there were two different types of basic ork stands.The first ork mob you
were alowd to create in a Clan had an ork heavy plasma weapon with each
stand and it had extra fire power.Any other mob from the same Clan had only
bolters and appropriately the standard firepower like they have now. The
first mob from another clan had a heavy weapon,the rest none.I still use
them that way so the first clan of my BigBoss clan mob is as powerful as SM
devistators.I also remember the Thevin DeathSkuls had more Heavies and the
Rich Evil Suns had Stompas usually attatched to the First Mob as well.
