Those things are indeed gone. The Looted vehicles can in some cases
be translated into vehicles, like a Battlewagon with killcannon, zzap
gun, and two big shootas is a stand-in for a Leman Russ. No Land
Raider equivalent or indirect firing, though.

Ironically, a lot of people were complaining that the Orks were
shifting too much back to their old RT and 40K2 style.

>oh well now to try and build a new army around the list .....

That's what I'm doing over the next couple of months. I know a friend
who got a copy of the codex and is doing the same, but he's going even
more nuts over it because his models are here in the US and he's
overseas for the next few weeks, meaning he can't convert or anything.

Dark Eldar are in "initial planning stages"... which means they should
be out sometime after the next ice age.

Yeah, I'll agree with you, some of the clans got kind of shafted.
Still, my Looted Vehicles can be used in Apocalypse and some of them
can be used as Battlewagons or Loota Wagons. I'm actually converting
one of my Leman Russes I hadn't finished into a "Battle Wagon" with a
fighting platform. I can even keep the big gun if I want and just
transport 12 models, which would still be pretty neat.

Try to focus on the positives. Trust me, there's enough to make up
for the negatives.

BRILLIANT!!!!

Best thing is, I can just use the BS from the other books when I look
takes in Apoc, since there's no rule saying I have to use my BS2 like
to old book had.
