Can you Da Jump grots in front of where you expect you will put Tankbustas and use Grot Shields then?

I am the kinda ork that takes his own washing machine apart, puts new bearings in it, then puts it back together, and it still works.

28" or so is plenty of range generally though. 31 with advance since you can ignore that -1 to hit with more dakka. So you still have that grot screen to cover you

I play deffskulls and have a load of lootas, since they are a stereotypical DS unit. Any advice on actually making them worthwhile? Seems like only bad moon lootas are likely to be worth it.

Deffskulls are torn between the loota need to be in a big mob (more efficient to spend stratagems, such as rerolling the number of shots and grot shields) and the deffskull incentives to be in small units. Not as bad as ES or Goff ones at least.

Hi,
If anyone is interested in wasting a bit of time by making some suggestions they have on list building. I’ve a 2000pt list for tonight vs. DE.
I know my opponent likes triple ravagers, a single flier and a horde of grotesques supported by pain engines and he enjoys the agent of vect stratagem. Otherwise, his list is unknown but will likely contain variety rather than spam and could contain almost anything.
We don’t mind limited and sensible proxies e.g. all my choppa boyz = shoota boyz, or all boyz with black shirts are stormboyz. Lobbas are kannons etc
Things i have to choose from:

HQ
A warboss on foot, 1 on bike and 1 in megaamour
Big mek on foot and big mek with shokk attack x2.
2 x wierdboy
Snikrot

Troops.
30 red boyz, 30 black boyz, 30 brown boyz. (all slugga choppa). 10 rogue trader era boyz (metal)
30 gretchin splitable to squads of 10

Elites
6 kommandos
10 meganobz
10 nobz
3 painboyz
12 tank bustas
Banner nob

Fast attack
5 deffkoptas,
5 bikes
Scrapjet

Heavy support
1 battlewagon
5 lobbas
3 mek gunz (built as traktor from 7th ed)
5 flash gitz
3 killa kanz (happy to proxy as deffdreads)
1 deff dread
12 lootas

No fliers
3 trukks
1 gargantuan squiggoth
1 stompa


Its a friendly game to try out some interesting ork combos. I fancy taking a brigade to maximise on CPs and get more of a feel of what units can do, but at the same time i don’t want to just remove my models from the table all evening without forcing him to do the same! This was my experience against a couple of their pre-nerf Ynnari lists.
I was going to try freebootas or badmoons to help with geting shots on target and I did whole evil sunz thing last time.

This is what i came up with: Brigade 15CP
Warboss on bike with killa klaw, brutal but kunnin
2x weirdboy (warpath + dajump)
28 boyz + nob with kustom shoota
29 boyz + nob with kustom shoota
9 boyz + nob with kustom shoota
3x 10 gretchin
Mek
Painboy
10 tank bustas + bomb squigs
2 x single deffkoptas with rokkits
Megatrukk scrapjet
Battlewagon with deffrolla + ardcase
3 x deffdreads 3 saw 1 klaw
10 lootas
3 x smasha kannons

I’ll put the tank bustas in the BW and chase down ravagers with it, deffdreads in telporta ramming speed and set the cat amongst the pidgeons. Mob up 10 boyz to 30 to da jump and greentide. Koptas run interference. Mek + gretchin sit with lootas + mek gunz, gretchin shield lootas/mek gunz depending on his target priority. Scrapjet is a new model so i’d like to play with it =)

Well with msu rolling 1 is less of a worry as you average better to 2 per guy. Issue is lack of grot screen and ddd5

With a big mob you can just use a command point to reroll when you get 1 shot with deffguns. And while more rolls gets you closer to average, more randomness is good as often as it is bad.

I still don't understand how grot shield Works, if they must be closer to the enemy than boyz and still 6'' to the boyz, you need to waste a jump just to defend boyz, and this do not protect you from Turn 1 rape cuz enemy is far away.

I think the wording might have you messed up here.

The Gretchins must be 6" away from the boyz

and the unit shooting at the boyz must be closer to the gretchins, than the boyz.

So let's say I have a unit of fire warriors, and I want to shoot boyz 30" away. There's a unit of gretchins standing right in front of the boyz, 27" away. Those gretchins can be used for Grot Shield.

Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

They made it the same as all the other fight again stratagems, you now can only use it at the end of the phase. Before you could charge with two units, fight with one, activate the stratagem and fight again with unit A. Now you have to wait for the enemy to hit you back first.

Also to whoever is writing the tactica, i saw you mention the Loot it + MANZ combo, that got errata'd to no longer be possible.

A nice extra feature when using the DDD5+ stratagem on lootas is that you can move them without penalty to hit. This is nice if you need to move some of them to get LOS.

Oh man, that's a completely different scenario, i'm not a native english speaker so misunderstood it, thanks.

So grots are indeed a CP machine and a very strong unit

Deffskulls have the "Wreckers" stratagem though to re-roll to wound on your loota mobs though. Not as awesome as shooting again, but still decent.

If you have enough models, you could also do 15+10+10 and mob up twice by turn 2 for 35 lootas

Just spread the mob to cover multiple objectives.

Yeah, I feel like the Loota strategy is going to be one of those extremely luck-dependent shticks that's going to be very misleadingly strong through event results.

We'll see the guy at the top table whose lootabomb list got 3s every time for their deffguns.

We won't see the guy who did really poorly with the same list because he rolled 1s every time.

Kind of like stacking your entire army into a huge turn 1 shebang charge roll back before the change to deep strike, or double-shooting oblits. "Wowza, 20 people tried this strategy and 1 of them got very high results on that bell curve!"

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

You could have small units with spanners with the kmb in the squad. His gun would benefit more from the deffskulls reroll trait. Then put them all in trukks (with rokkit) and drive around. Use loot it when trukks die. The units have objective secured from deff skulls. It may not be the best, but it would be totally different from the static bad moon way of using them

Why would you do that with lootas rather than burna boyz? The chance of a refund for loot it! doesn't seem that good when you are still risking 1 CP to give a small unit a small increase in survivability.

Relic analysis for y'all: just my own opinions, using my Unviable/Situational/Good/Auto-include tier list from before.

Spoiler:

Ork Relic Analysis
Burned Git Bones: Unviable
Hey you know those guys who get giant bonuses to their psychic tests making them already the most reliable psykers in the game except that they perils all the time so they tend to explode? Want to make them do that, but MORE? The only possible use case I can think of for this is trying to get +4 to a Smite, which doesn’t technically work because Smite is not a “power of the waaagh”. Skip it.

Da Dead Shiny Shoota: Unviable

You know how every relic that makes a crappy ranged weapon slightly less crappy is useless? This one is also useless. See also: gitstoppa shells.

Da Killa Klaw: Auto-include

You know when this relic is talked about in nearly every character analysis, it’s a good ‘un. It gets not one, not two, but THREE huge bonuses: no -1 to hit, flat 3 damage, and reroll to wounds. Absolutely amazing. Combine with the Brutal But Kunnin warlord trait to make our very own Smash Captain – a must if you’re planning on putting the relic on a character like a Dok on bike who doesn’t get a native 2+ to hit.

‘Eadwhoppa’s Killchoppa: Situational

Unfortunately this little lovely will now be forever in a Killa Klaw shaped shadow, but as it stands, it’s not actually that bad, and in my opinion, quite worth the extra 1CP if you’ve got two choppy characters, like say a Dok on bike with the Klaw and a warboss on bike with this.

Gitstopping Bullets: Unviable

No. Worse than the Dead Shiny Shoota at everything, still bad.

Supa Cybork Body: Situational

That situation is: I have a Deffkilla Wartrike and I want him to be more durable. The Supa-Cybork is worth an extra CP to make your Deffkilla somewhat harder to (deff) kill. If you don’t have your heart set on a second relic then you won’t be sad if you throw this on your wartrike. Combines extra nicely with the Bad Moonz warlord trait giving you a surprisingly tanky trike!
Gobshot Blunderbuss (Bad Moonz Only): Situational

Not great, but absolutely hilarious. A character with 3 heavy flamers is ridiculously fun. I really want to see this on a Big Mek in Mega Armor who also has tellyport blastas, just because I think it would be amazing to watch him pile out of a battlewagon and hose down a whole infantry screen by himself with Showin’ Off.

Morgarg’s Finkin’ Cap (Blood Axes): Good

Initially this one didn’t look great, but we have some excellent warlord traits and some pretty lackluster relics on the whole. If you’re running Blood Axes, this is actually probably your best bet for your second relic. Bonus if one of your two traits is Follow Me Ladz, making this one a freebie!

Da Fixer Uppas (Deathskullz): Situational
Kind of funny on a wartrike, giving him the ability to self-regenerate, but kind of silly in most situations. I’m not sure this is worth a CP most of the time.

Rezmekka’s Redder Armor (Evil Sunz): Situational
I’d say this one is worth a CP if you’re throwing this on a cheap character like a Mek in a slower transport like a Morkanaut to help it get up the field, but the mortal wound passive is super unlikely to ever happen. If you structured your list around including it, it would not be bad.

Badskull Banner (Freebootas): Situational

Given the results of the FAQ, I feel like we’re going to be seeing a lot of grot-heavy (and therefore morale weak) Freeboota detachments. Because the Grots rule applies only to Kultur and Stratagems, and not to relics, there’s no reason you can’t use this to give yourself morale-immune Grots, Killa Kanz, etc. Should you pass up better relics to use it? No. Is it the worst relic? I definitely don’t think so.

Da Lucky Stikk (Goffs): Good
This is the relic to make you wish you could take multiple relics on the same guy or relics on named characters. Man oh man would this be so good on Ghazzy… As it stands though it seems like it’s pretty tailor made for something like a Biker Dok with Killsaw. Sadly, most ork characters hit on 2s anyway so the secondary effect of add 1 to character hit rolls is somewhat wasted.
Brogs Buzzbomb (Snakebites): Good
Once per game, your character can put down 5D6 S5 Ap-1 autohitting shots. Now I want to see a cheese strat involving a Bad Moonz Big Mek in Mega Armor with Gobshot Blunderbuss combined with a Snakebites Deffkilla Wartrike with Brogs Buzzbomb. Drive up to infantry screen. Fire 12D6 S5 AP-1 autohitting shots. Profit!

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power!

The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

Because Burnaz are even WORSE than lootas.

What you want to do is slap 20 Tankbustas in a Battlewagon and go ham. Loot it once the battlewagon dies and then Grenade and Shoot anything smaller than a knight to death.

Also I disagree with your assessment of the Gitbones. Firstly the Waaagh Bonus is now capped to +3 and Secondly Grots no longer add to it. Since we're now down to 30-40 boyz instead of 180, it's actually difficult to get the full +3 bonus now. The Gitbonez lets you Da Jump on a 3+ and to be honest after Turn 1 you don't care about that Weirdboy so perils doesn't matter since it can't kill you in one go.

Da Lucky Stikk is good to buff Power Klaw characters so you negate the penalty.

Note: Because the big mek (index) on a bike has a "bike mekinanc rule, instead of the big mekinanc rule, he actually gains a second D3 repair roll, and could repair two vehicles (seperate) at D3 wounds a turn. Useful for dread mobs, Buggy mobs.

A list i will be trying out this Saturday against Craftworld Eldar. The Warboss on bike will get Da Killa Klaw and Brutal but Kunnin'. The 10 Bustas and 2 Skorcha Meks will ride in the Killblasta super heavy tank. One Mek will have Da Gobshot Thunderbuss (together the 2 Big Meks will throw out 6D6 skorcha shots from the Killblasta, and when they jump out the bearer of Da Gobshot may use Showin' Off to get 10d6 shots altogther with both Big Meks)

I will be using hit and run style tactics to blast my opponent away with mass high strength fire power to gain armour supremacy and have the mobility to claim objectives across the board. With my speed I will be trying to overload a flank/keep clear of enemy chargers.

1 Weirdboy will have Fists of Gork and the other Da Jump. The Weaknesses i see are low CP count (2 uses of Showin' Off and Moar Dakka! together) and enemies squatting in ruins. Let me know your opinions guys, will be greatly appreciated.

With a big mob you can just use a command point to reroll when you get 1 shot with deffguns. And while more rolls gets you closer to average, more randomness is good as often as it is bad.


But with 5 units you roll 5 dice. Rerolling 1's does not quarantee no 1(it's 1/3 chance of getting 1 anyway then) and costs cp.

If you go deathskulls msu is the way to go. More rerolls to hit and wound

Because Burnaz are even WORSE than lootas.

What you want to do is slap 20 Tankbustas in a Battlewagon and go ham. Loot it once the battlewagon dies and then Grenade and Shoot anything smaller than a knight to death.

Also I disagree with your assessment of the Gitbones. Firstly the Waaagh Bonus is now capped to +3 and Secondly Grots no longer add to it. Since we're now down to 30-40 boyz instead of 180, it's actually difficult to get the full +3 bonus now. The Gitbonez lets you Da Jump on a 3+ and to be honest after Turn 1 you don't care about that Weirdboy so perils doesn't matter since it can't kill you in one go.

Da Lucky Stikk is good to buff Power Klaw characters so you negate the penalty.


I guess I'm just not running a ton of non-killa klaw power klaw characters that I care to get into combat. Seems like in general they're kind of a waste of points. If I'm running multiple combat characters, I'm going to be throwing in a Deffkilla, Ghazzy, Killa Klaw and 'Eadwhoppas Killchoppa before I consider a regular power klaw. Realistically I'll never get that far. I rated the stikk as good because I think it's a better combat buff than the Killchoppa so if you are running goffs you might as well.

If the difference between a 92% initial success rate and a 97% on your one cast of Da Jump is worth an extra CP, then sure, go for it. Personally I figure it'll cost me 1CP to reroll a single die if I roll below a 4 and odds are very, very slim I'll fail it. I start with 40 boyz on the board to jump, and if I had less than 20 to work with I wouldn't really care if I failed.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

pretty sure Da Fixer Uppers specifically state if you already have the big mekaniac rule you heal for 3 instead of D3.


There are two different rules.

Standard big mek "Big Mekaniac"
Biker Big Mek "Big Bike Mekaniac"

So a Biker Big Mek with Fixer Uppers has

The Big Mekanianc Rule
and
The Big Bike Mekaniac Rule.

They are different because the bike one has a disclaimer (can't move more then 6)
