Armageddon: the Ork 'alf

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Agree, but the old warboss had that too - it just now applies when the warboss is on its own, which I agree, while a limited use case, is still a valid bonus over the old one.

I wonder how soon we get a new Nob kit.

 

The new Nobz look now propa big compared to Boyz (as they should) and hopefully the new kit will have the all the old options and more.

 

But the real question is that if they refresh Mega Nobz, how dey’z gonna make dem more snazzy den dem Mega-Beakiez.

 

Dem Mega-Beakiez ’ave Rokkit Racks, ’anmerz, Big Dakka Shootas and more.

 

We’ze gotta show all dem gitz dat Orkz ’ave da bestest, shiniest, killest WHAAAGH-gear around.

I think the current meganobz kit suffers from looking immobile, not unstoppable. By contrast I really liked assembling the current nobz kit, there are lots of interesting and characterful bits. I like the dynamism of the Armageddon nobz and I hope that translates to mega armour and all the other equipment options.

Strength 10 (and 11 on the waagh, presuming the rules for that stay the same) are still really big break points, so the klaw still seems the better choice if you want your boss to melee most vehicles.  That said, I wouldn't be surprised if it also picked up a buff to one of its stats.

Depends. If it’s not like a 4+ vs 6+  or a 2+ vs a 5+difference for wounding it seems like number of attacks generally wins out a lot of the time.

or if there’s not an AP difference or noticeable damage differences

Nice wee article on how the Boyz and Grots from the Armageddon box go together. Seems like the most customisation of any pushfit kit we've ever seen.

Very pleasantly surprised, wasn't planning on getting the whole box but the Ork half looks great.

Yeah these Boyz are a great solution to the push-fit problem. With the previous two xenos antagonists, their basic push for troops can get by by looking kind of cloney because Necron Warriors and Termagants are just kinda of cloney anyway. But Boyz need character and variety.

 

Gives me real hope on a MPK kit, assuming that's coming
