Sybarite Swinging an Agonizer

As the title says, what is the AP value of an Ork Wreckin' Ball? Codex doesn't provide an AP value and there is no mention of it both the GW FAQ and the INAT FAQ. If no value is mentioned, does it mean it is AP -? Or is it AP 1? Or do we just take the middle ground and treat it like AP 6 or something?

Didn't know that was a valid AP value.

It is. Just like a close combat attack.

It actually isn't, that's the whole point. Hitting without AP is not the same as hitting with AP-. See close combat attacks, none of them have an AP value, but still none of them get the penalty for being AP- when rolling on vehicle damage tables.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe. |

Yup, it doesn't have an AP because AP simply doesn't apply to it. It's not AP-, or AP 'Nothing'... it just doesn't use AP at all.

Makes sense. Kept thinking of it from a shooting perspective.

Much like the Deffrolla, which apparently comes equipped with foam spikes and projects a 'soft-mud field' ahead of it to press people into
Great against vehicles, but not so hot against most troops.(especially MEQ unless they tank that 3+ save  )

The Viletide: Daemons of Nurgle/Deathguard: 7400 pts
Disclples of the Dragon - Ad Mech - about 2000 pts
GSC - about 2000 Pts
Rhulic Mercs - um...many...
Circle Oroboros - 300 Pts or so
Menoth - 300+ pts
