Hello all!
I was lucky enough to receive my copy of the new Ork Codex yesterday and i thought it only fair to lay out a comparrison of the new codex with the old, so you guys can see whats changed. I will NOT be posting points costs, but i will post point differences IF IM ALLOWED TO. (If not, then mods feel free to replace them/ remove them)
Anyway, lets get started.
GENERAL CHANGES
-Old Zogwort and Wazdakka are gone.
-Looted Wagon is gone from the codex but can still be used because of the WD datasheet.
-Stompa is in the codex as a Lord of War.
-Ghazkull is a Lord of War.
-The codex also contains the Ork Warband Formation.
-Orks have their own FOC with 3 HQ and 9 Troop slots.
-The Ork codex has 6 Ork specific Tactical Objectives that replace numbers 11-16
-No units can be unlocked as troops by HQ's anymore
-Boomgun is gone
ARMY SPECIAL RULE CHANGES
-Ere We Go! Something that almost every ork unit has. if every model in the unit has this rule then they may re-roll a single dice when determining charge distance.
-Mob Rule has changed. If every model in the unit has this rule and fails a morale check or pinning test then you roll on a table.
-On a roll of a 1, if the unit is in combat then it automatically passes the morale or pinning test, if it is not in combat then it automatically fails the test.
-2-3, if the unit includes one or more Ork characters (including independant characters) it suffers D6 strength 4 hits and then passes the morale/ pinning test. These hits are allocated randomly but cannoot be allocated to Ork characters. if the unit has no Ork characters then it fails the test.
-4-6, if the unit has 10 or more models then it suffers D6 strength 4 hits and then passes the morale/ pinning test. These hits are allocated randomly. If the unit has fewer than 10 models then it fails the test.
-Waaagh! can now only be used by your Warlord. Waaagh! now means that on the turn your Warlord calls the Waaagh!, all friendly units made up entirely of models with the Ere We Go! special rule may charge in the Assault Phase even if they made a Run move in the same turn.
PSYCHIC POWERS
-The Powers of the Waaagh!:

-2. Warpath: Blessing that targets the Psyker. Same effect as before but only works if the models in the Psykers unit have ther Ere We Go! special rule. Warp Charge 1
-3. Da Jump: Blessing thats the same as the old Ere We Go! power, except that it does not mention teleporting out of combat. In addition, if the unit scatters when deepstriking and a double is rolled, it can only fire Snapshots untill the start of its next turn. Warp Charge 1
-4. Killbolt: An 18" Strength 10 AP 2, Assault 1 Beam. Warp Charge 2

If you roll another 11 or 12 with the second attack then resolve another attack as described above, repeating the process untill a 10 or lower is rolled or the target is destroyed. Warp Charge 2
