    1. I base this assumption on DA and their dakkabanner. It counts Hurricane Bolters as three TL-Bolters so each gets salvo 2/4. Raptors Chapter Tactics has almost same wording so it should work too.

      (Yeah because gravcents really needed more firepower)

  1. Thanks for looking at the list guys.

    The weird boyz go with the grots, the grots basically are just there to die for summoning wounds. Weirdboyz last a max of two turns…but if even two daemon units get summoned, they made back their points. (And if one turns into tuska (bloodthirster), gonna be a fun time!

    Each gork has a mek + either the flash gitz, burna, or tankbustas. The meks are in there to run some repairs if necessary (if it doesn’t just explode).

    Something fun I found out yesterday…technically you can disembark from the gork while it’s in assault? Still checking up on that.

    It’s definitely a fun list…basically throwing the ork codex at you as a kitchen sink. I imagine target priority will be an issue for some people, as there is a lot of random stuff in there! (shoot the big things) will probably be the default go to!

  2. forgot to tell you guys i’m kind of an amazing tattoo artist. never done a 40k tattoo Frankie…

    butanyway!

    you guys should have a conversion contest! we’ve all seen so many cool imaginative amazing conversions, why is there no contest for us kitbashers and toycutters?!

    do it!

    see you at the LVO
