Yes and no...
My current plan is a single statline for the Squiggoth itself, but variety
in the amount of stuff it can carry around on its back. So you could have a
lightly loaded squiggoth with just a few hunta boyz and a couple of big
shootas like the current Small level Squiggoth, or you can load the thing
down with everything including the kitchen sink like the Massive beastie.
And some of the stuff it carries may have an effect on its abilities (think
extra armour plating, or Orks sitting on its back with electro-prods,
pissing him off), but no variable levels as such.

So you're not going with the multiple level Squiggoths as the feral list
already has?

I'd agree that you don't want Green Nids. Almost any movement
enhancement you give the Orks will make them that, though.
Here's an idea: The entire army gets the "Feel No Pain" rule.
In this manner you still get lots more Orks into the scrum, but not via
movement enhancements. It's via survivability. >> Stay informed about: Ork Codex Suggestion 1.3 [40K] |

Movement enhancements need to be weak in order not to turn Orks
into Green Nids. I think the movement enhancement we arrived at
further down thread is weak enough for this to not be a problem.

As fixes through survivability I've also seen W2 or T3&W2 suggested.
These enhancements are all quite powerful and would require recosting.
If costs end up high enough that would move the army feel away from
the green horde. I'm not saying that the idea doesn't work, only that
it might be tricky to balance and still keep the army feel.

Could you do survivability by a sort of wall of flesh rule....there are
only so many you can kill in a given time span because the extra bullet
just go into Orks that are falling down...say if the unit has more than X
members at the start of a shooting phase then if you do enough damage to
force a break check then roll the check and then you cant kill anymore
that phase?
