Hey guys,

First of all, sorry if something similar has been posted before, but even through the "search" option of the forum, I couldn't find the answer to my question.

As here in Switzerland it's really hard to get IA books, I would like to know if someone has a list of units from FW/IA we can use in a regular Ork army?
I don't ask for the stats, but really the "40k approved" units.

For instance, I really would love to try my Squiggoth. Autorized or not?

Thank you very much for your clarification and help!

WAAAGH

Technically, all IA units that aren't APOC units are fine for use in regular 40K play.

However, many people refuse to play against FW units, for a variety of reasons.

I'd ask your local group if they are OK with FW units.

Ok so nothing official... Thanks!

The ForgeWorld Ork Flakk Gun plus GW resin Ork Barricades makes a very Orky Aegis Defense Line with Quad Gun - no extra rules (or permission) required.

Yes, that's why I've ordered it

If you mean "official" as in "can I use it", then yes, there are many official ork units. Everything other than the obvious Apocalypse-only stuff (superheavies, formations) is a GW product and intended for use in standard 40k. Your opponents can be WAAC TFGs and refuse to let you use it, but they could also be WAAC TFGs and refuse to play against you if you bring units of more than 10 boyz.

If you mean "official" as in "an official list of units", then no, there isn't an official list of everything. There used to be one in the back of the IA:Apocalypse books but they haven't published a new one in years, and the old one is missing a lot of stuff. Your best bet is to look at the table of contents for IA8, IA:Aeronautica, and both IA:Apocalypse books and see what's in the ork section.

The ork list in IA:8 is interesting, and worth picking up. I haven't tried using the list since the new edition, though, so I'm not really sure how it will work with the edition change.

I wonder why I never see Zhadsnark or Mek Boss Buzzgob in the army lists. I think they are better than the characters in the codex actually. Don’t you think?

I really love the concept of Ork Dread Mob. Could be the new orientation of my army

* Requires the army to have a big mek
** Requires Mekboss Buzzgob. Yes, this allows you to bring a stompa to a regular game. Make sure your opponent is ok with that before the game.
*** Requires a Grot Battle Tank Mob
**** Requires a Mega Dread

You're welcome

Now we are talking!

Any idea of how does a Mekboy Junka look like?
A mix of a Trukk and a Big Trakk?

The FW model was a rhino with a deff rolla, a huge gas turbine for an engine and a funky turret. Basically anything roughly rhino sized should do.
