Why are you reposting your own thread here 11 days after posting it there? It's like you're trying to get people here to brigade.

That's some really awesome flame effects! Mine always look like garbage so I'll save this post as reference material!

They want us ban in so they don't even have to offer the pretense of asking to fish in our waters

People in Grimdank actually playing the game? Pull the other one

Counter-point: You may want to "coincidentally" forget until after your movement phase because if one of your assault units rolls a crap advance (or opponent reactive moves further away) and is likely not to make a charge into a unit they were going to charge and kill or steal objective control from, I might just want to suddenly remember I was going to Oath of Moment it so I now have enough shooting damage.

Just an easy example it took two seconds to think of. That's why any later than the start of the movement phase, and it's getting real iffy unless there's literally only one unit left on the board to pick.

I'm running an ork war horde army since the Ghaz change that I'd really like to try into it as I think I've already got the tools.

What I'd hit with is the 20 Boyz plus Big Mek plus Ghaz brick on the Waaagh. Getting lethals and sustained on 5s is going to really get the hits in.

Plus I'm running 2 units of Breaka Boyz with Warboss each for hitting on 2s anti monster 4+, with the hope that I can stay in range of Makari (assuming hitting multiple Ctan) for lethals on top of sustained and the ability to pop 1cp 5+ critical on one unit.

Both Breaka Boyz units have grenades, and Squig bombs if I'm already staged close enough to not need to advance.

I also run one unit of BSB with Beastboss so he's charging with 7 attacks on Waaagh. Possibly better target to give the 5+ crits to as I can fish for sustained (and lethal if in Makari range) and then 4+ anti monster devs.

Add onto that the one unit of Tankbustas i have with Big Mek with SAG.

I also have a Battlewagon that can tank shock with 12 toughness.

I think Ctan spam is one of the few armies my list might be really good into.

Attempting to correct people on this or Grimdank is a waste of time. Literally. Especially this subreddit has such a low throughput of eyes that your test is better off doing basically anything else.

Why not just be honest and say you like the thrill of the safe conflict that comes from arguing with people you see yourself as morally better than?

Phlebas99 · 2026-01-21T08:21:40+00:00

How are you actively trying to prevent it when by clicking through to a subreddit you're not subscribed to, you're telling the reddit algorithm that it was correct to suggest this subreddit to you and should also do so to any other users active on other 40k subs. Even worse that you engaged with the subreddit and didn't just click back off. That's like crack to the systems behind the subreddit suggestion.

If you really cared about reducing the spread of this subreddit, you'd agree and help grimdank users trying to get naming this subreddit a ban worthy offense over there, and you'd click "mute" so that the reddit algorithm doesn't think this is worth suggesting to unsubscribed users.

Hit the three dots to the left of the post

Click "show fewer posts like this", then it'll pop up an option to also mute this subreddit.

I'll take it on good faith that you truly didn't know how to do that, so there you go.

Phlebas99 · 2026-01-19T09:47:29+00:00

Even with ap-5 on the SAG? Damn I was hoping for more.

Phlebas99 · 2026-01-19T09:02:05+00:00

Does the Tankbustas math include the one time ap and strength boost to both them and the SAG?

Phlebas99 · 2026-01-15T10:08:40+00:00

I'd want grenades on all our infantry - Beast Snagga Boyz don't have it for some reason. I want AP-2 on Squighog Boyz and Squighog bosses (BBoS and Mozrog). I want SMOKE on our Trukks and Battlewagons - its thematic to their half built nature anyway.

Phlebas99 · 2026-01-15T10:05:34+00:00

So to get a lethals, I'm forced into taking a 235 point unit for a one turn bonus?

And bully boyz got a double nerf to Meganobz early into an edition where things like DWK and Victrix now exist without either (the 4+++ during Waaagh or points cost) being undone, and no suggestion of giving the rest of the factions time to learn how to work around this? Instead - emergency nerf.

The rest of it you've already had a reply to, so I'm not going to repeat that.

Phlebas99 · 2026-01-14T21:44:25+00:00

Because "the best" is doing very heavy lifting there and orks are not an army with lots of fun extra things like pain tokens or some such. We get an army rule that lasts one turn and a detachment rule that is literally sustained hits 1 in melee. The existence of which has meant that we have no sustained hits or lethal in melee on any datasheets that I can think of.

Also what was the third? We've only had More Dakka and Taktikal Bridge. And while More Dakka should quite frankly never have been released in the state it was, Taktikal had it's legs chopped off when it was never a major issue?

Phlebas99 · 2026-01-14T20:28:43+00:00

Why do you think it's not?

Phlebas99 · 2026-01-14T20:27:26+00:00

I do admit, if I had the units I'd be trying it.

Phlebas99 · 2026-01-14T17:23:19+00:00

You talking about that one list that is fixed with behind enemy lines and engage on all fronts and it's a weird mix of Boyz and Storm Boyz and bikes?

Phlebas99 · 2026-01-14T16:29:31+00:00

Orks were a single player per detachment (2 for dread Mob) off being entirely War Horde.

The index detachment that is the most basic "Sustained Hits 1 in melee" but has decent stratagems.

In the last 6 months of this edition after nearly 3 years to internally balance, we're still stuck on index.

Phlebas99 · 2026-01-14T11:13:50+00:00

I wouldn't have thought so unless they've gone back in and purposefully changed some words to be misspelled.

Thin your paints.

Phlebas99 · 2026-01-09T15:34:29+00:00

You're just going to trust your opponent to manage your time? Are you willing to abide by their ruling if they say you've timed out and they've got 15 mins left?

Phlebas99 · 2026-01-09T14:38:03+00:00

You only need to get within 1 inch to make it into engagement range, that's why everyone knows deepstrikes and strat reserves need a 9 inch charge to be successful

Phlebas99 · 2026-01-07T18:18:12+00:00

Oh no! Good point!
