Which unit is the worst in the ork codex

Start us off.

Also, why are you asking?

Grot mobs.....

Flash Gitz?

Flash gitz can be amazing sometimes if you roll a 1 on your AP roll.

I'd say buggies

Flash gits. Not a bad unit, just competing with battle wagons, killa kans, deff dreads, and looted wagons for a heavy weapon slot.

Big mek with burna attached to a lootaz mob

Gloryhog special rule really limits Tankbustas. Also, stormboyz seem too pricey for what they do.

Burnas

buggies >.> buggies rock av 10 vehicle squadren I'd take em over deff koptas any day

as for the worst unit...

there's a few that should get mentioned

the only fast attack would be stormboyz which just cost to many points for what they are... jsut regular boyz with jet packs

flash gitz get a look but ultimatly they can be useful situationally so theuy get a pass as not worst...

kannonz rock btu the other two lobbas and zzap gunz are way to situaytioonal and cost to many points to be viable fo most lists

tankbustaz are a neat idea... but gloryhogs makes them kiteable against anythign you'd want to sue them for... they end up pretty useless

our two troops rock, hq are all situational really those are the only lemons in the codex imo

Looted Wagon

Stormboyz

I have had a lot of success with Storm Boys and tankbustas. I think the reason why they don't work for a lot of people is that they use small units of them , with no armour you have to have big units of these guys. The best way to use tank bustas and get around the glory hog rule is to use a spare truck or buggie to shield them and block their line of sight to tanks you don't want to shoot at. The storm boyz extra D6 to the jump move is a killer to some people who think that they will have an extra turn before they have to think about them. 15-20 of them slamming in to most units will do some damage, but they are shock troops to distract from the rest of the army. Even with the tankbustas you get lucky some times. On some games I have taken out whole squads with them, you just have to use cheap vehicles and terrain so you choice their target and not the glory hog.

As for worst unit, I would have to say Flash Kits. They have some good potential but are really unreliable, and are just not as good as the other heavy choices for the points Just about all the other options in the book have a good use. Even grots. 30 grots with 3 slaves and squig hounds sitting on an objective in cover can be very useful for very few points.
