Melcavuk, I have a question that I don't think I've seen posted before.

Does the Gorkanaut / Morkanaut have any additional rules that specify how embarking / disembarking works for it? How does embarking / disembarking work for it when it is locked in combat? Are there any rules to that effect?

Can Burnaz still count as a power weapon in CC?

Does a Mek that takes Mega Armor still have the ability to take a Burna?

I can answer the first one. They count as AP3 weapons in CC.

nope just the same rules in WD that it has a single access point in the front.

And nope, Bigmek in mega armour comes with a KMB and klaw flat, can change the KMB for kombi shootas or twinlinked shoota.

Thanks Mel, I had always wanted to make that conversion...kinda glad I never got to it now Sad that we miss out on a power weapon striking at initiative though.

I asked before, but I don't think it was ever answered: which warlord traits does each named character have?

Grukk sounds ripe for a conversion from the sewn together rat ogre from Fantasy Island of Blood.

Why, yes. Yes he does.

Wow, he looks great, and will look even better towering over a bunch of boyz. Good job.

YAY! That is amazing

I did Big Boss once. Now I don't know if I will use mine as DP or Grukk. Can't wait to see Grukk.

Exciting salty news!

can you swap the twin linked bigshootas for rokkit launchas on the gorkanaut

Zagstrukk has Bellowing Tyrand
Badrukk has Kunnin' but brutal (iirc)
I think we can all guess which one Thrakka has

So, curious: What's the smallest cost for the formation?

6 units of 10 Sluggaboys, a unit of Grots, Nobs, etc. (Obviously not as good as a thicker version, but.)

I think as a community we should just all agree that Cybork still grants a 5++ Inv save and not 6+ FNP. Same points it was last edition.

I think other race players would let us do it. Otherwise we strike!

Barring that we need to bribe whomever writes the GW FAQ pages and have them errata it!!!!

Bosses of the note (other than named characters) mentioned in the book:

Grukk
Gashrakk Da Flash (loots in the wake of Grukks Waaagh)
Great Despot of Dregruk (Long standing war with Gathrog)
Arch-Dictator of Gathrog (See above)
Arch-Arsonist of Charadon (Pyromaniac Orks)
Arch-Maniac of Calverna (Big Mek wired into a Forgeworld)

i am very excited to be reading new narratives about different orks other than the same ones we have seen for years.

Sorry yeah i was feeling lazy so didnt type em up, here we go:

Zagstruk - Bellowing Tyrant
Badrukk - Cunning but Brutal
Mad Dok - Brutal but Kunnin
Ghaz - Prophet of the Waaagh

Nope, no changing guns on the Gorkanaut

That change does invalidate my unit of 10 Nobz, but the bigger insult is the move to make shootas a point more expensive... it completely screwed with my Green Tide army

I REALLY hope this 'Red Tide' rumor pans out as a Speed Freaks suppliment and that we see new kits for the Buggy and the DeffKopta!

Red Waaagh! is probably not going to have anything to do with the Kult of Speed, right? I mean, nothing I have read about Grukk (which, admittedly, isn't a lot) has identified him as a Speed Freak.

I'm hopeful for a Speed Freak supplement, though. Imagine how awesome our army would be if we could take Warbikers as Troops in 7th Edition.

I'm not surprised they took that option from us.

Grukk is a Goff, not a Speed Freak

A few notable groups from Da Red Waaaagh:

Skullcrakka Boyz - these Skull-Nobz covered in scars and trophies from their many victories
Wasteland Warbikerz
Splitgrin Dakkajets
Baddfrags Looted Wagons
Wingnutz Flyboyz
Big Red da Warphead
Goffboss Drogg
Mogroks Big Gunz

Can Stormboys ride in a Battlewagon? I just thought they could be pretty good at reach in a Waaagh turn

Hey quick question what options can meks take? Thanks!

I'm sure more pics later.

Looks like they are still on 40mm bases. Surprised GW didn't move them to 50mm's like the centurions.

Not a big fan of the meganobs. I wanted a lot less skin showing and all the heads I've seen look pretty lame.

Will probably buy a pack and up-armour them, but it might be easier and cheaper to just start from standard nobs. Does anyone do full-face ork helmets, or do I need to try and scrounge up some fantasy black orc heads?

I've used Black Orc heads on nearly all of mine...I have about 50. I am still planning on buying a box of them, just because they are so close to the existing line. I'll make a Big Mek out of one, add Black Orc heads to the others, and use those heads for Nobz/Flash Gitz.

Mek can take:

Grot Oiler,
Kombi Shootas
Rokkit Launcha
Kustom Mega Blasta
Kustom Mega Slugga
Twinlinked Shoota
Kill Saw

But not a big shoota, even though the Loota/Burna kit comes with one for him...

It is interesting that the Mek can purchase a Rokkit Launcha, makes that a lot more useful than a Kombi Rokkit.

Melcavuk:

Can a Mek purchase 'Eavy Armor? Of the weapons you listed above, can you please tell us the costs of each?

MANz are pretty nice, but it'd be cool to see what the Kill Saws look like.

So only the big mek and the gorkanaught will be able to take a KFF then?

5 for anything except the Kombiskorcha, Kustom Mega Slugga (10). And 30 for Killsaw. You can have a killsaw and a gun but then you're putting alot of points on a single wound model
