Special rules
Telly-Porta pack: Telly-Porta boyz may always Deep Strike, even if mission rules do not allow. In the shooting phase, instead of shooting they may instantly move D6" in any direction, ignoring Difficult terrain, Enemy units, etc (They are teleporting) after moving they scatter D6".

Crazy: Teleporting is scary enough to drive an Ork mad. When Deep Striking, if the Boyz scatter into an enemy unit they are not destroyed but instead initiate close combat with each boy at initative 3 (Da kunning eley-ment of surprise! Hurr! Hurr!). When first Deep Striking the boyz immediatly shoot at the nearest unit (friend or foe) that is in range. :0

Why does they have bs3? And their stats is something weird between boys and nobs.

 

[Phoenix]

Nice idea. I think the shooting movement should be D6 in any direction, followed by a D6 scatter. It makes it far more random, and removes the potential of an 18" movement. Added to movement and charging, thats 30" a turn potential!

Give them BS2 and I2 and I´d say they´re fair!

 

[Roehug]

I like the idea but would have to agree BS too good. Furthermore squad size is too big for a elitish unit should be 10 or 15 max. When it comes down to it they sound like teleporting flashgits, maybe easier to add 5pts per model and give the backpacks to the flashgits rather then create a new unit, that way your could keep their nob equivalent stats. Still neat concept

You could just take the current flashgitz and take the shaman guy, put them in a unit and use the psychic ability to deep strike them if you roll that one.

Almost all orks, even the most basic ork has a WS of 4, so why do these orks have a combat disability. Initiative three is mostly reserved for nobs, and the ability to live a deep strike by landing on a unit is bending the universal rules.

This is a cool concept and probably a lot of fun to convert. This is a cool house rule, but nothing more than a house rule.

 

[Krimson]

okay how bout they're flash gits who can take telly porta for +10 pts each
all others rules and options are teh same

 

[Morkai]

The only problem I can really see is that the tellyporta really only gives them a scattering fleet move as is. I'd say to add to the randomness of orky tellyporting the distance and the choice of direction should e changed.

For example have the player roll 3d6 for the range of tellyportation and count it as a deepstrike. However have them also roll the scatter dice before moving to see what direction they go in (as tellyportas aren't an exact science.)

Just an idea, though this may make the unit too unpredictable to be useful.
