I'm not looking to be competitive, but I don't want to get completely poo poo stomped either? Obviously things will be different in 9th, buuut: Total Points: 1449 - no idea how I'd want to expand to 2000 HQ (219) Wartrike Big Mek in Mega Armor TROOPS (608) 2x 30 Boyz (6x Rokkit Launcha) (2x Powerklaw) 1x 30 Grechin ELITES (350) 10x Meganobz (10x Kustom Shoota) (10x Powerklaw) FAST ATTACK (272) 1x Shokkjump Dragsta (1x Rokkit Launcha) 1x Boomdakka Snazzwagon (1x Big Shoota) 3x Deffkoptas (3x Twin big Shoota) Both Deff Dreads and Killa Kans look badass. All of the Flyers look cool too but for whatever reason I don't feel compelled to field them. Being able to add a Mek Boy Workshop would be cool, because the model is bad rear end. 40K needs more engines. Put very little thought into War Gear, so I'm not set in stone on how I'd gear up things, just throwing point numbers around. Mostly just Rule of Cool looking for big green boys wrapped in metal Sab669 fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Jul 10, 2020 |

If you're taking 30 boyz squads you should probably take a Weirdboy to throw them around the board. Also, with the way morale and objectives work now, I think MSU squads of gretchin are probably the way to go.

Obviously things will be different in 9th, buuut: Cram a couple shokk attack guns and a pack of 15 lootas in there. Also definitely need at least one weirdboy for da jumping and maybe a war boss. An ork army without the ability to da jump 30 boys somewhere annoying is no ork army at all Also might want to split up your gretchin into more squads and add more What’s your meganob delivery system? Tellyporta?

Here’s some ork advice I posted earlier in the thread that’s mostly still accurateGood Citizen posted:Orks are all about putting enough legit immediate threats on the board that your opponent is paralyzed on what to respond to. Ideally they don’t commit on one threat and you just steamroll them The biggest shift from psychic awakening was kustom jobs if you’re not running with Ghaz. Get three megatrakk scrapjets in a unit, give them korkscrew, and then send them off in three different directions once the game starts. Charge, deal mortal wounds, fight, consolidate, then fight again. All three of them. It rules

I can't overstate how little thought I put into that list last night  I haven't played 40K in well over a year, and even then I could probably count on one hand how many games of 8th I played - then I hadn't played since 5th. Didn't look at the Ork codex extremely closely, mostly just looked at models and said, "Yea these are cool, I want to run these" That said - thanks all for the input. Meganobz are stupidly expensive, dollarwise, and if I decide to do this I'm also gonna pull the trigger on an air brush... But wtf so much money combined

Sab669 posted:I can't overstate how little thought I put into that list last night Meganobz are cool just think about how you’re going to get them to the enemy lines. They’re slow as gently caress. So you’re probably going to want to throw them in a tellyporta or a bonebreaka (fun, but they’re gonna target that thing as the highest priority) and look at how many those things can take. I think the tellyporta caps at like 6? Look it up cause I’m not sure off the top of my head but I think that’s why I had 6x of them in my original advice

Ah, yea, Tellyporta says it's limited to "20 Power Level or less" and Megas are 6PL for 3 dudes, +2PL per model

I haven't gotten into conversions very much but I want to fill out a Meganob unit with my Prophecy boys as a starting point. There's an outdoor swap meet next week so I'll keep my eye out for compatible mecha-bits and whatnot.

You can put 3 meganobz in a mork/gorkanaut, and then Tellyporta that.

If I want to tellyport one in I usually have it empty or maybe toss a big mek with KFF in a Gork cause thats pretty funny. e: you CAN tellyporta a Bonebreaka with 5 meganobz in it though, which is hella funny Good Citizen fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Jul 10, 2020 |

Is first strike supposed to just be used as only its own game? It has squads of 3 intercessors and 3 reivers, but those don't seem like they're usable in squads of 3 in the actual game rules. Filling them out with a replacement box doesn't seem worthwhile either since that just gives you a full squad leaving you with the same extras you started with.

Black Library fired Thomas Parrott: https://twitter.com/parrotttd/status/1281584694551875585 Mr. Parrott says this was done at the instigation of an investor in retaliation for Mr. Parrott's stand against the chud elements of GW's customer base. Seems like GW also has an investor who has publicly exhibited chud behvarious, against women and minorities, but who remains with the company as an employee despite this being called out. Same guy in both cases?  Edit: Possibly relevant Thomas Parrott twitter posts for reference: https://twitter.com/parrotttd/status/1225424012286754816 https://twitter.com/parrotttd/status/1265349151430246402 https://twitter.com/parrotttd/status/1265344417243844608 https://twitter.com/parrotttd/status/1265339130373865476 https://twitter.com/parrotttd/status/1265329085510754305 Maneck fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Jul 10, 2020 |
