SamuriNinja24 Tableau Orkz being bad at shooting isn't entirely true. Kannons, although terribly inacurate, are great at taking down vehicles. If you have a battery of three, chances are, you'll hit one, and it counts as ordinance against vehicles, so it does some serious ripping. Seriously. Plus, their big shoota is the same as a heavy bolter but with ap 5, and assult three instead of heavy. Sure, they may hit lett, but they can go a lot faster for much for killing! HAHA! Also, although their buggies an stuff have very little armour, they're like the boys. You can get a lot! They're the point cost of three space marines, and pack a pretty big punch. Can buggies carry Orks like a transport??? No, but trukks can. Lucky thing is, they're opened top, so you can assault very fast.

Hey, I have reached a problem. Due to the amazing inaccuracy of orks, I read that one should try to avoid rokkit launchas due to the low chance of actually hitting the target. However, I have use these rokkits in several skirmishes with my brother, who uses Tau, and have used them to defeat battlesuits and bring down his transport. My question is, should I obtain more rokkit launchas or should I keep their number to a minimum and choose different units and equipment for anti-armor?
Someone post!

My question is, should I obtain more rokkit launchas or should I keep their number to a minimum and choose different units and equipment for anti-armor? Someone post! If youre worried about them not hitting, either get a couple of rokkt-toting-wartraks (hey, theyre twin linked) or get some ammo runts. It all depends on your style of play. I, for example, have Burnaz in all non-shooty units, and have one unit of Flash Gitz with 5 rokkits and some ammo runts, and the other uit has 5 big shootas. Go wih your gut, dont think about it - thats what the Orks are all about!

I do like the use of Rokkits, however my looted basilisk and Leman Russ Demolisher makes things a bit easier for me. If you use Rokkits, try to get them on vehicles. You can't go wrong with a rokkit Kan. But be careful about taking too many of them . Agianst Eldar, Tau, Guard and Nids, Big Shoota's are way more useful.

Id say, assuming youre refering to looted vehicles and flash gitz, if thats the case i dont see why not. besides it adds to that orky feel and can allow for some great themes.

I love looting, both modeling and game wise.
For modeling, it lets me build all sorts of cool things. My looted Basilisk is always an attention getter. PArtly because its on land raider tracks. But I can't clain that, since my friend built it.
But gamewise, its awsome. You get to sue the stuff that normaly takes orks out. Theres nothing better than destyroying an army with its own tank.
Besides, looting is the Orky way.

Sinrus the Great Oh, can orks loot un-imperial vehicles? Officially? no. Unofficaly? Oh yes. The only vehicles the orks can loot rules-wise is Guard and Marine stuff, but theres nothing stopping you from doing other races, and "counts as"ing (on an ork forum I visit, a guy is making an ork dreadnaught by looting a carnifex.)

Just ask your opponet or write a chapter approved i think it sounds kinda odd that an ork would ever even be capable of understanding (let alone driving) a grav tank of any type it just dosn't seem orky. They want speed but how could they drive somthing that requires that much skill? imperial vechicales are simple which is why they use them.

Orks are as likely to replace the grav engines with an exprsseo machine, as they are to drive it. Plus, the orks don't need to understand something to make it work. the power of WAAAGH! can make it work, as long as they believe that it works.

So my inquiry is which would orks prefer, the large boom of a shell-based cannon or the not as large boom of an energy cannon? (I am assuming the energy-weapons are not as loud for they are not based on using an explosion to propel the projectile at the enemy)

I guess it's possible but i just don't see it looking very good on the table top.
