I was just starting to shelf my orks to give custodes another go and then GWs did this to me.
Everything in the codex detactment wise is playable, each detactment has 2 of 3 good things between rule/ strat/ enhancement and feel really balanced.
There is NO build restriction in any detactment so you can just take 1000 pts of a themed list like speed waaagh and 1000 pts of good stuff in it and it works well. There is literally something for everyone's play style and almost no crazy wild mistakes.
Literally only things I can think of:
- tankbusta are still trash due to fixed loadouts (maybe point fix)
- weirdly lootas and burnas don't get the same support characters
- losing badrukk was kinda sucky, but flash gitz are still middle good but don't count as nobz (I assumed they would with loss of badrukk)
- currently no day 1 ufthak Blackhawk non legends rules (** still hope for this one or a white dwarf)
- 2+ armour with re-roll 1s (only 1 unit in 1 detactment) might be a dangerous precedence.
Loving the codex it's a good time for orks

Why did they nuke Badrukk?

Why did they nuke Badrukk? My guess is that they are trying to prune away the finecast models. |

Why did they nuke Badrukk? I'm admit I'm no lore expert but I think there are 2 school of thought that overlap here to eliminate him: 1. Old fine cast model, from a stand Pont he needs a new model and GW was no prepared to do one now. This is as good a reason as any we have seen in 10th 2. Ufthak Blackhawk seems to be the up and coming badmoon / freeboota character being pushed. I think a lot of folks thought he might replace him as the named shooty lord. The good news is badrukk is popular and lore supported so its not crazy to see him return in 11th or in maybe some sort of kill team box or something |

The finecast explanation is likely accurate. From what I've seen if you have a finecast model it either gets replaced (lictor, deathleaper) or squatted (red terror) but just like the squats themselves, he might be back later  |

Ork legends lists updated. Looks like the following are legends now:
- big mek kff
- big trakk
- zagstruck
- grot-mega tank
- grot tank
- badrukk
- kill tank
- doc grotsnik
- mega/mek dread
- mek workshop
- nob with waaagh banner
- squiggoth (little one)
- nobz on bikes
- warboss on warbike
Oddly no sign of ulthuk Blackhawk but who knows. That should help bring dread mob inline.

Well, marine took a big hit to units going to legends, so I can't say I'm surprised by a large amount of units going the way of the Dodo. Happen when the Death Guard and THousand Sons codices dropped as well, we lost access to a lot of "main CSM" units like havocs, certain tanks, troops, wargear, etc. etc.
It's not like legends units can be brought out for a Saturday game, just can't really bring them to a competetive tournament.

Then let's here it for Saturday games. You know, the few that aren't testing out tournament lists. 8)

But, back in 8th? My Legends-heavy lists were *consistently* under-gunned and rolled-over by the end of turn 2 (if not 1) I wouldn't bring Legends units to anything other than a friendly game with someone you trust to play a friendly game. |

That's exactly what games involving Legends models are now though. Legends units are the beer & pretzels games of 40k.
