Simple. I like the clans. I don't like the GorkaMorka Orks. From what
I've heard, that's what they'll be. Also, how many Space Marine special
weapons got messed up? Almost all Ork artillery (especially Pulsa Rockets)
has gotten reduced to being "Big Shootas". Pulsa WERE good for setting
screens, corridors of fire, etc. Now they'll fly over to the target area,
go BOOM! and that's it.
