So with the rule of 3, how many mek guns are orks allowed to use? There are multiple guns in a unit, so is it per gun type? Or 3 units of whatever?

Thanks,
GG

The 'Organised Events' chart found in the main rulebook FAQ limits how many times you may take a datasheet depending on the game size. So you may take however many Mek Guns the datasheet allows multiplied by how many times you may take that particular datasheet.

There is no rule of 3. Its a suggestion for organised play.

Awesome thanks!!

But in practice it's more likel to find no premeasuring than able to take more than 3 datasheets.

The very premise of this thread is based on the assumption that the Rule of 3 is in play.

Unless you're playing at the highest level of casual, I don't think you'll find many people playing without the "Rule of Three." It's pretty much ubiquitous at this point, and for good reason.

Stop being obtuse. Rule of 3 is what the vast vast majority of the player base call it. It is a rule, just a suggested rule.

Following the rules of the game shouldn't make someone a jerk.

Yeah, I'm not sure what they were referring to here to be honest... Pretty random comment!

And yet we often see that insinuated if not openly stated here in the forum.

Ah, it's more complicated than that. It also depends on the tone the statement is made with.

Still, forum users gonna argue.

Asked and answered. Moving on to avoid further silliness.
