And what did you run? Did they get first turn?

Sorry it's been a while.

I ran; a biker boss, 2 mobs of 5 biker nobs (2 PK's in each, and other goodies), 2 Dakkajets, 2 Mobs of 10 Lootas in Battlewagons, 3 mobs of 20 boyz with shootas ans big shootas.

Ok, I can see the point of putting a Mek in a Battlewagon. But why Lootas? Surely Burnas would do a better job. You will want to be throwing that Battlewagon forward to get a crap ton of templates down, plus you don't really have to worry about being charged with the amount of overwatch those guys lay down.

Was there some update that allows burnas to fire during overwatch? I keep seeing references on the forum lately about firing burnas during overwatch.

I thought any weapon that couldn't snapshot couldnt fire in overwatch. The rulebook say blast weapons, template weapons and any weapon that doesnt require a bs, can't fire snap shots.

against what they ran, ild say the only thing you did that hurt you was that you didnt put 2 mobs of boyz in the battlewagons to keep them protected and mobile to capture objectives. an ork boy mob can more durable somewhat as lethal in a battlewagon as lootas because theyre throwing a whole brick of dice when they shoot (if theyre shoota boyz) and can sustain more wounds and keep going than what a loota mob can if the vehicle is destroyed.

how did you gear the nob bikers specifically?

go to p52 and look at "wall of death" it says that flamer template weapons can fire in overwatch but can only inflict D3 wounds per flamer weapon.

Thanks Gutstuf, I figured I missed something.
