Warboss yak, Disciple of Dakka is a unique character for Waaagh Dakka, a virtual army for Warhammer 40,000.

Background and Description

Warboss yak

"Boss! Da 'umies are comin' on da right side over dere!"

"Is you dumb? You want me to smack youz wit da roolz book 'ere? Den maybe dat brain of yourz would work. Da 'umies are comin' on da right side youz say? Den grab da boyz over dere and get sum MOAR DAKKA on da stinkin 'umies!"

As part of the Bad Moonz clan, the Ork who would become Warboss yak had a love of ranged combat from his earliest days and plenty of the teef needed to procure the weapons needed to profess his love to the galaxy. His proficiency with a gun quickly earned him a place in a Freeboota company headed up by the infamous Pirate Russ...a fellow connoisseur of Dakka.

Yak quickly made his way up through the ranks of the Warband partially fueled by the amazing kustom weapons he was able to commission from a young mek in the warband named Legoburner. It was exactly one of these weapons: a giant kustom shoota with a blazing rate of fire, which allowed yak to come out on top in a Nob free-for-all scrap to decide who would replace Russ as boss of the warband.

Upon taking command of the warband, yak inhereted the most prized possession of Russ: a translated copy of a 'umie book called 'Da Roolz uv War'. Yak read this book from cover to cover, learning all sorts of kunnin' strategies that most Orks would never dream of using. After a particularly long study session he emerged from his quarters a bit crazed and uttered his new 'genius' plan: the warband would formally be renamed 'Waaagh Dakka' and they would embark upon a quest to prove once and for all that 'Dakka Dakka' was the supreme measure of force in the galaxy.

In the years since, Waaagh Dakka has blazed across the Eastern fringe of the galaxy and continued to attract any and all Orks who share the love of Dakka to its banner. Warboss yak is always thick in the action, shouting kunnin' strategies from his roolz book and blazing away with his latest kustom job produced by Big Mek Lego.

Characteristic Profile

Unit Composition

• 1 (unique)

Unit Type

• Infantry (character)

Wargear

• Kustom Armor (a 3+ armor save)
• Slugga
• Choppa
• Stikkbombs
• Bosspole
• Da Roolz Book: Yak has memorized his big book of 'Roolz' and uses them to come up with Kunnin' plans. A single unit of Troops in the army may outflank. In addition, all outflanking units in the army may re-roll their die to determine which table edge they enter from.
• Ammo Runt: Yak is accompanied by a single special Ammo Runt that allows him to reroll the 3D6 to see how many shots his Kustom Shoota fires on full-auto (see below for details).
• Lego's Kustom Shoota: When firing Lego's Kustom Shoota, yak may choose to instead fire it on full-auto.
  *When Lego's Kustom Shoota is fired on full-auto it counts as an 'Assault 3D6, Twin-Linked' weapon for that phase only. Once fired on full-auto, all its ammunition is expended and the weapon may not be used again for the rest of the game.

Special Rules

• Independent Character
• Furious Charge
• Mob Rule
  
• Waaagh!
  
• Da Big Boss: yak is a Warboss, which means he allows one Meganobz or Nobz mob may be taken as a Troops choice in the army.
• The Waaagh of Dakka: yak's warcry is dedicated to a different aspect of the Ork Waaagh and therefore has a very different effect. It replaces the army's usual Waaagh!, and if both Warboss yak and Ghazghkull Thraka are in the same army then only one of their special Waaaghs (of your choice) can be utilized.

Once per game, so long as Warboss yak is still alive, the Waaagh of Dakka can be called during any of one of his shooting phases after the first. All models with the Waaagh! special rule (including Warboss yak himself) that fire an Assault weapon that same shooting phase add +1 to the number of shots the weapon fires.
