Yes, they might give out some info so i expect you to all be watching!

Yeah i think pure knights are actually going to struggle against orks, especially with all the gapclosing they've given the orks in the new codex. Play it smart and any Armigers/helverins are going to be swamped and not shooting real quick, and any Wardens/gatling crusaders are going to be taken out ASAP.

It's screened knights orks will really struggle against. Pure knights will have a puny CP pool, and be much, much easier to close against. After just 1 or 2 goes down, the orks will be pretty much in good shape.

I shall be refreshing this thread with great interest. I call upon you, my British comrades who will be getting out of work when I'm just starting 1PM!

Deathskulls up

“Dis is Ours! Zogg Off!” sounds like objective secure, but they have it for all infantry. Plus they get 1 hit, 1 wound and 1 damage reroll per unit in the shooting and fight phase. AND a 6++ save. Deathskulls look pretty tempting to me

Warphead strat, 1 CP to upgrade a Wierdboy and they know and can cast an extra power per turn

Edit: from the Stream right now

Well, I'm happy I painted my orks blue. Invulns are always welcome, but those rerolls are also quite nice, especially for fighty warbosses. Hope they give lootas 3shots up from D3.

Yea obsec on all infantry is interesting. The kultur does look strong.

Top man, keep the new stuff coming!

I was playing this strat totally wrong with my buddies....

I didn't realize it was

1 hit roll
and
1 to wound roll
and
1 damage roll

PER unit, Per shooting and Per fighting.

That's REALLY NICE.

It's really good. That is a TON of re-rolls each turn. Considering that a re-roll usually costs a CP, it's a good value.

Yeah, it's the salamanders trait but better. And they get an invuln. And obsec on all infantry. That's pretty darn good

So flipping excited that I started paintin the boyz blue!

Wow, that's a pretty great stratagem too. I think that and the obsec probably moves the Deff Skullz up into tier 1 along with the Evil Sunz and Blood Axes.

Loot It! also looks awesome, especially because Mek Gunz are vehicles, AND units in transports get out before the vehicle is "destroyed" so you could pop out a unit of trukk boyz and instantly give them a 5+ save.

Which, ironically, means we have a 1cp way of getting 'ard boyz on the board if they're in a trukk. Or, a way to spend 3cp if we really REALLY want 4+ boyz.

Again a mention of the Mob Up stratagem. Combining units into a huge green tide again?

There will be several types of Battlewagons in the codex. More details in the later codex discussion (this is mainly just fluff discussion).

They also confirmed that Freebootaz is a choice of clan kultur for the army though I think that was pretty known already.

Snagged a new angle shot of the Squigbuggy. That's a large crew!

It's unfortunate that the Squigbuggy is my favorite new model with my least favorite rules. Sigh.

I think you're hilariously underestimating this book.

My money is on the two distinct kits in the GW online store:

- Battlewagon with Deffrolla
- Battlewagon without Deffrolla

Well, that might be a bit much depending on points.

Hmm. Pretty impressed, I've always learned towards Death Skulls for my army theme these last few years.

However, I still think Bad Moons might be better on Lootaz.

Wonder if “Dis is Ours! Zogg Off!” will just join Objective Secured and Defenders of Humanity or if it will trump them? (now wouldn't that be fun)

Obsec....for everything???

WAAAGH!

Theyre the same ability... No codex has an ability called "objective secured", they just call it something different.

Flash Gitz will not get any Clan Kultur rules other then Freebootaz, but you can include them in other detachments without losing your Clan rules (Like the Astra Militarum or Dark Eldar books)

So Deathskulls are the new winner for the heavy guns detachment? Rerolling one hit, wound, and damage per phase per unit works out much better on all those individual KMKs, gets you the reroll wounds and ten tankbusta bombs, and isn't too shabby on anything else with a big gun (or powerful melee attacks, really). The 6++ is just icing.

They mentioned Flash Gitz wont benefit from other klan rules, but it doesnt prevent you from getting the benefits on your other units if you have flash gitz in a detachment


EDIT: Whoops this was already mentioned by Malkyr, ill just let him report everything

Death Skulls might have the better Nobz and Mega Nobz.
