Also don ´t agree Kannonwagon is a junk.

Semper consider just the pure weapon output but ignores the speed and range. It was pretty good B tier unit. With 20p sale even better.

Don ´ t even speak about inbuilt benefit of +1 BS.

BS 5+ affected by -1 to hit means 50% effectivity down

BS 4+ affected by -1 to hit means just 33% down



Its BS4+ on its main gun which means you can't buff it to 3+. Its a ranged unit ONLY and is paying for its transport capacity it will never use. yes its fast, yes it can reposition and shoot, but who gives a damn? It averages 3.5 hits at S8 -2AP 3dmg for 150pts (after points drop). That isn't impressive. For the same price I can take 3 KMKs which average 10.5 shots and 5.25 hits at S8 -3AP D6dmg. And the fact is, on short board, 36' is pretty damn good compared to what it used to be.

Well, to be honest with a 150pts-Kannonwagon, you are ALSO paying for T7 3+16W, and benefit the Klan Kultur (DF reroll, BA cover, etc...)

KMKs have better output which is good for alphastrike strategy but kill one (T5 5+ ) and the rest of the unit will run away.
If you're planning for more staying power, Kannonwagon is a good alternative, this is hardly a junk piece.

Grots are absolute must.


I don't know how I feel about this combo now. I've played it several times so far but only as part of a small goffs detachment in a mostly freebooterz army. Now we can't mix up klans and we can't even turn meganobz into big krumpaz if we want them to ride in wagons. So I might just run them as freebooterz, hoping that the warboss, the wagon or maybe a buggy or koptas kill something in close combat so those meganobz get +1 to hit in melee.

I don't think I'm ready to give up freebooterz speedwaaagh and turn into goffs waaagh.

I play them both and I really can't decide what's better. They're both pretty decent IMHO. At 150 points transport capacity for the wagon is basically free. We can't buff its BS to 3+ but we can use the freebooterz bonus to negate -1 to hit sources, which are pretty common, so the wagon could still fire at BS4+ towards anything.

Ok, I' m looking on to new missions and skip the point changes. MISSIONS shake the meta.

To win, one need more pourpose units for actions. And I don' speak about 1 model units. 3-5 models minimum. Optimaly infantry obsec troops. Or obsec bikers, but 3 squads are not enough I' m afraid.

What do we have that’s obsec, is it just bloodaxes?
I might have won yesterday if I had obsec but would have definitely missed the goff buffs so I don’t really want to convert to BA completely.

Deathskulls infantry all gain obsecc as part of our klan kulture so I'm thinking with the points drop to MANZ a couple of small units with kombi skorchas and klaws might be worth trying as fairly tough (for us anyway ) obsecc units with decent overwatch, enough fightiness to be a deterrent to a lot of units wanting to take our objectives and in cover a 1+ base save. I have always liked MANZ and found the kombi skorcha / klaw option to be a decent one for drive by shooting and think it would be worth at least experimenting with as obsecc pieces.

Freebooterz have a stratagem that gives obj sec to any infantry unit for one turn. I used it a few times on kommandos, although I don't think obj sec is really that important.

- All out TROOPS except grots are obsec = boyz and snaggaboyz
- Speed Mob BIKERS = obsec
- Orrible Gitz specialist GROTS = obsec
- FREEBOOTA INFANTRY via 1CP strategem can be obsec for a turn.
- DEATHSKULL INFANTRY = obsec

What is important to say is - on the other side - that ALL of the Primary objective “tasks” (or how to call it) can be done by ANY unit.

Just obsec units finish it on the end of the turn, other on the end of next Command phase. Or some other benefit like this…

Yeah, 3-5 models is pretty big change. Now min squads of cheap chaff might not do actions that easy.

So the large number of units will be also. Like someone said there in reaction on my “speed mob in one detach” post - we' ll have a use for single buggy units to do this.

And I guess I can point the finger to one exact buggy with unbuilt -1 to hit, that could be pretty good at it.

Or single KBB sitting with his flamers ready to burn the charging units.

Or a single SJD trying to telyport himself to do the action somewhere.

Interesting…

Just pay 90p for unit doing the action is quite a lot.

Another note - all primary tasks are written so, you can ascore about 3VP per turn. And NO MORE. So you need to score slowly every turn. Can' t wait for the last few turns to score a lot.

Generaly:

1. squigbuggies and other noLOS shooters are even more important now. Because you want to kill the potentily scoring units faster.
2. Sitting castles suffer. Game makes you move into the midfield. Or it seems like that.
3. Low number of units suffer.
4. Obsec infantry jetpacks rules. All the glory to the Deathskull Stormboyz. Can anybody built a list about it? Who knows…

Retrieve Nachmund Data is still great for us, besides the only downside it maxes out at 12 so no 100 point games.
But you might want to have one squad of of Stormboys and Kommandos with 6 models instead of 5, so you don`t get yourself in the situation to roll a 6 and fail the action.
Sadly only Troop units get the -1 on that roll, would have been cool if it was for ObSec units as well.

Our Bikers can do that one as well, but i don`t know if i can spare those. But it`s a good reason to switch from mobs of 3 to mobs of 5 in Speedmob, so you have a better chance to do the action. But i guess unlike the Stormboys the Bikers care about blast, so no mobs of 6 here - guess there will be some gambling left.

Well those buggies can still shoot, its not like you just buy it for throwaway scoring. With the Speedmob 5++ they can tank a few hits as well.
Also i often end up with Engage being the best 3rd secondary as it scores 10+ very easy and is thus better than most of the kill secondaries in a lot of matchups.
I had many games where i ended up scoring 0 for stuff like Assassinate, Stranglehold or action based secondaries, but i think not even once i got 0 for engage.

Well you can advance and use an ability.


But the specific ability i.e bomb squig requires you to select a target when you are making a shooting attack or performing overwatch.

If you are unable to to meet the requirements of the ability you cannot resolve it's effects.

New fun thing to test with the changes: Big Éd Bossbunka with BA Lootas inside. Fun that Fortifications get a shot to deploy finally.

Considering how dirt cheap the bunka is for its defensive profile, I'm really thinking about bringing it now.

I'm just wondering what to but in it - 8+1 lootas seems like a decent option, with a SAG or badrukk for the last slot. Or maybe tank bustas?

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 do not think that purple makes them harder to see. They do think that camouflage does however, without knowing why.
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.

much of the interest i have in the bunka is its ability to be tellyported in.

But that doesnt really help me as i would place it up the field (where theres literally no room due to the stupid fortification rules).

And i highly doubt if i deepstrike it in my own deployment zone that im allowed to start moving terrain. I would guess this only happens during deployment phase.

But.. it is only 75 points so maybe i should try and use the bunka too. Im just sad that the best way to use it (deepstrike) is still not possible.

Hope, is the first step on the road to disappointment.

I guess you could used it to remove annoying dense terrain (-1 to hit always hurts you more than your opponent) or stuff that blocks your buggies from moving. It's also quite tall, so when you deploy it on the edge of your deployment zone, you tend to have LoS to everything that's not obscured. The gun also isn't half bad, and the whole thing is just 80 points.

If you ever happen to play planet strike, make sure to bring it - it's one of the few good fortifications for that mode.

That's what the teleport blasta is for. To blast someones face off lol

But i have both a trukk and a bunker in my crusade army. I choose what to use based on the mission.

CUT OFF THE HEAD mission the bunker tactic worked well Vs Drukhari - bunker protected my HQs

Ya it’s +140pts over the chapter approved which is a lot…
The LVO should be the last tournament where ork competitive lists aren’t nerfed.
I mean I’m sure we will see a few lists with meganobs and a few more tournament winning lists but I seriously doubt you see orks winning another major this edition. It will be an uphill battle for them to place too.

Many Waaaaagh ago, in the times when most of us were just a small funguses, in the times when even mighty Ghazkhul Thraka was a small metal ork, in another similar dirty noisy virtual bar, small Jidman and small Semper or who told us a story about the old waaaagh concept based on the target oversaturation switch.

Put just Vehicles on the table and focus your fire on anti-infantry weapons and kill them. In your Vehicles, there is an infantry. And after your Vehicles are destroid, your infantry jumps out. And there are no anti infantry weapons around.

And that is what Liam did. With a nice update, that this infantry sudenly has mighty plastic Ghazzy as support, because he finaly came to the other side of the table.

It is important to understand this. Because if one understand this, than he can update the list according to the new points and do it the same way.
