Do ork boys have tankbusta bombs or not? They have the "tankbusta bomb" keyword in the codex but their profile lacks the bombsquig entry.

Dakka is the ork word for shooting, but the ork concept of shooting is saturation fire. Just as there is no such thing as a "miss" in a target-rich environment, there is no such thing as a "dodge" in a bullet rich one

Ah i see. So my interpretation is correct if i say that kommandos (units with the entry in their datasheet) can release the squig whenever they can, without the strata but can use the strata for 2d3 mortals on vehicles if they want.
Boys van only use them through the strata VS vehicles?

Tankbusta bombs and bombsquigs are two different things.
Only sguighog riders and actual tankbusta boys have bombsquigs (the squiggy models). and are effectively a weaponthat the unit can take.
Tankbusta bombz are a keyword that allows any unit that has it to be the target of a strategem in the book.

Yeah, I was about to say. Every mob of boys can do bomb squigs now? That can't be right....

Boyz have tankbusta bombs, which are the ork's variant of melta bombs and thus got a similar stratagem as the imperial version. You can see it in action in the DoW1 intro around the 1:12 mark where an orks sticks one to a dread. Squighog riders and kommadoz have bomb squigs, which is a squig stuffed full of explosives running at the enemy and exploding, as seen in the new KT trailer at the 1:07 mark: Tankbustas simply have both.

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.
Orks do not have the power of believe. |
