Ork Weaponz

By deinol, in Rogue Trader

I'm prepping myself for running Frozen Reaches and want to diversify what the ork hordes will be wielding in battle. I know Into the Storm currently has the best selection of ork weapon info to date. Are there any other ork weapon stats floating in other books that I should dig up? While we are at it, are there any other ork stats in books besides RT, Creatures Anathama, Into the Storm, and Frozen Reaches?

I noted that the ork burna in TT have the same stats as a standard flamer, so I figure add "unreliable" to a flamer and that's probably all I need for conversion.

Orks thrive on "Kustomizin" & technically, all of their weapons would be rather unique, as there is normally no assembly line in Ork industry. The shootas, sluggas and the like are really just generalizations. I think you can add variety & save yourself a headache by simply taking human arms & "orkifying" them. This is particularly appropriate for SP weapons. Just add Inaccurate & some rusty nailz. Done!

I think Edge of the Abyss has one ork and some fluff.

You'z don't need ta 'ouse-rool a Burna! Dey'z in Inta Da Storm .

Heh, I converted the burna before I found all the good stuff in Into the Storm. Once I did find Into the Storm I was mostly looking up power klaws and stikk bombs, and skipped over the burna entirely.

Edit: My conversion was pretty close though. Clip is slightly larger, dam is +1, range is 15m instead of 20m. If I get around to converting any of the other weapons from TT I'll post them as well.

If you want to really freak them out spend some cash and get a copy of 'ere we go' (circa 1991) and stat out all the incredibly interesting stuff in there.

If FFG does a supplement for Orkezes PULEZE copy it verbatim and add statlines. Quickest supplement ever written.

Highlights: Medical Squigs such as the Syringe Squig, Information on Casualty Recovery, Bionik bitz (Kustom Armz n legs n rebilt kraniums and of course Docs Surprise! Lots of beautiful illustrations! The one of the 'magnetic arm' is sweet! Telescopic legs and Hover leg replacements.

Explosive Kranium is a fave of mine. If you can find one its the book to get.

Please FFG make a supplement from that book!

Hmm. Agreed. I plan to pull it of the bookshelf & crack it open for a refresher!
