I have never played Orks before, but after reading the book i love the combination of using Boss Snikrot and Kommandos to infiltrate my 2+ re-rollable save Warboss up the field. Mixed with the combat threat of the two Overlords, will be a lot for people to handle. The Mek Gun lobbas are just icing on the cake. I would love some opinions from experienced tournament Ork players.

I'm not sure if you can do that. Generally Infiltrate doesn't confer to other ICs, although Snikrots rule may trump that.

snikrot does get infiltrate... however his unit loses the ambush special rule if its joined by any other ICs(your warboss) you could very well end up with your warboss somewhere useless and with mega armor your warboss will be a non factor in the game since he can't run due to SnP.

rerollable 2+ from the lukky stick is great and all until you get hit by some ap 1 ap 2 nonsense...

food for thought if you replace the warboss with:

Big Mek w/ Mega Armour[mega blasta& power klaw], KFF 125 points

and drop 1 ammo runt,

you could also add 2 rokkits(or big shootas) to the kommandos so the turn they come in(with ambush it would be your choice of where) they can shoot something and be a threat instead of standing there.

also a big mek in a unit of mek gunz gives the unit a 5+ invulnerable, and as the mek has SnP the unit now has it and can move and shoot as artillery.

and as stated above, an IC without infiltrate cannot join a unit with it during deployment, so you cant attach a warboss to the snikrot unit to infiltrate anyways

Independent Characters and Infiltrate

An Independent Character without the Infiltrate special rule cannot join a unit of Infiltrators during deployment.

Independent characters can not join an infiltrating unit unless they have infiltrate as well. PG.166 of the BRB under independent Characters.

hahahah, im back to thinking kommandos and snikrot suck again. Thanks for the rules update.

Yeah I am thinking you are right.

If only the could assault the turn they come in.
