Use this at the end of your Shooting phase. Until the end of the phase, each time an attack is made against that unit, an unmodified wound roll of for that attack fails, irrespective of any abilities that the weapon or the model making the attack may have.
Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack that target a TITANIC unit, add 2 to the Damage characteristic of that attack. Use this before the battle, when you are mustering your army. Each Relic in your army must be unique, and you cannot use this to give a model two relics. You can only use this once, unless you are playing Strike Force battle twice, or Onslaught battle three times.
Each Warlord Trait in your army must be unique and you cannot use this to give a model tow Warlord Traits. That unit can ignore any or all modifiers to the charge roll. If there are no enemy models within Engagement Range of that model, it can immediately be selected to declare a charge again.
Use this during deployment. You can set up this unit on a tellyporta pad instead of setting it up on the battlefield. You can re-roll one of the dice for that charge roll instead of both. Use this at the start of any phase. Use this in the Fight phase. Until the end of the phase, each time a Burna Boy model in that unit makes a melee attack, that attack has an Armour Penetration of This cannot be improved by any abilities or rules that improve Armour Penetration.
Until the end of the phase, Dakka weapons that unit is equipped with are considered to be within half range when determining how many attacks are made with that weapon. Select one model in that unit; that model can only make one attack this phase and must target an enemy VEHICLE unit with that attack, but if a hit is scored, that units suffers 2D3 mortal wounds and the attack sequence ends.
Until the end of the phase, each time that model makes a ranged attack, if a hit is scored against a target that is not TITANIC and cannot FLY, then until the start of your next Movement phase, halve the Move characteristic of models in the target unit and subtract 2 from the results of Advance rolls and charge rolls made for that unit. Select one model in your army that is equipped with a kustom force field. At the end of this turn, the kustom force field overloads and cannot be used for the rest of the battle.
Each clan has an associated Clan Stragem. Use this at the start of the Fight phase. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack with a Dakka weapon, an unmodified hit roll of 6 scores 1 additional hit. That unit can immediately make a Normal Move as if it was your Movement phase. That unit is not eligible to charge this turn.
Until the end of the phase, that unit can attempt to deny one psychic power as if it were Psyker. Use this at the start of your Shooting or Fight phase. Use this at the end of your Movement phase if the mission you are playing is using Strategic Reserves rule. Place that unit in Strategic Reserve. Use this at the start of your Command phase.
Until the start of your next Command phase, that unit gains the Objective Secured ability. Named characters such as Ghazghkull Thraka cannot be given any of the following Shiny Gubbinz — they have their own unique wargear.
Where this is the case, you must, if you are playing a matched play game or are otherwise using points values, still pay the cost of the weapon that is being replaced. Each time an attack is allocated to this model, halve the Damage characteristic of that attack.
Add 1 to armour saving throws made for the bearer. Model equipped with Power Klaw only. This Relic replaces a power klaw and has the following profile. Model equipped with a kustom shoota only. Each time the bearer attempts to manifest a Witchfire psychic power, add 1 to the Psychic test.
Each clan has an associated Clan Relic. GOFF model only. At the start of the Fight phase, if this WARLORD is within Engagement Range of any enemy units, those units cannot be selected to fight until all eligible units from your army have done so.
This Relic has the following profile. Abilities: Blast, This weapon can target units that are not visible to the bearer.
The bearer can only shoot with this weapon once per battle. You can select the psychic powers you wish the psyker to have. No more than one model can be destroyed as a result of these mortal wounds any excess damage is lost. Roll one D6 for each model in that unit: for each roll of 6, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound. IF the result of the Psychic test was 9 or more, add 1 to rolls when resolving this psychic power.
Blessing: Warpath has a warp charge value of 6. Unti the start of your next Psychic phase, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in that unit. On the other hand, Grot Shields will now cost you 2 CP, so using them as a diversion will be something you turn to less often, even with the improved toughness. Meganobz are mostly the same as ever, with the only loss being that taking two Killsaws is now more expensive though the basic claw build gets cheaper thanks to not paying a premium for the kustom shoota.
Burna Boyz and Tankbustas both catch some improvements. These only go up a pt per model each and the power claw on the Boss Nob is now no longer mandatory, meaning that you now get these at a better point per wound price than before despite the jump to T5 the claw is also only 5pts extra. In addition, in line with scout units from other factions these now scout deploy rather than deep strike, providing you with an absolutely dirt cheap source of screening. These are crazy good, you want some units to field as utility MSUs.
The final thing here is that this is sort of a split datasheet — if you take 10 models in a squad, you suddenly unlock a bunch of extra wargear options, representing all the cool toys from the Kill Team kit for these.
Rounding out the Elites slot is a collection of various support characters. Finally, Mad Dok Grotsnik returns in this slot, continuing to provide the Painboy aura for multiple Clans at once and thus being plausibly viable in a mixed list.
Several of the the Orktober Buggies come out of this book looking pretty fantastic. This was the runt of the litter before but has received some classic overcorrection and is now completely bonkers.
In addition, the saw blades strapped to it now hit at S7 AP-2 D2. All this for a mere 90pts each is completely wild, and of these in lists is a very real prospect. Finally, shooting. First up, the Kustom Boosta Blasta is the cheapest of the lot, rocking in at 80pts each, gain more shots on their rivet cannons and see their four flamers jump to d6 shots each rather than d3. Also pretty good! Definitely last in the queue. These are, bluntly, outrageous powerhouses that should form a part of many successful lists.
They seem like great fun to use though, so a real boon for casual play. For your shooty mounted option you get Warbikers. Realistically, the flexibility and pure crunch of the Squighoggs probably gives them the nod, but for the right list you could make a case for these.
Yes please! Fantastic in Deathskulls in particular for ObSec, but just a generically useful utility unit that fills a role you need. Making an illustrious return to the main range, Deffkoptas look pretty interesting.
THey also rack up a lot of Ramshackle wounds, and are surprisingly good horder clearers in melee, as their blades multiply their attacks. A neat unit that could definitely see some play. That leaves either a generic one built to be a cheap battering ram, or a Bonebreaka for a fiercer push threat.
For points you get a 16 wound, 8 Toughness vehicle with Ramshackle that doubles as a model transport, triples as a mobile pile of weapons capable of shooting and fighting in melee, and quadruples as a Psyker Character. The Kill Rig does it all. Building your own Silent King for pts and a CP is big and clever. Expect to see lots of them just as soon as players manage to paint the thing. The price differential to upgrade to the Kill Rig is small enough that it seems very unlikely you want to take this version.
The addition of Ramshackle, like for a lot of units, makes these look way spicier than before, and just strapping four claws to them and sending them lumbering towards the enemy demanding an answer seems perfectly fun! Mek Gunz were a constant nightmare from the old book, being far too annoying to take off the board, far too powerful for the cost in the case of Smashas at least and very abusive with While We Stand less with To the Last , but still annoying.
The good news is that these are still cheap 45pts a piece , and Ramshackle is big nonsense on them. However, three solos feels like a very valid play in a tonne of lists, so I guess find some Orky friends to palm them off to. They still represent a whole bunch of Dakka autocannon shots, and the lure of driving a squad around in a Battlewagon is there, but they look unlikely to be top tier. First, the good news — these are no longer required to be Freebooterz, so you can run them as whatever clan you do so choose.
The bad news? Having something sticky you can commit to the mid board right away is still good in 9th, and packing one of these with some bodies gives you that. The Ork Flyers in general get a huge win from Ramshackle, as it makes them much more annoying to take down. They also come on a nice sliding curve of price — the Dakkajet is extremely cheap to the point where you probably at least think about it as a random Engage on All Fronts tool. I mean not literally. Because they fly.
Can you tell that writing the unit sections of these reviews ends up as a bit of a death march sometimes? Finally, for your slightly fancier class of plane you have the Wazbomb Blastajet. Where these shine is offensively, most notably because they can mount two tellyport blastas. The Ork Lord of War slot swells in number, with Morkanauts and Gorkanauts now having statlines that befit their Knight-like stature. What really hangs over these is the fact that the Forge World Kill Tank 1.
Finally here, the Stompa, gifted a substantial drop in points and some improvements to its killing power, with more shots on some of its guns and better damage on its already potent melee attacks.
Does that make it good? If they go away? This datasheet is, honestly, a massive argument for some of these Fortifications becoming AoS style free add-ons for armies, it would fit very well into that paradigm.
The Bossbunka honestly gets a lot closer to playability than most of these do — it provides an open topped transport for 10 models, a pretty decent shooting attack of its own and a solid defensive profile, all at 75pts. If you want something to hide Lootas in, and are very sure that your tables will support you setting this up, you can genuinely do worse. Orks are about overwhelming the opponent.
There certainly are some! Ork Characters other than Ghaz used to be disappointingly fragile, with a lack of invulns that made them operate like glass cannons. No more. The baseline stats on your warbosses are now much heftier, and units like the Deffkilla Wartrike and especially the Beastboss on Squigosaur are terrifying wrecking balls that can soak up pain as well as dish it out. This lets you either plug gaps in your lines or strike hard at a point where the opponent is weak, smashing their forces asunder and dominating the board.
The other units that are just wildly improved across the board are the buggies, all now pretty tremendous at their jobs and strong in both lists built around them and included alongside other units. The other shiny new assets are the scout deploy from Kommandos and mobile melee punch from Squighog Boyz. Fun times. The big things I like about this book are the global re-calibration of what it means to be an Ork, especially for the Characters, plus a real focus on ensuring that almost everything with a hull is usable.
The 8th Edition Ork book was plenty powerful on a number of angles, but had a persistent problem that Boyz and anything that shared their statline kind of sucked at killing anything through anything other than sheer weight of numbers, and died to a stiff breeze.
Finally, a lot of the Vehicles were just bad. All of these problems are fixed in the new book. Vehicles also see some considerable improvements across the board. Vehicles have had a pretty uneven ride in 9th, and I was a bit worried going into this review that some of the Ork ones would end up worthless. Finally, Characters get the biggest glowup. That warping caused by damage reduction hits even harder once you add all the buggies as well. My gut says that if there are broken builds in this book, the Squigosaur is going to be near the crime scene looking massive and guilty, and his accomplices are likely to include large numbers of buggies.
Overall, I think this book succeeds on the metric of ensuring that Orks feel right, plus on giving players lots of fun ways to use their favourite kits, but I am skeptical that it has managed to dodge the recent curse of unleashing meta-smashing monstrosities on the tournament world. I suspect the lag time on them appearing is going to be longer than it was for Drukhari or AdMech, because the builds that appear to be the most potent require substantial numbers of complex new kits, and also lots of fiddly to paint units like buggies.
I will, as ever, be casting an eye across the tournament scene as things develop. This list is an attempt to sketch out what I think the Ork boot stomping on all our faces is roughly going to look like, cramming in multiple Squigosaurs, multiple Kill Rigs and a whole host of efficient buggies.
That lets them dart in to get full value from their shooting potential and squig mines, then zip back to safety or to grab an objective as the situation dictates. The Deathskulls detachment is then all about efficiency. Two Kill Rigs crammed with Beast Snagga Boyz are the obvious centrepieces, but more Rukkatrukks and some Scrapjets add some serious weight of dakka as well. You must be logged in to post a comment.
