After playing a ton of games the units I've noticed pulling ahead are my warboss, bikers, big squiggoth and Gargantuan squiggoth.

Has anyone just thought of...spamming war bosses and bikes? Like put a warboss along with every bike squad? Perhaps going as far as taking 3-6 warbosses



Thanks guys

Zhadsnark lists are exactly what you're thinking of

Actually that would be a funny unit to bring in an unbound game.

This unit is 5 Warbosses a painboy and a big mek with a kff, all on bikes. This one has Da Lucky Stikk, this one da finkin cap, and other than that all the warbosses have poweklaws.

So majority Toughness 6, weapon skill 6, 3+ jink save when they turbo-boost an invuln save and FNP.

all for 765 points. not bad

Don't forget tankbustas, they will wreck any vehicle they can get close to.

What is a warboss doing that you can't do with other orkz?

other than WAAAGH!, which is all you bring the warboss for

Right now I use 2 Warbosses - one rides a Warbike, has a Powerklaw and Da Finkin Cap, The other has a Mega Armour, the Lucky Stick. They come with 2 painboys and have there own deatstar units - a Biker star for the former, and a Meganobzstar for the latter.

I run the same setups for the boss', but different units.

Bikers are a small unit of Warbikes (to not make it a giant points sink)

MA/DLS guy I don't like with the Megaz- I've run this a few times, but they always are using AT weapons against the MANz, so he doesn't do much but provide safety from small arms, and create even more OVERKILL in CC. I've been moving him around still from game to game. trying new things. Sometimes with Lootaz, walking up the field, shooting, and causing a massive Distraction. Sometimes in a unit of 20-30 boys, and 2 times now with units of gretchin... do you realize how hard it is for people to cope with the fact that they can't clear a measly unit of 10 gretchin off of an objective because of this guy... hahaha (not a great strat, but super fun)

Toying with the idea of letting him march some Flashgits or Tankbustas up the field next game... could actually be really powerful, since he kind of acts like a slow but hard to kill transport in a way...

My 4 horsemen of the Apokalypse list;

4 Warbosses on bikes
4x bike units
+whatever else you fancy

The overall result being 4 units who will chew through most things. Yeh sure, your dedidcated deathstar will beat my warboss, but while they do so the other 3 are off crushing everything else in your list Currently 1 warboss down, so can't run the full idea, but im getting there


Big Squiggoths!
I have been wondering if big squiggoths are the best transport for flashgitz. Its a MC, so you automatically mitigate the whole exploding and killing half your gitz issue. Its 50 points, pretty durable and is open topped so can shoot from any point allowing almost perfect coverage considering how big the model is. They kill your squig, it dies, so has to be removed, so they can't block all access points (like glancing down a transport and auto killing everyone inside), then hopefully its your turn and your gitz will wipe whatever killed your squiggoth!
