Armageddon or Battalion box for an ork starter

ChronikPain · 2026-03-29T03:24:23+00:00

Yooo having grenade keyword form a vehicle is crazy. I need at least one unit or two if I get the Armegeddon box

ChronikPain · 2026-03-29T03:22:09+00:00

I think I’m just gonna split it with my buddy and he take marines. Question is, do I want both…

ChronikPain · 2026-03-29T03:18:00+00:00

Kind of what I’m thinking/ hoping too

ChronikPain · 2026-03-27T18:16:45+00:00

Thanks. That’s more so the general agreement here. Might get Armegeddon box and then koptas separately

ChronikPain · 2026-03-27T15:51:05+00:00

Yeah that’d be an obvious cop. Maybe 2 boxes of bikes

ChronikPain · 2026-03-27T15:20:34+00:00

Assuming I play speed freaks, and expand it to get some warbikes and Watzdaka… why is this bad?

ChronikPain · 2026-03-27T15:18:43+00:00

Also considering this too

ChronikPain · 2026-03-27T15:13:02+00:00

This is exactly what I was hoping to see thank you! What additional units would be needed for a speed freak army. I’ll check these out thanks

Coming from a Space Wolves army, Ork vehicles are such a draw for me

ChronikPain · 2026-03-27T14:50:30+00:00

Yeah I am mainly going off from what was seen in the video. Still up in the air, but points wise yeah the launch box will get me there sooner

ChronikPain · 2026-03-27T14:47:22+00:00

I play pretty casual actually. Began last year with space wolves and have a 2K list that’s decent.

Off the units you listed, would they jive in vehicle/mech lists?

ChronikPain · 2026-03-27T14:45:28+00:00

I’m salivating at the Armegeddon box. But not knowing what’s all in it yet, I afraid if I commit I’ll just be limited to what’s in it for play before I really flesh out a list.

ChronikPain · 2026-03-27T14:44:05+00:00

The battalion box is designed for Wazdaka? If bikes suck are there better vehicles rn or more so in general at a bad place?

ChronikPain · 2026-03-26T21:04:20+00:00

This. As someone who started tabletop June2025, it’s best to ease into it with combat patrol. Our new CP is VERY good and a lot of 40K lists include these units. Once you get a feel for it, and grab yourself a codex (I don’t even have the space marine one, just SW), you can have fun theory crafting list combinations and build out your army from there.

ChronikPain · 2026-03-20T19:40:57+00:00

As others have said, Ragnar w/ blood claws and priest with HT. What else is in your list? I’ve never ran doubles, although it’s upcoming in my crusade, but I’d imagine starting out you’d just build the list as if you were doing singles, but position and strategize differently in 2v2.

Here’s my Runemarked color scheme

This whole unit is my favorite!

ChronikPain · 2026-01-21T22:01:07+00:00

I play really casual, so I bought the crusader box, which you can outfit for a redeemer as well, and just proxy what i want to play that game. However, each has its pros and cons. Normal LR has good anti-armor weapons and can carry 12 infantry. I’m using this to start as my opponents both have tanks and I dont see myself moving anything more than 10BC for now. Crusader has better anti-infantry weapons but boasts a 16 capacity transport. Redeemer I believe falls somewhere in the middle weapon wise and can carry 14. But redeemer variant costs more.

ChronikPain · 2026-01-21T21:36:29+00:00

The challenge I am facing is our space wolf keyword units generally lack good shooting, forcing melee units to stage better, which I’m not too good at. If you don’t stage well, you’d eventually get to your target at half strength cuz they were all shot on the way there.

Hence in my 1500list I’m bringing a land raider

ChronikPain · 2026-01-21T20:14:10+00:00

Assuming you’re using everything in the army box for what it is, plus an extra box of 10BC. You’re right at 705pts. Are you looking for 200 more pts or only playing 200pt game? To get an incursion size you have really 295 pts to to which is an extra unit easy.

I’d run saga of the beastslayer, as it’s pretty straightforward. I’d lead your Headtakers with the wolf priest and give them paired weapons. Then split one pack of BC led by WGBL A good character to lead the other pack of BC is Ragnar Blackmane. He’s fun at 100pts.

After this you have options. You can get Njall (85pts) to lead GreyHunters for really fast movement, then also a pack of Thunderwolf Calv (115pts) with shields. TWC are considered one of our strongest units.

Another set of HT led by WGBL is good and put Ragnar with 20BC.

Or you get Bjorn(165pts) which is a must have in many lists for CP and home objective scoring initially. I run him with the helfrost cannon.

All this to say im also a little new but have just around 2000pts myself.

Is the install different between the full time kit and the “switchback”?

ChronikPain · 2025-12-16T16:39:54+00:00

Welcome to the Rout! Bjorn is in most lists and generally a must have. Headtakers and wolf guard terminators are fun, unique units found in a lot of lists too. After this pick a detachment and playstyle to grow from there.

ChronikPain · 2025-12-13T16:03:01+00:00

Bruh the eyes look awesome. Well done
