I've been really tempted by the "new" stormlord kit to take a looted one for my orks. Looking at its rules i don't think fielding a looted one would be very fair because i would be paying lots of points for a model with some guns that'll rearly hit their target because of the puny Ork BS of 2!


Ork Dakkalord Battlefortress

Dakkalords are looted imperial Stormlords that have been given many enhancments. These are only found amongst Death Skull tribes with a single exception of Colonel Sorcks Warband who field many of these behemoths. Once Sorck has done some tinkering and repairing of a crippled imperial stormlord it is put into service but it must pass Sorck infamous test first- this is seing if the enhanced Vulkan Megabolter (known as the "Hellreaper" by Sorcks boyz) can blow up another Warbosses fortress in a single volley of shooting.

A strength 3, 60" range, AP6 Heavy 4 weapon???

AWESOME!

No seriously, looks pretty good. Seems nicely balanced. I'm not gonna stop you using it.

I didn't want to make the gun and uber killer but i wanted to make it orky so random stats were warranted (i sort of based the rules on a Hellblaster Volleygun with a lot of modifications)

Max Stats: (much better than those normally on a Vulkan Mega-bolter)
S8; Range 60"; AP1; Heavy 24

Minimum Stats: (much worse than those on a vukan mega-bolter)
S3; Range 60"; AP6; Heavy 4

Average Stats: (overall i'd have to say worse than a Vulkan Mega-bolter)
S6.5; Range 60"; AP3.5; Heavy14

I've just added a few details about the Dakkalord that i forgot (ie structure points, type, transport capacity)
