A buddy of mine runs an army he calls 99 grots. It’s a surprisingly powerful army before the changes. I’m excited to see how he uses these buffs with his build
This'll defintely give Orks a good boost but I would say like 75% of our problems are data sheet and army rule related. We can get waited out of the Waagh and counterpunched bc you cant just declare it in any command phase, then we have no army rule for 4/5 rounds. Orks are great at denying via clogging the board but are still tissue thin tough, we have no real str, AP or serious bite outside of the Waagh. Zog forbid we run into anything with double digit str weapons or toughness. If we cant have volume of dakka, WS, high ap or damage, we need boatloads of keywords to make the gambles of 5+ worth it. Most of our swingy, gambling destruction units are locked in legends and it hurts.
Agreed. Sure, the points decreases are nice and being able to fit an extra unit or two and some enhancements into a list is great, but points changes aren't fixing a lot of the core issues hurting the army right now.
You nailed it. We get an army rule for 1, maybe 2 battle rounds in a specific detachment, and can just be denied it if we go second. Feels like we're less reliable World Eaters.
I already run them from time o time and they do very well, as most people do not see them coming, when playing against orcs. The update gives the list around 50 or 60 extra points, so not bad here!
@@Silverdragon83X Nobody expects the orks to whip out their own knight equivalent that’s for sure 😂 big vs someone bringing mostly anti-horde as other players often do vs Ork players
Really love the changes to orks here. Now I'm just hoping that the Beast Snagga and Speed Freak detachments get some improvements, especially the former.
As a kult of speed player, it was... well, plus 60 points to blow on stuff, so that's either an extra 3 bikes, or a 5 squad of lootas, one model of mek gunz, and maybe an ehnacment for a biker boss. It's... pretty small scale, most of the fights I lose are against vehicles, and this really won't do much of anything to help cept maybe that extra mek gunz, but not nearly enough to help since those fights tend to be a bit more one sided than that's going to help with. But ya, they need rules/stat changes more than point changes. For others orks, might try meganobz again in a bit to see how that helps, but still doubt it'll be enough. For my planned but yet to finish or have tried dread mob list, it'd be I think 90 points back. An extra 20 grotz sounds good, or maybe even some stormboyz, that list could probably use some. Beast snagga, just never really liked their models and idea as much, so aint touched them, and probably still wont.
easy now, Orks where at 42%, this will help sure, but it will not take them over 50%, more likely it will put them around 47-48%, witch is also fine. Orks still have a big problem in an army ability only for 20% of the game, and the thoughness of wet paper.
Undoing the nerfs to green tide and changing the waaagh to start of any turn would really help. Or brining back the 9E waaagh that lasted for two turns.
That's one of my big reason to play bully boyz, 40% is slighlty better though it still forces you to make all your meaningful moves at the same time (with having to contend with vulnerability during the setup and a painful aftermath if you don't get the lethality you expected)
My initial reaction is I am quite pleased. I definitely need to look over the point changes and rule updates before I can say for sure. I'm still working on updating my army lists. I should definitely be able to field more Orkz.
Right there with you on buggies and KoS. I really want to see some changes to make them more competitive. I wouldn't be opposed to some sort of improvement with Careen so it would be better at eliminating things when destroyed. That would be very on brand
Kult of Speed is great fun to play until you run into something it simply doesn't have the tools to kill. I had one notable game against Necrons where Trazyn was in the mid-board with a couple of units- his AP debuff made most of the buggy shooting simply bounce off them, generally not doing enough to get past Reanimation, and when I switched targets to him I shot some 1000 points at him and he barely noticed. A +1 hit bonus at under 12" range might be a nice boost to them, it gives them further encouragement to get close and more damage when they do.
Yeah, that's honestly probably pretty scary. Beastboss with Snagga Boyz can do some silly amounts of damage. The only problem is that you're just SO much better off doing that with War Horde to give your Beast Boss Sustained Hits and, if running Ghaz, also Lethal Hits while critting on a 5+.
Very welcome updates with many steps in the right direction. I think youre right with the need for rules sheet changes for Cult of speed. Especially since Speed Freeks was so popular and will be bringing in people to a lesser degree than SM2.
I shelfed my orks when the codex came out. Just got around to buying it. I am 3-0 so far with them. When you're wounding the great unlean one on a 2, you're doing something right.
The fact that they didn't reverse the completely unnecessary change to green tide is enough for me to just shelve them for now. Also their refusal to appropriately point the stompa is just insulting.
Dude I'm right there with you, looking at this massive amount of units I have on my table and then hearing how Orks kind of suck and kind of regretting my choice. Should have gone space wolves
Just waiting for a bit more love for Kult of Speed but the points cuts and Warboss getting FAQ'd to work like he should is great. No points for GW for the latter since it was a bad take to say it was intentional. I don't think it's necessarily bad that buggies could be made good in Kult of Speed or at least keep the buffs reasonable. I really don't want a replay of 9th which led to us suffering now for how nasty the Speed WAAAAAAGH!!! was.
It's a good thing that they didn't touch most KoS units' points. Making buggies cheap doesn't help them. Hopefully they'll get some attention in the December/January rules update - Buff the detachment rule, buff their abilities, buff their shooting, then by all means *increase* their points.
Orks have to be the most up and down faction in 40k. They go from strong to weak and back again more than anyone else....maybe the only faction where their meta is also fluffy.
Love the changes but I was literally just saying how the Cult of Speed need a real change for them to be viable. I use the buggies and stuff cause they're fun, but against the competitive players, yeah no.
Im glad they reverted the points nerf for MANz That was an INSANE price hyke while also dropping their once-per-game FNP, rendering them utter garbage outside of bullyboyz and just "decent" in bullyboyz for that price. They dont hit remotely hard enough to justify that high a price.
Orks is one army i was about start. But felt for the necrons looks. Should i as a beginner switch to orcs or should I have 2 army's of orks and necrons ?
Maybe I’m missing on the way people play these games. If a unit is good only in a certain area but are supported by other units that protect them or confuse the enemy. Why isn’t this a topic of these units? Does no one know the sacrifice play or a pincer movement???
I had a fun idea for a new rule for Orks: That an Ork unit with matching predominant colors gains one of the following bonuses, as per the lore Orks lore about them: 🔴Bonuses to all Movement related actions. 🟡All their DAKKA shoots more bullets and hits (slightly) more accurately. ⚫️Units of this color are tougher, either through flat bonuses to stats and/or through improvements to their survivability related rolls. ⚪️All their CHOPPA and DAKKA hits harder. 🔵Bonuses to various rolls, especially ones that pertain to Stratagems and Psychic Powers. 🟣Bonuses to Cover and stealth related actions 🟢Units and their gear are all slightly cheaper, and receive smaller but more widespread buffs when compared to the more focused ones of the other colors
@@markberghel275 Simple fix… Just give them BIG war banners as wargear that confer those bonuses as an aura depending on their color. It would be mostly the same idea but more practical, AND you would have the benefit of allowing different auras to be able to overlap (at the risk of all those bunched up units being destroyed by focused AOE munitions and powers of course.)
@@sumsarprat If you can't charge out of a trukk and and shooters in the trukk still count as moving then its not useful. Anyone disembarking is either a sitting duck or you waste time having to charge out of cover.
