So in the ork Battle Mission "Waaagh!" the special rule Waaagh! without end, states that

Battle Missions Pg 60 wrote:
If the Ork player wishes, he may carry a Waaagh! into a second or subsequent turn

as you are aware, Ghrazkull's Waagh! replaces the normal one, allowing him and the army benefits such as auto rolling 6" for their fleet, and granting Fearless to everything not already falling back (both for the entire duration of the Waaagh!) as well as giving him a 2++ save for the remainder of the turn and the next player turn.



Due to the phrase "replaces the normal Waaagh!" I would say that this mission rule allows the entire army to get Fearless and autofleet 6" for the entire game if it were called on turn 2, though the 2++ would expire by next Ork turn.

Where do you stand?

RAW you have a completely broken scenario. It states that he benefits from Waaagh!!! in this way as well as conferring these bonuses to the army. I wouls suggest discussing with your opponent before the game begins but if you want a RAW opinion then you have a rigged game IMO

Ghazghkull's WAAAGH! Without End?

Both terrifying and awesome in equal measures!

That would be over powered (then again so is a normal WAAAGH! every turn). Best discuss with your opponent.

As a comprimise you could suggest normal WAAAGH! but allow Ghazghkull's to be used for one turn (except first). That's just a personal suggestion, can't find any rules to help.

I would play it Ghazy's Waagh when you call it, however you can extend the Waggh as normal, with none of the benefits that Ghazzy's Waagh provides.

I have played this scenario multiple times, and if the attacking ork player(the defender doesn't get the endless Waagh!) brought Thrakka along, good for him.

As for the complaints of it being broken, the scenario also denies the use of any cover saves at all for the duration of the Waagh! so it's pretty two-edged sword anyways.

Actually, if both sides have Orks they can both do and endless Waaagh!


I will agree with the double edged sword bit. Lack of cover when being shot at or charged in return for endless fleet really is a trade off. However, with Ghrazkull, they disadvantages are almost void. I lose cover saves and defensive bopnuses for being charged in cover? So what? It only really affects shooty armies and an army with Thraka isn't a shooty one. An 18" guarenteed charge range and fearless as long as I am not falling back? I'll take that.

That's your call to make. I have been blown off the table by the imperial guard even with Thrakka
