Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Ork Lootas (2018)

Product Information

Finally, for your slightly fancier class of plane you have the Wazbomb Blastajet. An important change on these is that they no longer have a KFF, instead being able to buy a Wazbomb Force Field that provides a 5++ aura for Aircraft only. If you find yourself taking several planes it might be worth considering, but it’s fairly pricy for a single one – especially as the planes can still benefit from a KFF on the ground, meaning that if you’re going vehicle heavy and relying on a Boostaed field for turn one protection, these can just tag in on that. Lootas are the thieves and scavengers of Ork society - light-fingered villains who will pinch anything that isn't nailed down. No one can feel safe around a mob of Lootas - a brief scuffle with a Loota over a stolen thing will most often result to the previous owner finding his lunch, his Slugga and his golden teef are mysteriously missing. Some of them are so efficient, they can even loot enemy vehicles. However, Lootas are also very open-minded about their posessions. If an Ork is skilled enough to be able to steal anything from a Loota, he won't claim his posession (at least not when the thief is looking) - he stole it fairly, after all. Some Lootas insist that 'sharin' is an essential part of Ork Kultur, but most Orks insist that Lootas are a bunch of thieving skumbags, with no more honour than a baked squig. [1a] If an Ork tribe is beaten by another, stronger tribe, the defeated Orks welcome the opportunity to be led into battle by a new leader of even greater power. To assist their highly-mobile warbands, the Evil Sunz possess a larger population than normal of Mekboyz to keep those vehicles tuned and running. By far the largest number of Ork Speed Freeks come from the Evil Sunz klan.

If your WARLORD is a WARBOSS, then once per battle, in your Command phase, you can call a Waaagh!. To do so, that WARBOSS must be on the battlefield or embarked on a TRANSPORT that is on the battlefield. If your WARLORD is a SPEEDBOSS, then once per battle, in your Command phase, you can instead call a Speedwaaagh!. To do so, that SPEEDBOSS must be on the battlefield. If your WARLORD is GHAZGHKULL THRAKA, you can instead call a Great Waaagh!. To do so, GHAZGHKULL THRAKA must be on the battlefield or embarked on a TRANSPORT that is on the battlefield. Hot on the heels of the two most powerful codexes we’ve seen in 9th edition, Codex Orks releases this weekend. Well, kind of. Similar to what they did for the Adepta Sororitas in 8th edition, Games Workshop have released Codex: Orks as part of a limited edition boxed set with a collection of the new Beast Snagga models, with plans to release the Codex to the wider public in a number of weeks. So it’s out, but not quite out – to the point that Games Workshop’s own Warhammer Open 40k tournament in Orlando isn’t allowing the new Ork rules. It’s a bit weird, but a book’s a book and that means more C O N T E N T for you, dear reader. The people who love the idea of big green himbo football hooligans tearing their way across the galaxy in search of their next scrap. Goff armies are notorious for the sheer number of Ork infantry they muster in times of war. A mob of Goff Boyz is usually at least twenty strong, and a true Goff horde has a hundred times that number at its heart.An Ork's love of speed can easily affect his brain, to the point where an Ork becomes addicted to the thrill of a wild ride into battle. Beyond even a Speed Freek's delirium there are also Flyboyz, whose need for speed has driven them into the air in search of ever greater thrills, piloting the Ork's Fightas and Fighta-Bommerz. When the Emperor of Mankind revealed Himself to Humanity following the Long Night of the Age of Strife in the early 30th Millennium, He shaped war-torn Terra into a single unified world for the first time in long millennia. Once he had conquered Terra, He looked to taking His Great Crusade to the stars.

Another change previewed on WarCom in the last couple of weeks, the old Warboss’ Waaagh! Ability has been replaced by two new ones – Waaagh! And Speedwaaagh! – which have similar effects but instead of being an aura are now army-wide, once-per-game abilities with effects that last for two turns. However, this skill is an unconscious one preserved through genetic memories hard-wired into the Oddboyz's DNA by the Brain Boyz millions of standard years ago. We’ll get the Speed Freekz options out the way first because there’s a clear standout – Junkboss gives the model a 4++, and if you have a Deffkilla Trike this is a great add. The others are a little meh, but don’t forget that the regular traits are all available as well.These are fine, with the Mega Armour flavour more likely to see play – the price premium isn’t massive, he swings at a spicy S9 base, and a 2+ save and extra wound are good times. Remember, however, that you’re limited to one WARBOSS per detachment, so these are competing with your Beastbosses. Beastboss As expected, anything with the WARBOSS keyword, which comprises Warbosses, Deffkilla Wartrikes, Beastbosses (foot and mounted), and some of the Named Characters are now one per detachment – this is in line with every other codex. Orks are now Toughness 5

Of all the races I have battled throughout the galaxy, the Ork is the hardest to comprehend. They wage war with machines that should not work, care little for strategic gains, and are just as likely to slaughter each other as the enemy. How does one battle an enemy that defies all logic?" The Emperor proved successful, and without its power source, the scrap world collapsed in on itself. A hollow skin of rusted metal around an empty void was all that remained to mark the death of the great Ork empire of Gorro. The dominant tech-caste on Gorro seemed to be fascinated by a form of plasma technology never encountered before or since. Capable of generating destructive yields of terrifying potency, these plasma weapons had done much to blunt the Great Crusade's advance across the Telon Reach. The Emperor decreed that Gorro must be destroyed.The Kill Rig is a truly outrageous creation that could comfortably cost 40pts+ more than it does. Expect to see lots of them just as soon as players manage to paint the thing. Hunta Rig Lootas are who you come to if you want a lot of Dakka shots, with their deffguns becoming Dakka 3/2. That’s pretty much a straight upgrade, as it allows them to move and shoot without issue, and they’ll often get the top profile. The downsides are that they don’t have access to either the old version of More Dakka or a shoot twice effect any more, and now have to take a Spanner per 5 models.
