A few test games? It'll take much more then that.

Point remains, certain races just do not belong in a table top game with skirmish settings set in the Imperial society for the most parts. Genestealers fit in because of the whole infiltration thing along with the hybrids. When Orks come, they don't come in small groups, but in a large invasion.

I meant the underhive, not the actual game. Orks live there, so whats wrong with skirmish orks?

Ok, maybe I was thinking of Acheron. Anyways, the point still stands.

Uhm, orks don't dwell in the Underhive, there was a story of how a bounty hunter had to retrieve parts of a dead ork that was imported, but orks living in the underhive is not feasable, otherwise there would be either an ork gang by now, or Jervis certified rules for orks.

Don't fret my dear, he was merely confusing Armageddon with Necromunda...

Yep, I got my fluff crossed. Sorry folks.

However, this still opens a potential situation for Orks in a skirmish.

Inqusitor had some good ideas the rules were fully based on 540K fluff so you got the true mesure of just how powerful space marines are-however it failed as both and RPG and wargame as it could never decide what to be.

I'm sure Orks do dwell in the underhive they did invade necromunda at one point and there are residual spores there and thus orks i may be wrong on this its a while since i looked at Nercomunda fluff

Don't call my game of games a failure! crying

my appologies it just makes me mad to see a game with a lot of potential and good idead flounder as GW can't decide which direction to take it in-i mean personally with a little work it could make a good RPG

It does, in fact. I've been using it as such in a play-by-post with a few of my friends.

I think the idea of it was to get a link between RPG and Wargame.

I've played Inquisitor before... Let me tell you the tale of... Lucky.

So, we started out as a group of imperial guardsmen, I was the commanding officer, a psycker, heavy weapons, and a few others... The first time we played the psycker went to do one of his moves, and as a house rule if you get overloaded then you take damage to the head. Well, he managed to get perils of the warp and his head popped... Lucky him.

Later on we managed to take this hill from chaos, Khornate berserkers were about to charge us... This is my first mistake of ever taking a plasma weapon. I fired my plasma pistol while cooking a grenade and it blew up, to my amazement it took off my arm. I stopped for a few seconds, and the gm politly told me that my grenade was still cooking, just before the last tick I threw it and it blew up in my face. Which should have killed me, instead the gm said it Rendered one of my eyes now useless... Since I was the commander they used my leadership score... Which one of them was about to kill me to save their character... Then I finally went into shock from all that damage. And they dragged me down the hill with reinforcements coming.

I got an award and I looked at my gm like I wanted to kill him. Then I was ashamed to find out that they made me an honorary space marine. Which gave me bionic implants for the missing limbs...

Next mission I went into, all summed up is basically I never learnt my lession with plasma weapons, except this time with a las cannon. I blew off my unharmed arm and crippled a leg. Then a khornate berserker (I don't know why but I think my gm is obessed with khorne.) hit me in the head with a chain-axe, however it didn't hurt me, while I managed to kill him... Now my gm's asking me if my charater "Were to happen to die on the next mission" would I be comfortable to have the honors of being a drednaught... I have a bad feeling about this.
