatin' to tha Oks. Still not finished though.

Burna Boyz

A Mob of Four to five boyz, most of which would have burnas but the others would have shootas. They'd come with Military Data and would be able to clear jungles and forests.

From reading this, it sounds like your asking for MUnits, right? If so, it should be no problem.

I also like the idea of the "Sooiside Bomma" - very orky

 

[embryodead]

NOOOOO ... MUnits are crap :-\

 

[Goldflash]

I'm just trying to capture the essence o War Hammer. I'm looking at Kodex:Orkz even as we speak... and I

Mob:The Mob Consists of between five and ten Burna Boys.

Weapons: Slugga and Choppa

Options: Up to four models in the mob can be armed with a burna at +6 points.

That said, I now think It would be better if the Burna Boyz Unit was just one Ork with a Burna. The Mob (Or Da Boys) Should be a MUNIt. Well, not so much as a MUnit, but a unit with multiple figures, like Kinboat's Bond.

 

[embryodead]

The definition of Infantry or Legion or whatever isnt 1 person, still they are represented by 1 figure in Civ3.

 

[Goldflash]

Yes, but I still think the Ork Mob should be more than one Ork. Since it is. .um.. a mob. Sure, I could have Slugga Boyz and Shoota Boz and Choppa Boyz, but that just complecates things.

 

[embryodead]

Uh and Legion is.. um a Legion.

 

[Goldflash]

More updating to the Orks

 

[Mr. Will]

There's a Rhino APC model on 3d cafe... Just thought you'd like to know...

[Goldflash]

Again with the updating. The Mob unit is no more. Instead, we have the Slugga and the Shoota. More updating coming soon.

 

[Goldflash]

I told you so. Getting almsot sort of clsoe to done with the Orkies

 

[Goldflash]

Almost done with the Orks.,.. just a few more units to go...

 

[Goldflash]

I think thats all for the orks!

 

[The Great Apple]

I think thats all for the orks!

Where are the boarboyz? We need boarboyz! Also I'm not too sure about the Goff UU having no close combat weapons - these are GOFFS - completely crazy smash 'em on the head. Maybe a shoota and an axe. Or two axes attached to his side so he can switch?

 

[Goldflash]

WTH is a boarboy? And Okay yes, the More Dakka Stormboy needs a a close combat weapon (Chainsword!).. And a better name.

Ummm, it's an Ork, on a boar. They're kinda explained on page 254 of the 3rd ed rule book:

"These Orks ride into battle on the backs of ferocious and barely trained warboards. Boarboyz' tactics are simple, charge in a great thundering avalanche of squealing, noisome pigflesh and pound the enemy flat."

And a description of a boar from page 28 of the 2nd ed Ork Codex:

"[A boar] is a fierce and stubborn beast, with sharp tusks, a thick skull, and the odour of a dungheap."

You could also get cyboars, which were the same, but with mechanical bits, and a big button which pumped the boar full of steroids for a turn!

They'd fit quite nicely as a snakebite UU, though I also like the weirdboy idea. Definately not for the evil sunz though.

 

[Goldflash]

Maybe we should have Boarboys as a standard unit and allow the Snakebitez the special Cyboar upgrade? And and Know what? Remember how I siad I needed a few more dreadies and kans? well I lied. Don't worry about 'em.

Edit:

Okay I replaced the Megakannon with the Squiggoth.
