Wargear cards of 2nd Edition 40k (General) - Investigation continues

While the Ork on the Monowheel decides which clan he wants to be a part of I thought it might be fun to go through the general wargear cards available to every race in 2nd edition Wrhammer 40,000.

It has to be said the sheer amount of customisation for your characters is one of the highlights of 2nd edition and the general wargear cards add to that feel greatly, providing oodles of strategy and combinations. Unless you are an invasive alien species from outside the galaxy but we'll get to the Tyranids another day.

There will be some additional input from ever hopeful Warboss Slegg Bloodnug because Orks know what's best :)

Slegg: Alright dere, I got de kno'ows bout dese contraptions. Jus let ol' Slegg guid ya and everything will be gud. If not blame a grot! Nar har har haa!

When picking wargear I like to remind myself that an extra Gretchin is only 5 points and they can take an objective or hold up the angry looking Deathwing terminator, before deciding if I really need it?

Wargear cards of 2nd Edition 40k (Orks) - An Investigation

I'm a big fan of 2nd Edition 40k, it was the edition I grew up on. It is the one which I still like to have the occasional battle or just paint up a miniature or two.

Of course as something I regard with fondness this means I am always reading up on any new battle reports or other blogs about the subject. One such subject that isn't addressed a lot is the merits of the various wargear cards you could equip characters. Now I won't go over every wargear card as I will be here all day, but I am going to do a small review of the Ork specific wargear in this post.
