i think it is a mistake to remove the character models. ?I love them, they add spice and variety even if there aren't any rules for some of them. ?Rank and file is boring, and nothing is more cheesy than a tactical marine with a banner on him. ?I think this will just make the Epic40k ones worth more. ?I think when players do get the new sprues they'll think they are boring. ?I think the Epic40k ones are just the best period.

As I said, we use each Tech, Lib., etc. on a separate stand as in SM2.  We even use Pain Boy/Mad Doc., Mekboy, Warphead, Weird Boy, etc. for Orks, and Cypher for Chaos.  Just use your imagination.  We do use Shokk Attack Gunz as Big Gunz ... an easy fix ...    :;):

I know Jervis had to abstract a little for the Orks, but surely it wouldn't have been hard to have a painboy as an upgrade 0-1 giving invulnerable to the Nobz/warlord stand. ?And so on for Weirdboyz etc.

There was a painboy upgrade, but for 50 points for an oddboy, it just wasn't worth it.  Even if it had added a MW attack and invulnerability, it still would have been better to just buy more nobz/boyz for the points.   Heck, even with MW, invulnerability, reinforced armor, and thick rear armor, it still would have been better.

Just to be different... I don't think all these ork character models need their own rules. The models are great for adding variety and character to ork units, but I believe they are already 'factored in' to the rules for Nobz etc.  

Only when they make a significant difference, eg mekboys 'soopa guns' should there be special rules IMHO.

It's a game about armies, not individuals  :p

Hi!

Well, I love variety and detail, so having different models and not different rules for them is a bit of a waste. But you expect that sort of comment from the net epic coordinator.  :D
