<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Ork ~ single rokkit pistol?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Ork ~ single rokkit pistol? Should I treat this as a regular Slugga or (paying full price) treat it as a Rokkit Pistol (getting only the one shot, instead of two that a pair would get)?

This unit is, basically, just all of the Boyz with Rokkit Launchas, from several of the Boyz sprues, with the Nob from the same kit, but with a kitbashed pair of Rokkits, from the MegaNobz kit, on the chopped-down body of the regular Slugga.

Thank you. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422644.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422644.page GMT Ork ~ single rokkit pistol?

So I have a squad of Tankbustas with a Nob leading them. The Nob has been modelled wielding a Poker Klaw and a single Rokkit Pistol. I have noticed there is an entry for paired Rokkit Pistols (which get one shot each) but not for a single Rokkit Pistol.

WYSIWYG isn't a rule, so you treat it a pair of Rokkit pistols or a Rokkit Launcher. You cannot treat it as a single rokkit pistol because there is no option to do so. As long as you pick a legal option on your army list, go nuts. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422650.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422650.page GMT Ork ~ single rokkit pistol?

Hrm... Parharps I could strap a Rokkit to the side of the Power Klaw, to generate rights to a claim of the Pistol being "paired"?

Or just glue one to the base to stop anyone screeching about WYSIWYG. He dropped it while screaming WAAAAAAAAAAGH!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422690.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422690.page GMT Ork ~ single rokkit pistol?
I guess this is sort of in line about worrying about what size base my minis are on, I guess? Bases were 25mm when I started collecting but now 32mm is the new standard for Orkk Boyz? As if they do not, already, take up enough real-estate on the gaming table, amirite? [grumbls more]

So I am worrying about too much, then? Just relax a bit and be reasonable about stuff? It should be fine, so long as I avoid tournaments and such?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422702.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422702.page GMT Ork ~ single rokkit pistol? WYSIWYG, but that's just my personal experience.

I suggest just gluing a discarded pistol to the base as that covers all bases.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422708.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422708.page GMT Ork ~ single rokkit pistol?

It would have to be a pretty big pistol if it covers all bases. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422720.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422720.page GMT Ork ~ single rokkit pistol?

Ba dum tss!

The kitbashed pistol has a pair of Rokkits on it. I still have another spare Rokkit I could glue to it, too. Think that may suffice?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422723.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422723.page GMT Ork ~ single rokkit pistol? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422761.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422761.page GMT Ork ~ single rokkit pistol?

The Boss Nob can't be armed with a pair of rokkit pistols (only a Tankbusta can) - he can only have a rokkit launcher, or if you use Index wargear options he can trade his rokkit launcher for a big choppa or a power klaw. Unfortunately he can't have both a power klaw and a rokkit launcher. Personally I would treat your Boss Nob as though he is armed with a rokkit launcher and treat the power klaw as purely ornamental.
How did I miss that? You're right, the Tankbusta nob has zero wargear options. Even if you use the index it's only for a Big Choppa or Power Klaw which replaces the Rokkit Launcher.

So yeah, your Nob can't actually have a pistol of any sort. But don't fret, WYSIWYG is not a rule so it's fine to have it modelled as such. Just remember to give your Nob either a Power Klaw or a Rokkit Launcher on the roster (and if you want highlight it to the opponent so they don't think it has both despite your army roster being clear).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422762.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422762.page GMT Ork ~ single rokkit pistol?
Fudgenuggets.... No options, eh? Time to buy a box of proper Tankbustas, I guess? This is a kick in the junk. I made the mistake of only buying one box of MegaNobz and making a Mek, the other day, too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422794.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422794.page GMT Ork ~ single rokkit pistol?

Sadly the days of being able to make "your dudes" are long gone.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422802.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422802.page GMT Ork ~ single rokkit pistol?
Not sure what to do with him. He looks cool, but the arm is useless, as no Nob can wield a pair of Rokkit Pistols. (Unless he counts as a Tankbusta, at which point I could, but he isn't)
Have a pair of MegaNobz that I can not do anything with (I have memories of "retinues") without spending another $90 on (I bought these with money I had saved up for my birthday)



Grumble mumble piss and moan.


Yeah, I am (not literally) going to dissolve the Tankbustas unit, as I have no appropriate Nob for them. I can replace the Rokkit Pistol arm with an arm I took off a Nob from another set and add that Nob to the squad of Nobz, easily enough. If/when I save up enough for a Tankbustas set, I will have 4 extra Tankbustas for it. Or could swap out the Big Shootas I have in my Boyz units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422843.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422843.page GMT Ork ~ single rokkit pistol? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422847.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422847.page GMT Ork ~ single rokkit pistol?
[Continues ranting]

Y'know what? Fudge it! I am not intending on playing in any events, so why worry? I will just point out my intentions of treating the Nob as though it were a Tankbusta and giving it access to equivalent gear. If anyone takes issue, then it is a Nob with Slugga and Power Klaw!

Waauuuugh!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422861.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422861.page GMT Ork ~ single rokkit pistol?

They didn't overlook anything. For the most part, unit options are dictated by what the kit in question can build.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422881.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774504/10422881.page GMT
