Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Ork Rukkatrukk Squigbuggy

Product Information

Army special rules for fielding an Orks list, with rules for seven Clan Kulturs, the Ork subfactions

Now let's assembly the prepared parts. So far we have quite a good impression of the size of the buggy. Needless to say, these creatures not only make for excellent ammunition, but they are also dropped by the crew as living landmines, and are favourite props when it comes to Greenskin practical jokes. Nothing provokes greater amusement amongst a Rukkatrukk crew than hiding a Boom Squig under their driver's seat, though this can prove inconvenient for everyone if it happens to trigger while the buggy is in full motion. Teams events usually score their games differentially on a 20-0 system, and which team triumphs in a match is determined by the total score on each side. That means that two things become more important – winning games you’re at an advantage in overwhelmingly to get maximum points, and grinding games you’re at a disadvantage in to a narrow defeat to salvage some points. This tends to reward lists that can kerb stomp their opponents straight out of the game at one end, and lists that have very reliable plans to achieve a middling score in tough matchups at the other (“Defender” lists).Lootas are who you come to if you want a lot of Dakka shots, with their deffguns becoming Dakka 3/2. That’s pretty much a straight upgrade, as it allows them to move and shoot without issue, and they’ll often get the top profile. The downsides are that they don’t have access to either the old version of More Dakka or a shoot twice effect any more, and now have to take a Spanner per 5 models.

Da Krunch: reduced WC to 6, from 8. Remove extra 2d6 test to proc a second round of MW rolls, but add 1 to MW rolls if the psychic test was 9 or higher. For the first time in recent memory we had an actual quiet weekend on the competitive front across most of the world, with only a single GT sized event firing (our friends at FactoruM running their latest monthly event). As we covered last week, the metagame isn’t in the most edifying of states right now, and Freebooterz cheerfully ran wild over this sole singles event, so while we will do the normal rundown of it later in the article, it’s time once more for a team week, because Spain made up for how quiet everywhere else with a spectacularly huge team tournament featuring just under 700 players. That’s some exciting stuff, so lets dive in and take a look! Orks now command not one but two fortifications, the Mekboy workshop that makes the jump from 8th and the new Big’ed Bossbunka released with the updated range. Finally, if you play Snakebites you can take a named version of this in the form of Mozrog Skragbad. For 25 extra points, you get improved saves, a better weapon, and even more mortals if the great white squig rolls a 6, with the only downside being that he’s fixed to the high variance Surly as a Squiggoth trait. He’s probably still worth considering – his extra kit probably works out as less good than peak optimising a generic one yourself, but can save you 2CP. Deffkilla WartrikeUnits that disembark from a TRANSPORT model that made a Normal move this phase count as having made a Normal move themselves; they cannot move further during this phase. Such a unit also cannot declare a charge in the same turn, but can otherwise act normally in the remainder of the turn. Dragolex Alex – Thousand Sons: More Cult of Duplicity as the mainstay, but here splashing in a Cult of Magic sorceror for overwhelming firepower. Deathskulls end up as not quite the all-star premium Clan they were before, but still one that’s got a lot of potential, especially supporting some of the Vehicle heavy lists. There though, they undeniably have contention from… Evil Sunz Any list on the old-school Boyz plan absolutely wants a Weirdboy 100% of the time – Da Jump and Warpath are still super spicy things you want in every list. The Wurrboy is a bit more of a question mark – some builds might want one, but there’s another extremely strong way to get access to Beasthead powers that we’ll cover later on. Painboss Oscar Sorak – Drukhari: Pretty standard Drukhari goodstuff with a light Cronos contingent (2×2). Drukhari are good enough all-rounders that they don’t need to skew that much in teams, but the 2×2 Cronos does happen to be a particularly good number as it means they can be put into Strategic Reserves for 2CP, helpful both in matchups where the opponent has the reach to take them off the table at range, and as an offensive tools against armies reliant on 2W models like Grey knights.

Often seen muscling their way through their fellow Speed Freeks as they hurl toward the front lines, Rukkatrukk Squigbuggies employ living close-range artillery to wreak havoc amongst the enemy. They launch a variety of squig beasts at the hapless foe such as: Grot Tank • Grot Mega Tank • Looted Wagon • Mekboy Junka • Battlewagon • Gunwagon • Bonebreaka • Braincrusha • Bonecruncha • Gutrippa • Spleenrippa • Gobsmasha • Lungbursta • Bowelburna • Speedsta • Hunta Rig • Kill Rig Note: I have heard that there was very strict enforcement of rules on legacy models and proxies that may have impacted some high performing teams. I am not going to try and reconstruct any hypothetical results beyond what’s in BCP, but please don’t feel you have to flood the comments telling me about this! 1st Place – FNP7+ Team CompositionEduardo Muñoz – Adeptus Mechanicus: Mars Veteran Cohort, surprisingly again with no Stratoraptors. What it does have is a whole trio of Onager Dunecrawlers with Icarus Arrays, so it looks like lots of people were expecting to hunt enemy planes and maybe somewhat avoiding them themselves! Vidente Elthar – Death Guard: Inexorable with a slight skew towards board control with three Foetid Bloat Drones and a decent number of Poxwalkers. Presumably intended as something of a defender list – the extra mobile units means that it’s better placed to leverage its durability to ensure it has a decent score, and it’s close enough to lists that are doing well at Singles events that it’s definitely able to take some wins too.
