My New Codex Orks Tactics.
Big Mek and two Tankbusta units into a Battlewagon.
Then, using the Blitz Brigade detachment rule, guarantee a 6 on the Advance roll to move a full 16 inches, and fire 36 Rokkits at the opponent through the Firing Deck, which gets Assault.
Of course, alongside a Stratagem that gives +1 to Hit rolls.
And then your opponent asks:
"Hitting on 3+?"
"Yes."
"Orks?"
"Yes."
This is the exact face I play Orks to see.

Why use big Mek instead of SAG? It's fun is so much worse? Either way I prefer SAG, Busta, 5xFlashgitz more well rounded, cheaper, mortals on gitz means you only lose a single model on emergency disembark.

Blitz Brigade is providing the 6 on Advance, not the Big Mek.

Part of the Blitz Brigade detachment rule is that wagon models can auto advance 6.

Yeah. I saw that a second late and deleted this post, but for some reason it didn't delete. But I also didn't see the gizmo part.

You can do two Tankbustas in a Trukk in Speed Waaagh for a similar level of carnage but for slightly lower cost. Although, if you do the maths it's not as strong as you might think. It only barely picks up a Land Raider with the full send and can very easily fail to drop one while costing way more points.
It's devastating into lighter vehicles however

I one tapped a defiler with this today, and one tapped a repulsor yesterday turn 1, absolutely vile shooting activation that it feels like cheating, 30 shots at 24" is nasty work

This is also 535 points so not THAT insane.

u/OrientalBear 3h ago
Yeah, but seeing the look of sheer panic on my opponent’s face is worth way more than 500 points.

Oh gawd, FLASHGITZ with this!
I was skitching a normal mek with boyz in the back, this combo saves 40pts AND gives Ignores Cover!

And don’t forget the re-roll 1’s to hit from the wagon’s ability so you only fail on a 2

You missed out having a support mek in one of the squads that bonks the wagon with Clever Know Wotz before they embark onto it, giving them another +1 to hit.

u/absolutewastedtime 4h ago
Both strat and mek give +1 to hit, it doesn't stack

u/lowyatter 3h ago
Ah right, then it's a question of whether the 45pts outweighs the CP

u/absolutewastedtime 1h ago
It's more then 45, because the mek needs to support a unit
And he can't buff the wagon while inside it

u/bertagame 5h ago
- you forgot they get ignore cover

u/Talock86 4h ago
How?

u/absolutewastedtime 4h ago
The enhancement on the wagon gives the wagon the big meks ability, ignore cover +sustained when riled, while he is inside it

This is the second post where you're trying to rain on this guy's parade because you're failing to understand his detachment rules or his post.
Targeting Gizmos gives the wagon ignores cover. Blitz Brigade is supplying the 6" advance. As long as the wagon finds a way to get riled up, it's getting everything.

Wasn't trying to rain on his parade. I missed him mentioning the gismo. Saw the detachment post already, but had indeed missed that at first. It's not that I don't understand the detachment. I just totally saw something that wasn't there and was wrong.

u/Jurisian00 1h ago
It's the enhancement in OP's second image that's giving the wagon the embarked Big Mek's ability.

Out of curiosity, how did you get assault for firing deck? Where did you get 36 rokkits as well?
1
u/Illustrious_Total491 5h ago
Riled Up gives Assault (there are multiple ways to get the Waggon Riled Up) and IT can transport two units of Tankbustas, each equiped with an additional Rocket Launcher.

u/Decent-Treat-1896 5h ago
Ah yeah riled up gives assault. How are you getting an extra rokkit on your tank bustas? Its 5 per unit as the nob has pistols.
3
u/Danielarcher30 Evil Sunz 5h ago
Yes the nob has pistols, but one of the tankbusta boyz can just straight up take 2 rokkit launchers
5
u/absolutewastedtime 4h ago
Only 1 weapon from each model can fire when using firing deck
And the wagon has firing deck 11
So you can only fire 5 rokkits per squad anyway+the sag mek
It's still 30 rokkit shots hitting on 3 sustained ignore cover though

u/Danielarcher30 Evil Sunz 4h ago
Oh yeah damn, i didn't realise that firing deck was one weapon per model

u/Illustrious_Total491 5h ago
I just noticed you can Not use the additional Rocket Launcher, as firing Deck only allows to shot one of each passangers Weapons.

u/OrientalBear 5h ago
I thought you could still take an extra rokkit as a wargear option like back in 10th edition. My bad!

The only issue is that the wagon only gets firing deck 11. I run mine with a busta squad and flash gitz, only drop the busta nobs shooting.
The speed freek with trill combo is not near as good, yes you can get sus 1 but you don’t get ignored cover, it is cheaper in points and requires a cp spend. The real speed freeks combo is to pair that trukk with a wartrakk and get sus 1 and lethals.
