In the DoW vanilla campaign mission 'Destroy the Xenos', the dialogue in the beginning between Bale and Sindri went like this:


Lord Bale: The thought of kowtowing to these 'creatures' disgusts me.
Sindri: The Orks are a tool, nothing more, and quite an effective one, I might add.
Lord Bale: Perhaps. But I dislike providing such unpredictable aliens with our own weaponry.

My question is... what does he mean by "our own weaponry"? Granted, he told Orkamungus about "weapons and Imperial tanks" to use on the battlefield." This certainly refers to the Looted Leman Russ Tanks, but what about the... weaponry? What kind of weaponry belonging to Chaos (or ex-Imperials) did they hand over to the Orks?

Does it matter?

I prefer not to hurt my brain trying to think of them.

Looted imperial weapons and ammunition, astartes weaponry to an extent... You must remember that these guys are the Alpha Legion.

Probably Bolters and such, though after a minute in ork hands it'd be hard to see where the bolter was....

Yeah, probably meant the Imperial technology they had from since the Horus Heresy, as well as stuff they captured.

But it's not really worth analysing that much :p

Heavy bolter + broken power fist + something from a tank = custom shoota!

Well, I was expecting something special, since Orks have always been using looted stuff from countless sources. Ah well... Thanks for the answers!
