Ethics aside, making the Space Marines pay-to-play while Orks are free would be hilarious, especially if the Orks still have higher odds of winning. Being a walking tank isn’t pay-to-win. You have to coordinate and not get overrun by sentient mushrooms with extra-shooty red guns. Get a few veteran tabletop players to pony up, and they’ll slice through a hundred randos without slowing down… while the survivors think it’s the coolest thing they’ve ever seen.
I think that if you can make being cannon fodder fun, you can make a lot of money.
That’s the easy part, you just have to be able to yell “WAAAAAGH!” while firing indiscriminately like a propa lad
I loved being cannon fodder in the M&B Napoleonic Wars mod.
Nothing beats lining up to face a volley of rifle fire.

I was thinking more about the line soldiers of the Astra Militarum as cannon fodder rather than Orks.
