some problems with ork waaags.....

[Zemox]

when an orc army waaaags they get to move a little further right?
if this is true how do u avoid it since if the orcs charge u then ure screwed.

could anyone inform me abit more abaut this thing?

[skjoldr]

I think waagh gives an extra d6" on top of run, and they can furious charge.

So thats move 6", run d6", waagh d6", and then charge 6" at +1 S and I.

They can only use it once per game unless it's the "Da green tide" apoc formation, which can waagh every turn.

Drop lots of boomfex blasts on them before they get close enough.

Meet their charge with feeder tendril'd stealers. if the stealers run away, lock the orks up with rippers or something tar-pitish until the stealers regroup and charge back.

Boomfex shots instant death I think almost all their models, so take lots and lots of them.

[omnivore]

Waagh gives the orks fleet for a turn so their run becomes fleet, thus allowing them to assault.

[skjoldr]

It doesn't give them furious charge?

[kanageddaamen]

Orks always have furious charge.

[skjoldr]

ok then. Just making sure I had that part down.

WAAAGH gives them fleet for 1 turn

You may only fleet OR Run. You can't do both.

Take Boomfexs or Gunfexs. Its over for them

[skjoldr]

Don't you mean fleet let's them assault after running?

so move 6, run d6, waagh to get fleet, then assaut 6?

[sooch[TVTP]]

Fleet:

Move 6, fleet d6, assault 6

Run:

Move 6, run d6

You may fleet OR run, but not both.

[Aux]

WAAAGH does not add to run

You either RUN or FLEET. Pick one. FLEET LETS YOU ASSUALT, RUN DOES NOT

ended...

[romorini]

Now that we've established that a Waaagh-ing ork is able to move like a genestealer for one turn, you deal with it by denying him as many charges as you can. This can be done through being faster than him (Hormigaunts, Raveners, Leaping Warriors, and anything with wings), or sneakier, through the flanking rule. All things being equal, Orks can beat tyranids in a fist fight, which is why you need to tip the scales in your favor. The number one things is to beware the hidden power claw and pre-empt his assault. The specifics of these tasks will vary by the army composition of both sides

[coredump]

I think waagh gives an extra d6" on top of run,

No.

Waagh gives the orks fleet for a turn so their run becomes fleet,

Not quite

You may only fleet OR Run. You can't do both.

Nope

You may fleet OR run, but not both.

Nope.

You either RUN or FLEET. Pick one. FLEET LETS YOU ASSUALT, RUN DOES NOT

Again... Nope. Aux, didn't we talk about how silly you look when you use ALL CAPS...AND ARE WRONG...

so move 6, run d6, waagh to get fleet, then assaut 6?

Oh.. we have a winner...!!


I love when people will argue about a rule, even correct others, but never bother to actually read the rule to make sure they have it right.


Waagh gives Fleet to Ork infantry for a turn.

Fleet lets you assault after you Run.

Fleet does *not* let you move d6.

You do *not* choose between Run and Fleet. In fact, you can only Fleet if you *have* Run already.

[Zemox]

kk alesso cavatore the editor of the rule says "units that have fleet can assault in the assault phase units that only have run cannot as simple as that".

What is a Boomfex?
