"What's funny is that if you go by what you consider to be the correct ruling for doc's tools then your unit of kommandos doesn't benefit from the mad doc giving them FnP because he has the exact same rules as the painboy. Not many people make that connection though."



i never even said he gave fnp the point of mad doc is to give everybody on the board cybork bodies ie 15 komandoes with cybork bodies and snickrot and having the doc's pk helps alot too plus with 17 total in the mob thats a good chance for multiassault if prepped right, snickrot and most komandoes at one thing, mad doc at the other

I suspect that unless I hit im2randomghgh with a flaming weapon he well ignore that wound on a 4+...

OP: Ghaz is tough... like all tough units find ways of making them less useful, instead of killing them. Would you try to kill 10 terminators with thunder hammers, storm shields... no, you would try to limit their mobility by tank shocking them away from the fight, walk around a vehicle or assault the vehicle and only hit on :6:... Now ghazghkull has been reduced to taking out a single empty trukk/rhino a turn instead of a unit a turn.

When I am playing with orks against orks, I use trukks or buggies to accomplish this. If I was space marines, I would use a rhino, speeder or razorback (It is doing more by being a screen then it would do by shooting). Tau would do this with piranhas... etc.

Read an earlier post... he just plays Tau and usually equates "My unit is within assault range and they assault it" to "My unit dies"... That and the Tau codex does not have a single model above WS 5...

The best way to kill Mr. Ghaz-pain-in-the-face....


Step 1. Bring snipers (Vindicare Temple Assassins).

Step 2. Load the chamber with Turbo-Pen round or Hellfire

Step 3. Pick him out of the unit (sniper rule)

Step 4. Watch the red/green mist that once was his brains get blown away in the wind.

Step 5. Victory dance.

4 wounds... He cannot be in a vehicle or in an assault... That would require 2 rounds of shooting and he would still get a 5++ save if it was not during his Waaagh!

I am way late to this thread, but Thraka has Adamantium Skull which makes him immune to Instant Death.

They neither ignore his armor nor cause instant death.

Yeah, most MC can beat Ghazzy, but other than that, fight from a distance, or in overwhelming quantities.

Spoiler:

Something tells me that AP1 actually does ignore his armour.

On the armour thing, it DOES ignore his armour, but with his PotW, he's going to activate it and get 2++ when you assault.

Where do you get these ideas? MOST MC can beat Ghaz???? I have to say, Ive yet to throw Ghaz at a MC and walk away sad and beaten

Maybe because he walks around with 30 Nobz?

You can't even take a unit of 30 nobz. Where do you even come up with this crap?
Against anything short of nightbringer, ghaz IMHO (and most likely mathhammer) should win. Even against nightbringer its pretty close.

What I does ghaz fight at, is it normal due to PK? (ie 1)

If so, the either of the star gods should do some serious hurting, being S9 and 10, ignoring armour and invul, 5/6 attacks etc

Wow, this topic has had more replies than I ever thought it would, thank you all, Ghazghkull Thraka is going down! (btw anymore suggestions would still be useful because i am always looking to improve my game)

Ghaz goes last, so will get badly hurt by either. Nightbringer and him have same WS, so nightbringer will most of the time come out on top, but usually in the second round of combat. If he doesn't kill him on round 2, ghaz should win.

The deceiver has 1 less attack and lower WS, this pretty much spells his doom vs ghaz, if he chose to fight (deciever can just hop out and avoid fighting).
