Im confused, how does a waagh help dakkajets?

It allows the dakka jet to fire it's guns twice at the same target in a turn. More dakka!

Waaagh allows all ork bommer variants assault weapons fire twice as much.

2 more questions then, I've got the ork codex here and i don't see that anywhere, where is this posted? And is it ALL their weapons?

The rules for the Ork planes are located in the Chapter Approved datasheet (found in iTunes bookstore and I think Black Library have a copy) or in the Death from the Skies compendium . The FAQ calls out the Death from the Skies compendium as the official source so use that.


There is a special rule tied to all 3 official planes called Waaagh! Plane that allow all of the model's assault weapons to fire twice as many shots as normal. So the twin-linked supa shootas turn into Assault 6 while a Waagh! is going on instead of their normal Assault 3. This is devastating with the Dakkajet if you take the extra Supa Shoota which gives you 18 TL BS3 shots under a Waagh!.

The planes still are restricted to the number of weapons they fire per turn like all flyers; however, under a Waagh! their assault weapons just fire more shots.


EDIT: One last thing - this shooting enhancement is specific to the Waagh! Plane special rule. It does not affect shoota boyz and other units in the normal codex - they still only get Fleet and take wounds when using Fleet under a Waagh!.

It was Originally introduced in the lead up to "Death From The Skies" in a White Dwarf. It's special ability is called "Waagh Plane." In addition it has "Straffing Run, and Super Sonic" special rules.

The waagh on a dakka jet is brutal. I'm a csm player and my friend plays works. I always have to be aware of where his jet is and where I'm at. 18 twin linked s6 shots can mess up about any unit
