Ish Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Battalion consisting of one Big Mek with KFF (from the Index), one Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun, and six squads of 30x Gretchin. Approximately 700 Points. You should be able to get three of these, with minor tweaks, into a Battle-Forged tourney legal army. 540 Grots! One quarter of a 6’ x 4’ table is approximately 864 square inches. A grot on a 25 mm base takes up approximately one square inch, assuming you allow a half inch between each grot, that’s 810 square inches... Leaving enough room for your six Orks. Have fun.

Can you fit them all in your deployment? Why not just take 2 Wierdboys? They are cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there's, like, terrain that takes up some of the space, but how often does that happen 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Depends on the deployment zones for the missions, but, all almost all six of the deployment maps for Matched Play in the BRB (p.216-17) have enough room... Provided you don’t have any wholly impassible terrain in the zone (and even if you do, you might also have some multi-story ruins to make up for it). Edited January 17, 2019 by Ish Almost. See below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Okay, so I took the time to do the mathematics. Because I love you people. Spearhead Assault is 936 square inches; Dawn of War is 864 square inches; Search and Destroy is 800 square inches; Hammer and Anvil is 1,152 square inches; Front-Line Assault is 756 square inches; and, Vanguard Strike is 832 square inches. Things get tight in Vanguard Strike and you can’t do it in Front-Line Assault... Unless there’s an appropriately tall ruin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 2 minutes ago, VonVilkee said: What is that in grots per deployment zone? 😇 Well, like I said earlier, a grot on a 25 mm base is approximately 1 square inch. But if you space them out about 1/2” to 1” apart, it’s basically 2 square inches per grot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 1 Grot per 2 Sq inches... 540 grots fit fine only in hammer and anvil. Otherwise it's a tight squeeze and you still have 6x inch and a half bases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yeah, but if you stack’em and rack’em like Mordians, it’s only one square inch per gretchin. So they’ll fit in every deployment zone, base to base to base to base to... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squads will cease to exist. The reverse is, they have las pistols but oddly hit on 3's if there are more than 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
