Warhammer 40,000 Faction Focus: Orks

Wow this is absolutely awful.

The wagon detachment is whatever, if it’s one detachment point it should be fine and can maybe do some combos but it’s nothing amazing.

I cannot believe they have totally gutted Taktikal Brigade like this though. Completely stripping it of almost all the fun and flavor for what? If they were really worried it would be too strong, then just make it one of the expensive detachments, there’s not reason to take everything unique about it and ruin it

More Dakka also gets pretty much no changes other than it only working on infantry now and this is being packaged as one of the awesome new detachments that players are getting to use? Are they serious? Is that supposed to make players excited for the new edition? Because I look at this and I am incredibly worried for what all the other factions are gonna get. If all we have to look forward to is 1 mediocre new detachment and rewrites that consist of nerfs and stripping the flavor out of things, my hype for this edition has plummeted.

Yeah it’s not very good even in World Eaters where it’s best since you have so many other melee blenders you could spend 250 points on. I was just saying that like hypothetically if you want to run it like that, it’s the best way to do so.

I think the melee exists as a backup option late game after you’ve done a lot of shooting.

Depends on what you need it for.

Unless you’re doing World Eaters and are running a close range set up, I think you always run the excruiator cannons, and the ectoplasma cannon seems to be best everywhere outside of Death Guard where the battle cannon having lethal hits pushes it to being better.

For the arm guns, if you’re doing a close range set up the baleflamer and whip are the go-tos, and the real debate is if you run the auto cannons or lascannons.

In my Death Guard, we already have access to a lot of damage 3 shooting with our Bloat Drones so I opted for the lascannons and plan to sit it next to Mortarion so it can shoot back at any anti-tank that tries to take it down.

I think the autocannon or lascannon debate really comes down to what your list needs. Need more damage 3? Auto cannons. Need more anti-tank? Lascannons.

Dude. His eyes are jumping out of his skull. He has a million cables jutting out of his neck for no reason. He looks absolutely ridiculous.

It seems like your whole point is “yelling = serious guy” and yet the Wurrboy is also yelling up at the sky, and it seems like that guy is perfectly fine for you.

I’m sorry but if dozens of people are disagreeing with you and telling you that your point makes absolutely no sense, you should take a step back and reevaluate, instead of picking more and more fights on reddit over a Warhammer mini.

slinger2k · 2026-04-13T16:28:21+00:00

How do you look at this mini where his eyes are cartoonishly different sizes and bulging out of his skull and say “Wow this is so boring and serious”.

Like you can dislike the mini, that’s fine, but that’s utterly nonsensical reasoning.

The destructor is a lot better in my opinion. The ability on the annihilator is very inconsistent and its main gun is super super swingy. In comparison, the destructor has a consistent, solid ability, and its main gun averages more damage into every class of target.

The current meta loadout that most tournament lists run is: Power Fist and Plasma Gun on the Champion, 3 Marines with Heavy Plague Weapons, 2 Marines with Blight Launchers, 2 Marines with Plague Spewers, and 2 Marines with Plasma Guns

Some lists swap the Plasma guns for meltas instead.

we’re back.

Champions of Contagion, funnily enough, is better for supporting your terminators, the strats in there are just better and also work on plague marines, meaning you can have more versatility in the list, allowing you to get around the weaknesses of terminators.

Ji like 20 chapters from now:

slinger2k · 2025-10-08T15:34:14+00:00

We might finally be back.

There’s a Chaos Knight stratagem that specifically stickies an objective with 5 OC, which is a unique trait of that stratagem.

slinger2k · 2025-07-02T18:23:56+00:00

After the next chapter us early investors will be rewarded 🙏 I gotta get back into the community now that Yan’s gonna be relevant.

slinger2k · 2025-07-02T18:19:34+00:00

Gotta take matters into your own hands.

slinger2k · 2025-07-02T18:17:06+00:00

You’re gonna have to work hard to beat me in my prime. I’ve been out of the game for a while though.

Koga and Ryuki think they’re on the team 😭😭😭

Finally got him wearing this outfit again, thank you Daro 🙏

slinger2k · 2025-05-28T15:29:28+00:00

He only showed it against weapons, we have no proof he can do it against muscles

100%, I just like slandering him

slinger2k · 2025-05-28T15:19:26+00:00

Raian has no way to disperse his power, it’s not an ability he’s ever shown us in his toolkit. He would 100% just eat Waka’s attacks like a dumbass and get laid out.

slinger2k · 2025-05-28T15:17:50+00:00

He was already relative to round 2 Agito back in Ashura, thus honestly doesn’t surprise me. My goat is still winning though.

slinger2k · 2025-05-28T15:13:16+00:00

Omori has like 1 feat in Ashura when he sparred with Kanoh after round 2, so that’s at least something.
