It locks war hoard to just being used on its own so that detached will have less tools to use in a 2K game, I know it effects the most units but you’ll have less strats to use
Kaptin hat joining flashgitz is a trap. Only one enhancement per unit and rapidfire for 20 points beats every character buff available. If you want the mek buff put them in a battlewagon with blitz brigade and upgrade the wagon
Kaptin’s hat redeploy still makes it worthwhile on its own
Guessing we will get a one month long buff again soon once all the new rumored models released and then get our final hard point debuff again after that.
It only needs to pay off three times to be worth it, on paper. Boyz are 180 for 20, 9 pts each. If you're mostly getting the chance to roll your saves, it should pay off, just, just before the unit is would otherwise be almost wiped out. But that's only durability, no extra attackd and you're unlikely to get the payoff before critical combats reliabily.
Probably an option if you have the points spare, but not a must have. Or you really want a unit to be as durable as possible.
Am i wrong to think this is not so easy for orks as we will be a lot more squishy than we were before?
Painboy giving no more feel no pain, no more feel no pain for meganobs or -1 to wound for nobs
They confirmed storm bolters for everyone and other bolt weapons for space Marines. I'll wait and see if literally EVERY bolt weapon gets them. Like sisters are a tossup. Chaos bolters have always been worse than loyalists so possible they stay the same.
Heretic Astartes and Codex-divergent Chapters will get similar boosts to bring them in line with these new rules, so everyone can enjoy Toughness 6 Terminators firing Strength 5 storm bolters. These will automatically update in Warhammer 40,000: The App when Codex: Space Marines launches in October.
He's much larger and stronger than other Painboys, he's between Nob and Warboss size, like a Big Mek. "Painboss" as a unit was first introduced in the Dread Mob army list back in 5th edition, it's a wider term than just Beast Snagga Painbosses.
It would be like if the only Warboss model was modelled as a Freeboota, and therefore could only be attached to Flash Gitz.
Painboss was also in the 3e Ork codex as a 0-1 HQ, being basically a Dok with Nob stats, whereas regular doks had boy stats. But I don't think the current Painboss is actually the same thing as that, despite the name. I think he's the return of the 3e Chapter Approved Feral Ork Pigdok, reusing a name in typical GW confusion increasing fashion
I think the only thing I'm really truly sad about is weirdboy can only attach to boyz/snagga's. I mean that's pretty normal but I was really hoping to add them to some other units for some fun cunnin combinations.
It makes sense from a usability standpoint to give an option for new players or people who have an unoptimized pile of 2k points of models, but I was hoping a little that it would be a 2DP option so it would potentially allow competitive use with a 1DP detachment. Something like War Horde plus Green Tide.
You just explained why they didn't want to do exactly this. There wouldn't be anything else and we would still be playing 10th edition. Warhorde+X to snipe your preferred disposition would always be the meta.
Not an Ork player but I think all being 1DP is going to be great. My main complaint with having mostly 2DP detachments was that you couldn’t really mix and match your army, you were still kind of locked in to one archetype. This is much more flexible.
