I was piecing together my first Deff Dread today and I saw 2 Kustom Mega Blastas, 2 Rokkit Launchas, 2 Big Shootas, 2 aditional Dreadnaught Close Combat Weapons, but only 1 Skorcha. Is this normal? I was really hoping to field him two 2 Skorchas.

Gw has a habit of shorting you on bitz you most want so you buy more. Just kitbash a bigshoota arm to have a gas tank and a flame at the end lol

Unfortuantely, yes, you only get one.

Fortunately, you're playing Orks so the sky's the limit. You can convert your own, look through any spare bits you have or ask your friends if they have a spare heavy flamer (since they have exactly the same stats and you can convert it to be a looted weapon) and so on.

If you buy any Killa Kanz you get an arm with a built in skorcha. I don't think most people put skorchas on Kanz because it's a waste of BS3 in a mostly BS2 army, so if you know anyone with Kanz, you could ask if they've got the skorcha arm spare.

@Vine, I went ahead and put together a BS and I'll start hunting for a spare gas tank. I got the loota box so I'll look there first.

@Fez I'll look into that. Im going to my LFGS tomorrow.

Thanks for the help guys!

yup loota box has gas tanks and unless you want burnas...which i dont asidee from kommando squads...a lot of bitz domt get used. I slapped one of those on a bikerboss for a gas tank lol looks great

The way im building a speed freaks army it will use nob bikers, or meganobz in a battlewagon so I dont think ill ever have the points to spare for a burna wagon so I might just gut one of them for points.

burna wagons are just a fun tactic its by no means competitive anymore. Faq on out of range ruined what little they had. But every time i have one bw with a special unit inside its the focus and WILL die. Burnas wont get anywhere against an opponent that knows target priority

Does that mean that a bw with ghrazzy, 8 meganobz, and grotsnik isnt worth fielding?

EDIT: I ask because I was thinking about a equally strong alternative to having a warbiker boss and 10 biker nobs with pain boy.

i wouldnt field that just because it screams of SHOOT ME FIRST and costs enough so you prpbably have nothing else but boys.

And you wouldnt even have kff saves in that combo

yeah, my other list was biker nobs, biker boss, and trukk boyz with kannons and a deff dread

aside from the random dredd thats a normal and effective list. Dredds have a lot of issues.
