Ok so ork A (we'll call him Aork) has a kustom force field and is watching over a big mek with shokk attack (hes called Bork). Some stupid guardsmen charge Aork and lock him into combat. I know Aork no longer gets the invun save but what about Bork? Does the field like turn off or...

The field remains on, and indeed still affects Aork - it only works against shooting attacks, so if a blast marker scatters into the combat, Aork (and models near him) will still get the 5++.

Which raises a new question, does soon to be dead guardsman also get the save from the scattered blast?

The ork (draft) FAQ clarified this - all models, not just friendly ones, benefit from the KFF save.

Need to go kick my lazy grots into motion and get me that FAQ.

Thanks folks. Ive been in warhammer just pver 6 months now and Im finally starting to understand it. Im trying to ensure all my boyz live as long as possible. Also, say Aork joins Bork, does Bork get the slow and purposeful bonus?

If Aork is wearing Mega Armour, then any unit he joins is affected by the Slow and Purpoweful rule (both the benefits and the negatives).
Note that this is seems to have come up in another thread currently running, and seems to have become contentious due to the draft Facebook FAQs, but it should work.

Thanks for this. Im just trying to make my shokk attack ork actually live more then one shooting phase. Since I got him he's only managed to create a vortex. After 6 months. Hopefully now the Kult of Spork can get going.

So get your Aork and Bork and go kick some Dumie Eholes.
