Hazelnut Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 If an Ork unit is wearing mega-armor, can it get to sweep the losing side away after an assault? I would have thought that like TDA it would not be able to, but I can't find that written anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty the Pyro Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 they are orks, they are not going to put something on if it stops them from krumpin some git thats tryin to get away. I mean their less than amazing initive tends to do that anyway, but there is no such restriction on their armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverneil Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 The only restriction they have is 'Slow and Purposeful' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were restricted from sweeping advance then it would be written under mega-armour. If it isn't there, then they can sweeping advance.

Hazelnut Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Thank you all for your responses. Confirms that I wasn't being blind and just missing it. Seems a little odd that Orks with a ton of metal armor with low tech skills can, but the marines with higher tech TDA cannot... still, now I know. A Warboss and 5 Meganobz blew away my 9 Grey Hunters and Rune Priest in a single round because they fell back after rolling 12 on the morale and were swept away. :-o I did take down the boss and give a couple of wounds, but it made no difference. Tough whatsits aren't they! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough whatsits aren't they! orks are much bigger and more muscular than marines. maybe that's why they can move better in their armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough whatsits aren't they! Marines can't get swept. Codex Marines can't because of 'And They Shall Know No Fear'. Don't know about Wolves but don't they have that rule too?

Yeah, all the loyalist Space Marines have ATSKNF. Sweeping advances do still matter a little bit for marines; it's just that instead of being completely wiped out the unit only takes No Retreat wounds.

TDA is repurposed maintence suit for working within plasama reactors. It was not originaly desighned as combat gear. Mega armor was. Also do not understimat the tech skills of orkz. they have guns that are litteraly hand held teleporters that drill a portal through the warp.

DarkGuard Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I thought that the majority of Ork tech was powered through low level psychic energy rather than any actual tech. As in a Marine couldn't fire an Ork gun because it is junk, but an Ork believes that it is a gun and so therefore it fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means we would be in real trouble if some Ork ever got it into his head that all shootas and sluggas are AP3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 OK we're getting well out of bounds of rules issues here. Let's keep this on topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBMAKENZIE Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Old Slow and Purposeful restricted things from Running units down didnt it? That could be the reason for the difference in Mega Armour. It wasnt intended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
