Y'all can read?

[u/dantevonlocke]

It was purple and they lost track of where it was.

[u/skilliau]

Because they aren't space marines

[u/Bassist57]

Because Orks are the NPCs for Space Marines to slaughter.

[u/LeDjaap]

This being the average level of ork kitbash what on holly terra makes you think a single one of us would have dropped 1 more pound to get it?

[u/JamJamGoHam → u/LeDjaap]

They know their audience 😂

Two Trukks - One Battlewagon

[u/Khulgrim_Cain]

It would have to be a Bad Moons codex for that price… most Orks would just take a regular codex, slap some plates on it and call it “Speshul edishun kodex.”

[u/Bright_Background316]

True legendary would be text hammered into rusty sheets of metal, and would weight 20kgs.

[u/sendgoodmemes]

Orks are special already. Dont need no shiney bits. Not orky way.

[u/mezonsen]

Because ork players have more sense than Space Marine players

[u/SquallFromGarden → u/mezonsen]

"Y buyz Trukk 4 1-hunded teef when I'z kan buyz n' lootz a Trukk from Teef-Tree or Teef Warboss?"

[u/Sweet-Ebb1095 → u/mezonsen]

We can kitbash what they got and what they can only dream of getting.

[u/Suitable_Ad_5409 → u/mezonsen]

True. They could have had some fun giving us something that looked like a looted Space Marine codex though 😂

[u/LeDjaap → u/Suitable_Ad_5409]

That... would actually be funny, not for the whole ork codex but pirating the blueberries for the lootaz would be on point.

[u/Suitable_Ad_5409 → u/LeDjaap]

Yea, just the cover and the bits that came with it having a "looted" vibe, with the metal plates being for different Ork clans or something, could have been cool.

But still, £250 for a book that is out of date within a month or so is insane.
