I was wondering if the shoota boyz has the same amount of attacks than a slugga boyz. In the codex they have the same entry (ork boyz can trade his slugga and choppa for a shoota).

I was originally thinking that since the shoota boyz only has one CCW, they would get a base of 1 attacks in CC, 2 during a charge, but the codex does not say anything about that. So in normal CC, does the shoota boyz get 1 or 2 attacks (not on charge)

Shoota boyz share the same profile, so have 2 attacks each to begin with. +1 for charging means 3 when they charge in.

Slugga boyz are armed with a pistol (the slugga) and a close combat weapon (choppa) and therefore gain a BONUS attack (page 42 from memory) to give them 3 normally, 4 attacks when charging.

Check the faq on the gw site but if its not in there then RAW states that they have 2 attacks base. When I use army builder the slugga boyz have 3 base attacks min their profile so dont let people argue that shoota boyz only get 1 attack

Chaos Marines 1850

2500++ (Wraithwing)

It is two base attacks for shoot boyz and for slugga boyz its two base and one for having two on-ehanded weapons. I'm sure army builder just auto-defaults it to 3 attacks to make everything quicker but they should really have put a 2(3) in the stat line.

Shoota boyz - 2 attacks + 1 for charging
Slugga boyz - 2 attacks + 1 for 2x CCWs + 1 for charging.

Orks can pile on the attacks something fierce, especially with slugga/choppa, but don't discount the value to machinegunning your target first, then charging.

You'll likely go last in combat against most opponents (as most opponents seem to be marines or eldar) so plowing them with automatic fire tends to take the edge off their numbers.

I use both types of boyz, and they both have value, so it's up to your preference

Don't forget to fire off those sluggas before the charge too, assuming you're not mid-waaagh (you'll fire them in the air as you belt along instead..)

i was talking to one of my friend.

He told me that since the A2 in the code xis with the basic wargear (slugga n' choppa) i would not get +1 attacks if i take slugga boyz. IS this true?

Nope, I think your friend may be a either a lier or mis-informed. All standard rules apply, 2 base attacks, and then another for 2 CCW. Always standfast, and seek a second (or third) opinion on these matters

100% totally incorrect.

The extra attack from 2CCW is NOT included by default; where it is included (normally special characters) they tell you explicitly.

They have 2A base, +1 for 2CCW, period. Otherwise there would be no pooint having sluggaboyz - you would lose range and shots, and for no gain.

Absolutely not. Occasionally, where wargear is not optional, it's included in the profile but it's shown as such. For example, you could show a slugga boy as 2(3) - 2A basic + 1 for wargear.

No, this is where orks are awesome.

A mob of 20 boyz can fire off 40 shots, with around 13 hitting. At S4, that's pretty hard. And then you pile in with 60 attacks. Definitely don't forget the big shootas. A few extra shots at S5 aren't to be sniffed at.

Ork shooting and fighting is all about the numbers.

The hard part is getting there.

But the sight of 200+ orks piling across the battlefield is truly awe inspiring, and can be managed for less than 2000 pts

Gotta love orks. You can spam so many bodies that some will almost always get through (maybe not against guard or nightspinner-eldar to krump 'eads.

Swarm nids were the same way when i played them, but i no longer have Nids.

I got in a swarmfight with a nid player last week. Green tide 3000 pts of infantry orks vs tervigon spam gaunts and stealers. The game had really short shooting phases, and epic assualt phases We each brought a bucket for the dice rolls
