    So the Dominion Box set pre order date is going to be revealed soon, I am wondering who would like to split the box with me? I want the Kruleboyz from the box (and preferably the rule book as well)

    I live in Portland so would need to be someone in the area.

    No ork artillery should be brought in those kind of numbers, with maybe the exception of a hopsplat or squig chucker.

    This is exactly what I mean.  The only thing that should have redundancy in an ork army are boyz. 

    That being said allow me to trot out my dredmob of 9 Killybots.

    I disagree with that. You dont take 1 buggy, you take 6. You dont take 1 Kommando unit, you take 3. Orks do not have any sort of staying power otherwise

     

    I am not taking 8 Grot Tanks, I am taking 24 ^ ^

    Hitting on 4’s would be a 50% hit rate. Which is the definition of “average” shooting and not the poor accuracy Orks and Gretchen are said to have in the fluff... But, okay, fine. Grots are slightly better shots than Orks and da boss puts the ones with the best aim on the gun...

    Hitting on 4’s with re-rolling 1’s and an extra attack on 6’s is a 75% hit rate. That’s borderline Vindicare Assassin levels of accurate shooting.

    75% hit rate? No, I will dispute that math because we still have to roll the new attack which means it has about a 60% chance or so of being a success and we also have to roll a 6 on d3 shots so already it is not a guarantee. I have used them enough (never taken 14 though). 

    This is how orks play, everything is stupid levels of redundancy. We die FAR too easily otherwise.

    And re-roll 1s, and get extra shots on 6s. 14 smasha gunz average about 18 hits per turn. 

    Seriously, try the list sometime. There's a player in our area who (luckily) can only attend 1 out of 3 tourneys with the list. He has never not tabled his opponent AFAIK Consistently scoring 90+ points every game.

    You have to take very specific lists to be able to counter it. Most factions don't have access to those types of lists.

     

    If someone is bringing 14 smasha gunz they mean business and if you are getting smashed by them (pun intended) then terrain density might need to be looked at. They need LoS and if you are playing on planet bowling ball then yes, they will dominate.

    I'm fine with T5 boyz as long as they nerf the hell out of mek gunz. There is nothing less fun than facing 14 dirt cheap, very accurate, incredibly powerful, single unit despite being 6 for 1 HS slot "vehicles" with very long range. There are very few armies that have any sort of response to a skew list like that. A list that just so happens to also have 90 boyz which mostly don't need to do anything other than camp objectives because the opponent is being tabled by the firebase alone.

    Bringing those from 3 for 1 to 6 for 1 was a horrible, horrible decision on GW's part.

    "Very Accurate".... we hit on 4's....

    I’m a returning hobbyist looking to get in my first 40k game in over 10 years! I’ve got 1000 pts of Drukhari/dark Eldar, though it’s not all painted. Would I be able to find a game or 2?

    I’ve been looking to learn 40k. There’s loaner armies you can use. If you’re willing to work through learning the rules while playing I would be up to playing a game. 

    I should be showing up. If so I can teach you both how to play. 

    I can either play either of you or you can play against each other and I can teach you the basic rules and answer questions
