It's a useful way to field a club rhino when people want wysiwig and you don't have enough trukks. But it's inferior to a tukk. 1/6 chance to randomly screw up your allready randomly screwed up army. Trukks are also faster, cheaper, dedicated and have ramshackle. Av 10 in not much worse than av11. A gun is interesting. But it's not gona kill much. First of all, if it has targets, the enemy will just shoot the wagon down. It's av11 open-topped. Than, you still have 1/6 chance to screw up every turn. And than, it's mounted way back on the model, so you have an effective range of like 22-23" for a s7 ap3 large blast.

So, basically, if you want to kill infantry, go for lobbas or lootas. If you want to kill hard stuff, go for lootas or tankbustas. If you want a cheap transport, go for trukk or fw variants.

If you run 3 troops and 2 HQ anyway, which most ork players do so that's not a massive problem.

Not as cool as a biggtrakk with a supakannon though.

I notice it is no longer Unit Composition: 1 Gorkanought!

37pts for a gorkanought would be great, still wouldn't be worth playing them though unless you have a couple thousand dollars to spend on Gorkanoughts

I run dual cad pretty much any time I run my orks. Kilkannon/Ram LWs are a really solid choice, pretty much competing only with Mek Gunz for dominance of the HS slot.

What, are you running Killa Kanz in that slot? Battlewagons? Ick.

Why take LW's when you can take more lootas and mek guns. Both which outclass LW.

If 3 mek gun slots are good 6 is even better. If 6 is even better 9 is even more awesome.

Ummm...Why 3 troops? I can see 4 troops for double cad but there's absolutely no reason to take 3rd troop if you care about power of army(if not then of course LW is fine as welll. Junky unit matters not if you have no care about power).

3 troops is one troop over required. In an army where any choices in troops are worthless piece of junk...

1 HQ & 2 troops with the cad of ! hq and 1 troops? 3 troops & 2 hq?

mmm, well a Gorkanought for 37 or even 40 pts is balanced haha


About looted, is way worst than a rhino since waste a hs option, is more expensive, has less bk and is way more weak. Cant compare at all

Doesn't the Forgeworld dredmob list let you take these as DTs for Lootas?

Cheaper than a battlewagon & a biggtrakk with a kill cannon, More transport capacity as well.

Draft FAQ allows us to use any OOP datasheet so don't worry. Just use the "old WD" version
