There's basically no world in which Turbo Boost works. You have to start the turn in the open which means your opponent had every opportunity to respond a million different ways and even then you're throwing effectively nothing upfield faster. If that was a viable strategy, we'd see a lot more flyers.

Or you can stage behind terrain that leaves you with an open sightline to where you're going to want to go.

Planes suck (in part) due to having a MINIMUM that they can move, basically being visible 100% of the time, and having 0 OC.

Bikers can be hidden fairly easily, have an OC of 2 per biker and don't have to move the full 24".

As I stated, throwing Bikers or Snazzwagons into the open for move blocking/screening is a use for being able to rocket 24" across the board. As is just throwing OC onto an objective or table quarter to steal VP, especially when the Trike can move through terrain while doing so.

Is Turbo going to make Speedwaaagh OP? Probably not, but it has uses that can win you games.

Wazzdakka is 175. Expensive, but still more or less a no-brainer if you are running other vehicles.

Blitz brigade looks great to me:
- Assault ramp stratagem
- mini-Waaagh! for Vehicles and Monster (*laughs in gargantuan squiggoth*)
- disembark-shoot-embark for tank bustas
- tank hunta stratagem for firing decks, nauts, koptas and stompas
- Defensive stratagem is limited to rigs and battlewagons. Meh.
- if someone dares shoot your transport, the ladz just disembark and krump the next best thing
- enhancement for redeploying vehicle units. Yes, that includes koptas. And your stompa.

I agree, Blitz Brigade looks really good. And Wazzy is a steal at 175, definitely making room for him.

Speedwaaagh is probably stronger than it appears.

There are a fair number of speed freeks units that don't care about terrain that much (Deffkoptas, Wazdakka, Warbikers with the shokk box enhancement), 24" move with these will be great for scoring (and shooting). Also, even though movement is in a single straight line with no pivoting, it isn't flyer rules movement where you can only move forward - you can drift them sideways if you like.

Dakkamek seems cool. Could generally buff a Trukk full of Tankbustas, or maybe as a one off you could try your luck on a Shokkjump Dragsta - seems like that could jump and shoot now that it gets assault, and could try for the rapid firing/speshul ammo combo for a chance at big dev wounds.

The only problem with Blitz is it has no dice pumping effects. You'll get there, but there's a lot of things that will be a challenge to push through compared to War Horde. It looks super fun though.

Turbo boost might not be a no-brainer to use, but is far from useless.

Even with the stratagem, bikes are neither great fighters, nor great shots, nor are they particularly durable. Just like jump intercessors, their only role is grabbing objectives quickly and then die. None of the other speed freak units want to drive into the enemy as fast as possible either.

Instead, you can easily hide behind a ruin and then zap to another ruin or an objective if you set it up right. It will take some practice to use properly, but 24" is a lot of movement, NML objectives are just 12" from your deployment zone, there is plenty of space to deploy a unit out of range and/or sight and still be able to get there. With a wartrike, you can be as far away as 30" and still threaten an objective,

I see a lot of complaining from people about this across multiple channels, but most of those people clearly haven't actually used ork bikers in a game. Speed freaks haven't been about engaging combat ever since nob bikers were gutted, so not being able to turbo-boost through ruins is a rather minor concern.

The problem is just geometry. The full width of the unit needs an open line to wherever you're going for it to be any use. Even when you set it up, its so heavily telegraphed and really doesn't take a lot for an opponent to stop you beyond turn 1. 11th terrain will probably work better for sure, but its still a nightmare of dual laser lines to pull off.
