What is the new Dakka Dakka rule?


The new rule is you get rapid fire, but with less shots at half range.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks do not think that purple makes them harder to see. They do think that camouflage does however, without knowing why.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

Rapid fire but with less shots? Is it like +1 shot at half range or something?

depends on the gun. Shootas are 2 shots at long range, 3 shots at short range. A gorkanaut/morkanaut gun is 20 at long, 30 at short iirc. Another is 12 long, 16 short.

So they changed the weapon profiles of all these weapons - but took away exploding 6's?

I feel the most optimistic take on Shoota Boyz is that a min-sized mob in a Trukk doing what Obsec minis in transports do for all armies *might* have a place.

Still am kind of left feeling its a shooty unit with inferior shooting, that sort of holds up okay to S4 shooting but is clearly paying for assault potential that just isn't obviously there.

But special rules and synergies could surprise.

Some of my fave games of 8th were using the Open War deck. Sometimes it's fun to bring out all the toys but these days I'd rather play smaller games and not be under as much time pressure.

Yeah, I was thinking of picking up the open war deck- there are Dakkanauts who swear by it. I think it would be a great tool to have in the tool box- even for a die hard Crusader like me.

Haven't tried the new one yet – despite buying it as soon as 9th dropped – due to *gestures at everything* but I'm planning on cracking into it now I've popped my 9th cherry as of last week.

Dang, well you folks have far different FLGS than the ones I've been into. From all the shops I've played at warlord traits, relics, extravagent amounts of CP pre-battle buffs on a 1000/1500/2000pt armies have been the standard not the exception.

Still looking forward to trying Crusade at some point.

Obviously I can't speak with any degree of authority for your situation, but you might be pleasantly surprised how open people are to doing things outside the "norm" if you throw the suggestions out there.

At 1-9' range they still got 23.3 hits, now they will get 30. Good luck getting all those boyz into range AND good luck not Fething your charge up afterwards.


To be clear, you're looking at 86% of prior damage at over half range, and 129% at under half range. So, the boost at under half range is double the nerf at over half range; you just need to get there.

If Bad Moons are getting +6" range as the leak said, plus bonus AP on 6s to wound, I'd expect them to be the go-to for armies with Shoota Boyz.


Correct, but that 86% is the vast majority of shooting that will occur in the game. Even with Bad Moonz and their +6 range its still going to be hard to get shoota boyz into half range. And now with the massive nerf to morale, its likely you won't see large mobz of shoota boyz. I'm getting my codex tomorrow, but I have a plan to make shooting Tankbustas/flashgitz at least somewhat viable. But I want the rules in hand to run it over before I do anything
