In the latest edition of Warhammer 40,000, the Orks have shed the strict fighting styles of their clans in favor of more flexible and anarchic battle plans. The six Detachments found in Codex: Orks reflect this change, focusing on the units used rather than clan affiliations.
One iconic Detachment is the War Horde, formerly known as the Waaagh! Tribe. It allows players to field diverse groups such as Beast Snagga hunting parties or Deff Dread-heavy Mek mobs. However, no Ork army would be complete without its Green Tide of Boyz. This Detachment emphasizes overwhelming opponents with sheer numbers, capitalizing on the resilience and ferocity of Ork mobs.
The Green Tide Detachment encourages players to field large units of Boyz, offering enhancements and stratagems to boost their effectiveness. For example, the Ferocious Show Off Enhancement triples its strength boost when in a crowd, while the Bulldozer Brutality Stratagem ensures all models get a chance in close combat.
Keeping the Boyz topped up is crucial, and the Come On, Ladz! Stratagem allows for rapid regeneration, especially when accompanied by a Painboy for maximum durability.
For players who prefer Orky ingenuity over sheer numbers, the Dread Mob Detachment is ideal. Led by a Big Mek, this Detachment focuses on Deff Dreads, Killa Kans, and Mek-led ladz. The Try Dat Button! Stratagem adds a random element to their abilities, offering both risks and rewards for experimentation.
The Bigger Shells for Bigger Gitz Stratagem exemplifies the Ork penchant for explosive tactics, allowing Killa Kans to take down formidable foes before going out in a blaze of glory.
With each Detachment offering unique and bonkers rules, Codex: Orks promises a wild ride for players seeking to unleash the full might of the Waaagh!
