my brother has an ork army and he asked if i knew anything about the mob rule.....i dont know anything about orks.

the mob rule makes a unit of 11+ fearless, and they can substitute their leadership value of 7 for the amount of models in the unit up to 10 once they are down to 10 guys. thats how i interpret it anyway. am i reading this wrong?

but what about the units that are not allowed to have more than 10 i.e.:

the unique characters except mad dok
warboss - 1
big mek - 1
weird boy - 1
nobz - 3-10
mega nobz - 3-10
deffkoptas - 1-5



are these guys always fearless per mob rule?

You got that right...

The key is the # of orks...

So, if you have max squad of nobs with a warboss joined... then there's 11 orks in that squad, thus the unit is fearless.

Only units of more than 10 models are Fearless per Mob Rule..

so the warboss, big mek and weird boy can join the group of ten making it 11 and fearless, got it thank you

ohhhh...what about the koptas, how does that work? there is only up to 5 in a squad.

Use their natural leadership of 7.

If 5 is the max, then 5 is the best they can hope for. Best stick to using their Ld7, they will never be fearless.

Remember, using the mob rule is optional. If number of boys is less than their leadership, stick to using their leadership

You also can, if you want to try to fail a Ld check, substitute the number of Orks for Ld, even if their natural Ld is higher.

cool thanks guys!
