Subject: Just how "Elite" are marines supposed to feel?
I agree with Daed. Been a lot of "Ghaz is awful" talk going on in the Ork Taktikz thread, but I think Ghaz can be competitively viable. Just not as a beatstick. In a vehicle heavy list, he makes a fine Distraction Carnifex.

Subject: Just how "Elite" are marines supposed to feel?
He doesn't get benefits from his own aura, nor does he affect even Bikers. He's sloppily written, period. There's no "unique and interesting" argument you can make here.
Again - there's a difference between "sloppy" and "GW didn't do what I want / expect".
There are also plenty of Ork HQs bound to just INFANTRY or just BIKES as well. I mean his original aura was INFANTRY only for gaks sake.
Which was one of his problems to begin with that way complained about. So you're not helping your case here, not that you really have one to begin with. Also it IS sloppy as he's always benefitted from his own rules until now.
Seriously it's like you're almost on their payroll like the Community people defending the trash rules.

How's he even a distraction? He can't advance and charge so that means he's actually pretty slow. Knock off just the four wounds and he's moving at a paltry 6".
Anyone thinking he's dangerous is just a bad player.

I'm not saying Ghaz couldn't have some improvements, but he does have unique and interesting features.
So in other words, instead of dying T1, he dies on T2 instead. That's really no more unique than Roboute coming back from the dead.
Still a unique rule, unlike Guilliman (as other characters share his "come back from the grave" ability, like Celestine). Can you name any models who are explicitly unable to lose a certain amount of Wounds per round/phase?

You know you can Advance and, like, not Charge right? Why is it that everyone thinks that not being able to Advance and Charge means you're just not going to Advance? Advance Turn 1 so you don't have to on Turn 2.
Also, his second Wound Bracket starts at 7, so even with 4 Wounds down, he's still moving at top speed.
If you don't feel like he's dangerous, feel free to ignore him as he moves up the board. Unless you admit that he's dangerous enough to require that you throw at least 4 Damage a phase at him.

Certain characters half damage, which is similar enough. Only difference is once you did your 4 for the phase, you focus elsewhere.

They should be elite, highly mobile and devastating at short/melee range.
They should completely lose any attempt to form a gunline strategy. It makes no sense given their background that they would even attempt it.

It is one of the best model designs made up to now, and we should encourage GW to make more models like that instead of complaining that a model doesn't fit the current competitive builds (which no new model should ever do).

You not knowing the previous rules is not my concern, but the greatest Ork ever not being able to advance and charge himself while everyone else (more specifically just Infantry as apparently Ork Bikers and the like don't find him inspirational) around him does is pretty inconsistent.

Subject: Just how "Elite" are marines supposed to feel?
Yeah, I look at Ghaz and I see one of the very first successful iterations of a big monster character in 8th edition. He's not designed for the current competitive hellhole game that ends on turn 2, but he looks like an awesome piece for larger games. I couldn't care less that he has an aura he doesn't give to himself.You might as well complain that his other aura ability doesn't affect non-goffs.
"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!"

For Orkz, 7" movement is pretty dang fast, especially for a "foot" model. That said, I don't think Ghaz is perfect. For me, I'd like to see his aura affect himself, I'd have preferred to have a "sweep" option for his Klaw, and I'd have liked for Ramming Speed to affect Monsters as well. But, in terms of sheer survivability, Ghaz outclasses anything else in the Ork line-up by miles.

Your definition of sloppy is "He differs too much from the previous version", which is a weird definition.
You're still not providing proof, you're giving benefit of the doubt to GW as the usual white knight would. He can't advance and charge like he used to whereas other Bosses just do it, he doesn't benefit even Goff Bikers with extra attacks as he's just not inspirational to them for whatever reason but regular Wartrikes will be helping THEM advance and charge, and of course he has the pointless stikk Bombs that he'll never use.
So he isn't going to do anything besides live until T2, which regular Warbosses will do with basic character protection rules. He's sloppy design with little thought put into him. They didn't even bother to give him D2 on his shooting weapon that he will land maybe FIVE hits with, which scares nobody. Ya know, GW thinking they give him 12 shots and he's dangerous in shooting all the sudden.

It's not fast simply because he cannot charge after advancing. He's moving an average of 10.5" or just 7" with the chance to charge.

I did provide reasons.
1. Sloppy writing has been a consistency from GW. It's hard to deny this.
2. Rules that he benefitted from before with no issue do not benefit him now, simply because of a keyword change preventing it, especially when other Warboss variants benefit themselves too. That is inconsistency and therefore sloppiness.

I did provide reasons.
1. Sloppy writing has been a consistency from GW. It's hard to deny this.
2. Rules that he benefitted from before with no issue do not benefit him now, simply because of a keyword change preventing it, especially when other Warboss variants benefit themselves too. That is inconsistency and therefore sloppiness.
1) Nonsense reason, i will not waste time on it.
2) Inconsistent and sloppy are 2 completely different things. Sloppy means lazy.
Please provide a reason why you think that design is sloppy, you still have not done so.

1. Generic Warboss benefits from own aura
2. Generic Wartrike benefits from own aura
3. Ghaz somehow doesn't because nothing was reworded in his rules
That's sloppy right there AND inconsistent

So you wanted new Ghaz to be a copy +1 of a warboss? And you talk about being sloppy?

That's literally what he is. The most powerful Warboss, who has always liked getting into the thick of it and had rules to help that, can no longer do it. Perhaps you want to defend it and say it's fluffy now because he's afraid of getting into melee with Blackmane again! Soooooo fluffy good job GW take my money!

"GW you are so lazy! You gave me a new inspired design, extremely characteristic and with actual new rules, instead of another generic warboss that i could do in 5 minutes copy pasting the standard datasheet and increasing some random numbers!! How can you be so lazy!!!"
You can complain that you don't like the new design, but complaining that they were lazy because they have put extra work in it, is ultra dumb.
