Right, you lot. This is a thread for ork players to share their experiences and tips playing with the new 6th Ed rulebook and FAQ. Every thread I've managed to find has been mostly either speculative or rumormill type stuff made before the book came out or before playing any actual games.

Now that the collective Warbosses of Dakkadakka have had a chance to get a few games under their belts, let's follow the tried and true method of ork strategy: get us more boyz. Give us a nice big pool of tactics, tricks, what works and what doesn't in the new edition, and how to deal with the new tricks other armies now have up their sleeves.

We'll show them once and for all that we're the orks, and they are not.

here's what I've managed to figure out, playing a game against Mechanized IG (victory) and Salamander flamermeltaspam (loss):

Works:

- Choppa-slugga boyz as 'ard boyz in a large mob are plenty capable of overwhelming overwatch.
- Trukk or BW mobs of shoota boyz fare the best against units with flamers, as they can bring them down before overwatch with the new wound allocation rules.
- Mobs of a dozen burna boyz fighting out of a trukk are incredibly effective
- Unless you're bringing a dakkajet, using a captured aegis defense line gives a fantastic defense against the airspam that is going to be pretty commonplace. Stick Lootas in there for cover, or for economy go with the most survivable gretchin you'll ever have.
- Nob Mobs may not have the wound allocation shenanigans they used to, but a mob consisting of painboy, a couple PKs then as many twin-link shootas and combi-scorchas as you can fit packs a very nice punch with the extended charge range.

Doesn't work:

-Any mob looking to specialize in melee of 15 boyz or less. Overwatch makes it so you'll fail the charge then get wiped out.
- Charging any unit with more than one flamer, if they've got AP on you. Overwatch combined with wound allocation stops every charge before it happens.
- Commandos. Snikrot's almost totally worthless, though I am curious to try out some fast-arriving sneaky dakkaboyz in my next match and see how that goes.
