More dakka, are orks the biggest threat now?

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

More Dakka seems to be a massive shooting buff to orks, and ork melee is already pretty solid on its own. Orks are fairly tough, but cheap enough to be taken in decent numbers.

 

im sure the detachment rule will get a serious nerf in next month or two.

 

i look forward to skirmishing my guard and marines against them to see how it goes before taking the army out for real.

Does that rule apply ti Killa Kans? 

 

How many infantry units are benefiting? 

 

For me I'm looking at this new one vs Dread Mob

It applies to all ork infantry and walkers.

 

theres one strat for walkers that excludes killa kanz

I wonder if max Killa Kanz and max Tankbustas is the play. Add a mek to a unit of Lootas with the +1 to hit item. 

 

Also maybe silly interaction but would adding a mek to Mek Gunz work?

How does this detachment rule work with flashgitz?

 

do they simply go to sustained 2 or do we add the sustained 1 to the sustained 2?

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Special rules with different numbers (such as sustained) don't add together unless the rules specifically indicate such.  So, you would choose which Sustained rule you want to apply, which would presumably be the Sustained 2 one.

 

That's to be found in the Rules Updates and Commentary, at page 21 under "Duplicated Core Abilities".

 

So, a bit of a miss for a very Bad Moons unit in a very Bad Moons detachment, but it makes sense from a rules perspective.

I’m not sure which I like better for this detachment, lootas or flashgitz.
