ahem. let not forget eldar stuff
 90cm, have a BM
 60cm, have a large load of AT shots,plus BM

ork stuff
 45cm, have some FP,if hit, get a BM
 30cm, Deth Ray, just don't roll a 1 B-), have a BM

as an Ork player, i would GLADLY take a 60cm AT shot in place of a 30cm DR

the problem with Orks is they don't get to 30cm to shoot. They are all
dead/broken from 60cm AT shots before they get into range. Those AT shots
bypass the bikes and kill the speedstas.

I wish the Speedsta was a basic item, not a KoS support only item
I use Speedstas the way i used to use braincrusha and spleenrippas.
it just doen't "feel" like the old ork army. I don't like using so many
speedstas, but they are the only effective unit for Eldar or Landraiders

We all realize that using FP against +6 armor doesn't work

I want something between a deth ray and FP for the orks

There used to be many ways to skin an Eldar, just in E40k, most of those
ways are gone.

Besides, this gives me the excuse to say"ELDAR CHEEZE!"

I feel much better now.
