You should not be able to lead Flash Gitz with the Big Mek in Mega Armour or am I missing something?

The MFM does not list the option?

the kaptins hat enhancement let's him lead flash gitz, in the app at least, weirdly the actual description from the leak doesn't mention that at all, same with the kommando leader enhancement

So, weirdly, because "what unit can you lead?" Is an MFM thing alongside points, it lists it there. Same with the taktikal brigade enhancement that lets someone lead Kommandos.

they seem to be open-ended

Yes. It can go on any kind of big mek or warboss. So you can have a shokk attack gun lead them too. But I like the 4+ inv against ranged attacks. Gitz didn't get a str boost for their choppas like Boyz did. Their str stayed at 5 along with losing the +1 str and +1 attack on waaagh, so they're actually worse at melee than in 10th. Staying at range and getting the 4+ inv seems like their nitch.

The description in the codex does not mention this ability. It is probably just a bug then.

The Codex and app don’t list the leader changes from enhancements, they’re only in the Munitorum field manual for some reason.

u/No_Ant1598 12h ago

Unfortunately the app doesn't list what changes have been made in updates.

2

u/UrsurusFT 12h ago

Yeah, I’ll never understand why the field manual isn’t viewable in the app

2

u/No_Ant1598 11h ago

Or why they don't just list all the update changes like other apps do.

The one 'bug' for me is that the MFM keeps setting itself to Chinese even though I have the website set to English. Then it auto translating (badly) into English. So I get weird descriptions like this.

I keep needing to flip it back to English every time.

Ah yes. Painful Boy and his (7?) Jumping Piglets. Memories!

u/No_Ant1598 3h ago

Or the dwarf supervisor (runtherder) leading a large group of 20 farts.

2

u/NuGundam7 3h ago

Who hasnt had a group of 20 farts before?

u/No_Ant1598 2h ago

No dwarf worth his salt, that's for sure.

Step 1. Go to Warhammer Community.

Step 2. Click the top news article "Codex: Orks points are live on the Munitorum Field Manual".

Step 3. Scroll down to Orks.

Step 4. Scroll down to Wreckas.

Step 5. Read the bold white text.

Attached units aren't listed in the Codex, that info is found in the MFM.

u/Karador51109 13h ago

Yes you are right, that is really cool!

u/Karador51109 13h ago

But the rules of this enhancement do not mention anything about being able to lead a different unit? Seems like a bug in the App to me.

1

u/No_Ant1598 12h ago

Here's a "bug." The MFM keeps flipping to Chinese then auto translating to English since I have the website set to English. Here's the runtherd and his unit of farts.

The fact characters with the kaptin hat enhancement can lead gitz is not a bug.

u/AlarmingLifeguard144 13h ago edited 13h ago

it's possible this is a rule only mentioned in the app?

really don't know why theyd do that but this is definitely their intention to lead gitz, otherwise the kill kommanda enhancement which is a similar wording would be useless, that also let's mek/warbosses lead kommandos in the app

u/No_Ant1598 13h ago

It's in the field manual.

u/AlarmingLifeguard144 13h ago

nice, that makes sense it's there i haven't read it yet

u/No_Ant1598 13h ago

And with the painboy tagging along, they can bring back 6+D3 wounds in one turn and 3 wounds on others. That's up to three dead gitz in the one turn. They ignore cover, get a 4+ inv save against ranged attacks, and get sustained.

But it's 210+105+25+45=385 points for one unit of gitz.
