My LGS will be doing it for £80.75, and I asked the only Space Wolves played if he wanted to split it and he said no! So If i can get Ghaz from between £35-40 off eBay I will be. If not ill simply wait 6 months. The Nobs and Meganobs arent doing it for me. I have 15 Meganobs and 40 Nobs... If it were a Deffdread and a completely new kit to make Bully Boys I would have been all over it.


You can I just ordered mine off eBay (seller name is wayestar studio) 5 min ago. There are more than 10 available. I’ll convert a grot for Makari though because price is too high for Makari

We did this a couple of times in the past, but in the end, it seems many voices are louder than one.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

I think it shouldn't be done until saturday afternoon when we know what strats etc are in the book, (the NDA will drop by then).

As of right now the only thing I'd write in and plead about is the advance & charge on himself. That's an easy fix and seems like a logical way of getting Ghaz to work in more than one way (tellyporta)

How fitting that even in Fluff that is the one thing only Ghaz can achieve - uniting the orks

People will probably include other things in their email on saturday about ghaz but really the ultimate change needed is just his aura working on himself.
I dont see why HIS version of the waaagh isnt universal (affecting ORK UNIT). That alone would make him rather interesting.

I asked for all ork non vehicle models to work with great waaggh
For makari to deploy with ghaz but act as separate units once deployed
For ghaz to automatically make boy units in his Goff detachment skarrboys for free
But emphasized the waaggh is the faq that needs to be done to make ghaz usable.

Probably what happened when he could advance and charge was he was actually doing well in play testing with the casual lists they had on the board.

And they couldn’t have that.

Keep calm and wait for the PA book with additional rules.

Conclusion could be made only from the whole context.

So relax and think about the color scheme. That' s the only thing, you can seriously discuss right now.

Are we not getting any previews of strats or warlord traits? On another note, I just dont understand the Monster keyword, what real benefits does it have especially over infantry. I still can't believe Guiliman also cannot ride inside a vehicle

From someone who had a preview copy, apparently the other content doesn’t fix Ghazghkull problems.

I reckon we’ll see lots of other good PA stuff though.

Monster keyword is actually a negative in 8th edition. It went from one of the best unit types to probably the worst, as theres plenty of vehicle based rules and very few monster based ones.

More than likely he's a monster tag purely because...well...he IS a monster.

The monster keyword gives no buffs whatsoever and could even give away more negatives with certain armies getting buffs or strats vs monsters/vehicles. Im surprised Ghaz cant ride in any transport at all. What Warboss cant ride in his own battlewagon/fortress!!! It isnt fluffy or anything. They only gave it him due to his new models size and to stop him from getting healed from a Painboy.

'ere we go, mostly flying 'eadbutt that interests me here but fun stuff overall

Edit: I mean the spanner strat is great for big blobs of lootas (and not so much for burnas), assuming you have CP and really want something dead. I also really want to know what a Forktress is

God, those are all basically bad.

The Loota one is 2 CP.. so just like, use a command reroll if you need to? Not like your Lootas will survive 3 rounds anyway.

The flyer one is slightly interesting, about it.

Well new psychic powers (one for each clan) could easily be good and the ability to buy the kustom jobs for CP instead of getting them for free with the mekboy workshop is interesting. I really thought they'd make us use that thing. I assume we'll get 1 or 2 worthwhile upgrades out of that.

And the flyer strat is solid AF on a burna-bomma IMO. Auto-explode 6" and flat 3 MWs? Krump that castle!

Let's hope the other upgrades are better. Maybe one will be Grot Gunners, which would probably be an auto take.

That psychic power would be epic on Evil Suns. Maybe there will be something to boost the Blood Axe charge rate.

That bloodaxe power is actually really interesting. It lasts untill your next turn. In other words, you get to fight first twice! If you want something dead in CC, thats the way to go.

But still... it's bloodaxes lol

Tbh that Blood Axe psychic power is pretty damn good, and the fact it has no range limit is crazy! Just need line of sight. The bad part is its on Blood Axes only and only affects their units


Automatically Appended Next Post:
The Piston Kustom Job seems alright, for maybe a walking dread unit. Im assuming it works for all the unit. Have as Evil Sunz and they are moving 10" with a reroll to advance. Pair that with a Deffkilla Wartrike and they can charge after. Pretty tasty.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also I would never get a Mek Shop just to get a kustom Job for free. 1. the Mek Shop is still squig gak. 2. it uses up one of your force org slots..... you could have 3 Battalions and simply pay the CP for the Kustom Job. Otherwise your loosing 5CP anyway to take a force org for a fortification

everybody else gets an auto explode strat "before you roll the die"

We get "after moving, it dies and blows up" seriously? what kind of gak is that? if it had an extra effect on top sure but wtf gw?
So a dakkajet reduced to 0 wounds normally, cant use the auto-explode on. It has to actively destroy itself to auto explode. But everyone else just spends a CP whenever it actually dies.
Talk about horse crap.

Actually could be very good on Burna Bombers. You use he Burna Bombs in the movement phase, then just blow yourself up. Probably do much damage then you'd ever do keeping it alive.

Honestly, I think you'd want to use the Piston Kustom Job on a mob of Kanz. 9"+1d6" rerollable Advance means their slow speed is far less of an issue.
