I like them but they...There's a learning curve. I like them but they have to hit the right target. Things that don't fight back are ideal. I had one destroy 3 leaman Russ battle tanks in one go. so many Power Klaw attacks against rear armour of a battle tank squadron. If it's out numbered it gets more attacks. But like Mega nobs never attack anything that will hurt you. Put some burna boys in there, it holds 3 models so 3 of them should be Meks. you have room for a big mek or just another burna or something like that. Keep what ever's in there cheap. Mine on bad day will last two turns at most on a good day all game. But they need cover and KFF Protection. Keep them moving and treat them like an ork, Ie assault at every opportunity.<br />If they are going to be assaulted, Maybe you planed to have it assaulted. Put it in terrain to let it strike first. This mostly works on things that loose initiative when charging into terrain. Like Space Marine Dreadnoughts. It's AV 13 front so lots of things will struggle with it for a turn or two. Just have a unit or two to help it so it doesn't get swamped or bogged down for too long. The most I've used is two in a game. But I own 4 of them. It doesn't have to do a bunch during a game so much as hang around and look menacing. Other players might try to avoid it thinking it is way meaner than it really is. So it's got that going for it. When I can I try for a joint assault wth it, it's base is so big it's not unreasonable to assault a squad and a vehicle. destroy the vehicle and tie up the unit. <br />About shooting with it. It's not overly good or bad. It's fun to roll it up but not fantastic. I like to have a 3 to 1 advantage so I shoot as much as I can to soften up targets before I assault. <br />An Orks gotta do what an Orks gatta do.warhead01https://www.blogger.com/profile/10490268064704462703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042328574097890685.post-34109360558775393422015-12-23T10:51:07.045-08:002015-12-23T10:51:07.045-08:00How do the Orknaughts work for you in your games. ...How do the Orknaughts work for you in your games.

This was some where between 1500 and 1850ish, I think. The Mission was Key to winning or loosing. When we do it again I will max out all my units. The Kans, shoota boys and bikers were not full strength. While all of his units were maxed size. The other thing I may not have mentioned about my army is that All the big meks counted as unit upgrades so the only characters I counted as Independent were the Warp head and My Mek boss, who was my warlord. this "restriction" felt balanced. More so because I didn't pay any points for them. I think I would have added another troop unit too. So it's on the list for next time.<br />Thanks for the comment!warhead01https://www.blogger.com/profile/10490268064704462703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042328574097890685.post-11005400847678079222015-12-15T02:00:40.637-08:002015-12-15T02:00:40.637-08:00Steve,
That looked like a fun game. Never though...Steve,<br /><br />That looked like a fun game. Never thought of AoS style list with no points. I will have to try that out sometime. I wanted to get a game in this month but that just does not look feasible. Have a Merry Christmas!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945232072561261441noreply@blogger.com
