Hi, I've finally got round to down loading the new rules for EPIC and I've started to dust off some of my old figures. I was wondering if any of the more experienced players can give me some advice on Ork army composition. I've started reading the rules but nothing beats good in game experiance. So any help on what should be used (so that I don't waste time painting 20 Pulsa rockits when they are no use any more) would be great. thanks Big Gazza |

I haven't played EpicA for a number of months now, so my experiance is now dated. What I was finding useful, was large mobs of Orks (as usual) Stompas, Dreads, Kults of speed were very useful. Especially with a speedsta. Though I think the last version I saw had taken them out. There are other players here of Orks (Jimbo and Maksim among others) who can help better. |

It depends on your preference in armies. I like fast and (more importantly) shooty, so I play mostly Bad Moons style. Some of my favorite formations: Da Nobz - Big Blitz Brigade (mix of gun and flak wagonz), 4 Nobz/Boyz, 1 Oddboy upgrade (SupaZzap/Weirdboy Battletower) Da Boyz - Warband in Battlefortress Da Big Mob - Big Warband, 8 Wagonz Shooty Boyz - Bug or Uge Gunzmob, 2 Nobz/boyz, 2 Boyz/Grotz Trakkboyz - Big KoS, 5 each Wartrakks and Scorchas Big Stompas - Stompamob, 3 Dreads, Supastompa... or Big Stompamob, 3-4 dreads, 2-4 kans Tankboyz - Blitz Brigade, 1-2 GunFortresses Flyboyz - Big fighta-bomma mob Landaz (3 formations) - 2 Assault Boats - Stormboyz formation w/ 4 Dethkoptaz (in one AB) - Stormboyz formation w/ 4 Dethkoptaz (in the other AB) Of course, Jervis is still tweaking the final Ork list, so some of those may need to be adjusted when the list comes out. |

Well... They have the Landa, but there's no point in it, really. Everything on the list can get there by itself REALLY quickly, and the best deployment option (stormboyz) is not on the SF list. I do think it's a decent list overall, but it could be improved. Not like that will stop me from playing it... |

SACRILEGE!!!  NOT HAVING A LANDA IS INCONCEIVABLE They're too much fun! Although (keep this confidential) ..... I agree! It fits in the Speed Konsept, but not in the strategic one perhaps.... then again, it HAS been pointed out Orks are not much good at strategy. Then again - Speedaz would love the thrill of a fast ride on a flying trukk, wouldn't they? And it would be nice to have a wheeled vehicle assault supported by a troop landing.... ok, can't be rational where the Landa is involved... can't even take a position.... oh bugger, where are my pills...

On second thought, a landa full of skorchas would be cool. Even though you can only deploy 5cm, you could get all the skorchas and the landa into FF. That would be 10 4+ FF for the skorchas, plus whatever the landa has (2 @ 5+?) and 12 units is a decent size for outnumbering. Stormboyz would still be better, though... |

Light vehicles take up 2 transport slots (it says so on the landas data sheet), so you could only take 5 skorchas, and they come in formations of 8  .I mentioned the same thing on the playtesting forums. I really prefered the KOS as a formation of 5 units rather than 8. It meant they could fit in landas, And the normal\big\'uge formations size was alot more flexible at 5\10\15 than it is with 8\16\24. (can't ever see myself using a 'uge KOS with 24 models). BTW, landas have 3DC and FF 4+. You could fill a landa with a blitzbrigade of 5 deth koptas, but its not that great (5x FF 5+ attacks, you could do better with an ork warband). I think the speed freak warband needs to have the trukks as an upgrade rather than standard, so they can use landas, battlefortresses or gunfotresses. |

Well, as you can tell, I don't use Landaz a lot... I'm not nearly as jazzed up about the list as I was, although it is nice to have an alternative. Jervis has added a bike upgrade for standard Nobz stands and an Outrider bikerz formation (although I think the points are broken). |

Don't worry, Jervis has increased the points cost of the outriders formations now
