        Well not much - from memory the orks generally took very few of either
unit (well around here they didnt). In fact the orks had a whole horde of fast
moving buggies that usually got passed over for bikes/nobz bikes. Like the
extra choice was well and good but when it came down to it most players never
used a bunch of units (especially where there were a few ones with similar jobs
and one stood out as being better). Theres about the same amount of real
variety in E40k because these similar units have been grouped into 1 generic
one than in SM2 where only one of a bunch was ever taken. In fact you may
even see a greater variety of models on the table in E40k because one of the
old 'inferior' models now does the same thing as the better version so you
can afford to let your army have some.....
