Those are the real highlights, but there are some other workhorse things here that’ll see use. The standard extra warlord trail option is incredibly welcome because boy howdy does this book support herohammer, and extra relics are as good as ever. You also keep access to Tellyporta, which is still tremendously helpful to have around, and a few other old favourites such as Grot Shields, Orks is Never Beaten’ and Hit ‘Em Harder.

You then make a Charge roll for the charging unit by rolling 2D6. The result is the maximum number of inches each model in that unit can be moved if a Charge move is possible. For a Charge move to be possible, the Charge roll must be sufficient to enable the charging unit to end that move: These are, bluntly, outrageous powerhouses that should form a part of many successful lists. They’re all substantially better on both the offence and defence, mostly got cheaper, and some were already seriously playable units! Good stuff. Squighog Cavalry At the heart of every great Waaagh! are the Boyz. Beast Snaggas are some of the strongest and toughest Orks around, and you get a whopping 20 of them in the box. Read more about the new Beast Snagga Boyz here.Crusade rules which tell the story of your army, including your Warboss’ quest to keep his boyz in line and stay on top of his Waaagh

These are all Progressive. Orks don’t plan five turns ahead, because they aren’t nerds. Stomp ‘em Good (No Mercy, No Respite) Army special rules for fielding an Orks list, with rules for seven Clan Kulturs, the Ork subfactions We’ll get the Speed Freekz options out the way first because there’s a clear standout – Junkboss gives the model a 4++, and if you have a Deffkilla Trike this is a great add. The others are a little meh, but don’t forget that the regular traits are all available as well.This book definitely looks to support some Vehicle-heavy builds, and there’s likely to be some real competition between Sunz and Deathskulls as to where they end up – the former gives you speed, the latter reliability. It’s also possible you’ll mix up both – the power of Deathskulls is more concentrated in their Kultur than the wider options, so an army with a Sunz Warlord and a Deathskulls add-on detachment seems moderately plausible. Goffs Any list on the old-school Boyz plan absolutely wants a Weirdboy 100% of the time – Da Jump and Warpath are still super spicy things you want in every list. The Wurrboy is a bit more of a question mark – some builds might want one, but there’s another extremely strong way to get access to Beasthead powers that we’ll cover later on. Painboss If your WARLORD is a WARBOSS, then once per battle, in your Command phase, you can call a Waaagh!. To do so, that WARBOSS must be on the battlefield or embarked on a TRANSPORT that is on the battlefield. If your WARLORD is a SPEEDBOSS, then once per battle, in your Command phase, you can instead call a Speedwaaagh!. To do so, that SPEEDBOSS must be on the battlefield. If your WARLORD is GHAZGHKULL THRAKA, you can instead call a Great Waaagh!. To do so, GHAZGHKULL THRAKA must be on the battlefield or embarked on a TRANSPORT that is on the battlefield.

Begin by painting the squigs’ skin with a basecoat of a vibrant red color like Wazdakka Red. Use a medium-sized brush to ensure even coverage on the squigs’ bodies. The Nob is a little less outrageously pushed, costing you nearly as much as a minimum squad of the cavalry by himself, so while the mortals on charge are cool you’ll probably see less of these on tournament tables. They seem like great fun to use though, so a real boon for casual play. Warbikes The Beast Snaggas are the latest subkultur to make their way to the tabletop, vicious hunters who drag down massive beasts and war machines with little more than their stikkas, squigs, and a gung-ho attitude. The Army Box contains a large mob of 20 Beast Snagga Boyz,* along with three Squighog Boyz, a Nob riding his smasha squig, and a fan favourite Runtherd hero returning to lead them.Finally, for your slightly fancier class of plane you have the Wazbomb Blastajet. An important change on these is that they no longer have a KFF, instead being able to buy a Wazbomb Force Field that provides a 5++ aura for Aircraft only. If you find yourself taking several planes it might be worth considering, but it’s fairly pricy for a single one – especially as the planes can still benefit from a KFF on the ground, meaning that if you’re going vehicle heavy and relying on a Boostaed field for turn one protection, these can just tag in on that. Overall, a short list but not a bad one – you’re going to find several things you want every game, especially once you factor in the Clan relics. Psychic Powers Wings Note: Strategically, things are mostly unchanged. You’re still going to want Da Jump and Warpath in a list running lots of Boyz, and probably still have better ways to invest in damage than a Weirdboy tuned to throwing mortals (possibly including a Wurrboy). However, Fists of Gork goes up in value quite a bit, because the things you can do with characters in this book are deeply, deeply unpleasant. Beasthead Powers
