This clash between Big Mek Nuzgott’s Wrecka Krews and Major Junati-Varn’s motley force sounds like the ultimate showdown of brute force versus scrappy resourcefulness. The Ratlings and their abhuman comrades bring a lot of character to the defense of Castella Portis, and it’s clear they’ll need every ounce of cunning to hold the line against the Orks’ unrelenting onslaught.
Key Features of the Ratling Kill Team
- Sneaky Survivors
- Scarper: The ability to Dash away from incoming attacks adds a layer of mobility and survivability that perfectly matches the Ratlings’ lore as sneaky, agile sharpshooters.
- Sneaks and Specialists: While Sneaks offer pinpoint suppression with their Silent rifles, the inclusion of specialists like the Big Shot and Ratling Bomber provides tactical options for both offense and area denial.
- Purloined Rations
Ratlings never miss a meal, and it’s awesome that their ability to “steady their hands” ties their resilience and morale to their voracious appetites. It’s both thematic and effective for snipers who rely on consistent accuracy under pressure.
- Ogryn and Bullgryn Backup
Ratlings paired with Ogryns is a brilliant blend of “brains and brawn.” While the Ogryns bludgeon foes in melee or absorb incoming fire, Ratlings stay at a distance, delivering precise shots. The synergy between these units makes for a unique playstyle that balances brute strength with ranged finesse. - Strategic and Tactical Ploys
These ploys sound like they’ll emphasize hit-and-run tactics, controlling the battlefield, and capitalizing on ranged supremacy. Combined with their defensive capabilities, it’s clear the Ratlings are designed for a war of attrition—picking off enemies while staying one step ahead.
Big Mek Nuzgott and the Wrecka Krews
On the other side, the Wrecka Krews represent classic Ork gameplay—brutal, direct, and hilariously chaotic. The clash of styles here is perfect for Kill Team. The Wreckas’ explosive weaponry and ability to punch through terrain seem tailor-made to overwhelm Ratling snipers. It’s a test of whether precision and planning can overcome raw aggression and unpredictability.
Are you leaning towards rooting for the scrappy defenders of Hive Fissilicus, or are you more drawn to the green tide of mayhem that Big Mek Nuzgott promises to bring? Either way, this sounds like a matchup full of cinematic drama and fun tactical possibilities!
