Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 If you have not seen, orks have new rules for their dakka. Basically an ork only weapon type with more shots at half range, which makes it a bit more dangerous for us get close Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370998-new-dakka-how-do-we-adjust/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 It honestly doesn't change anything tactic-wise. We still gotta get into melee to win. It's just a bit more dangerous now.

Xenith Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Keep calm and Assault Doctrine. This realistically changes nothing. The rule is actually worse than the current Dakka Dakka Dakka rule. Exploding sixes is pretty much identical to 50% more shots at close range, but Dakka weapons are worse than before at longer ranges. Assuming a flat D6 probability: 3 boys with Shootas at 1 - 9". Before: 6 Shots, 3 hits at BS5+ with the DakkaDakkaDakka rule. After: 9 shots, 3 hits at BS5+ with DAKKA weapons. 3 boys with Shootas at 10 - 18". Before: 6 Shots, 3 hits with with DakkaDakkaDakka. After: 6 shots, 2 hits DAKKA weapons. Not only that, they lose the ability to advance and shoot, as assault weapons changed to DAKKA weapons. Definitely a downgrade, given the current knowledge.

Rhavien Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Do we know that they lost the dakka dakka dakka rule? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370998-new-dakka-how-do-we-adjust/#findComment-5720203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Do we know that they lost the dakka dakka dakka rule? That’s right. Dakka is no longer an ability, it’s an entirely new weapon type! from the article: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/07/14/new-codex-orks-guns-are-so-shooty-that-dakka-is-a-whole-weapon-type/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370998-new-dakka-how-do-we-adjust/#findComment-5720207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 they have essentially, quite rightly, ensured ork shooting is about spraying and praying at close range.

Rhavien Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Well, must have missed this. Anyway, I'm not really worried by this development. T5 boys on the other side... I'm curious how this will play out. At least another plus for encarmine axes ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370998-new-dakka-how-do-we-adjust/#findComment-5720289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
