Codex Orks (Warhammer 40,000)

Product Information

They are so covered in scars and bionik bits that lethal injuries bounce right off them, giving every Snagga aFeel No Pain ability, usually 4+. As experts at hunting much larger prey, their melee weapons tend to have the Anti-Monster and Anti-Vehicle abilities, letting them automatically wound on much lower rolls.

But the rulebooks’ release cycle was delayed on December 4 2020, when GW put the release of the Death Guardcodex on ice due to “unavoidable delays to crucial shipments”. That book finally arrived in late January 2021.At the heart of every great Waaagh! are the Boyz. Beast Snaggas are some of the strongest and toughest Orks around, and you get a whopping 20 of them in the box. Read more about the new Beast Snagga Boyz here. Ork society is split into roving warbands under the leadership of Warbosses, but these are united by the Clan Kulturs; Goffs want to smash stuff in close combat, Evil Sunz are obsessed with speed, the show-off Freebooterz are about one-upmanship, and more. Mek Gunz, Killa Kans, and I think all of the Ork Aircraft meet the ORKS VEHICLE requirement for this boost, regardless of the fact that they’re not particularly speedy. It’s not just the slow Gretchin stuff either, even the big stompy Ork stuff benefits like well Stompa, as well as most of their heavy support units. What about Open-Topped Units and their passengers?

Codex Orks is in the somewhat unusual position where we’ve already seen some of its toys in action, with some tournaments letting players make use of the new book ahead of the main release. With that in mind, here are five things we’ve learned about the Codex since we wrote our initial review. Bad Moons are ostentatious show offs, whose predilection for the biggest, loudest and shiniest shootas is facilitated by the fact their teeth grow with such remarkable speed. With all manner of targeting arrays, underslung bomb launchas and bandoliers of additional munitions, Bad Moons can typically lay down a storm of dakka that eclipses the firepower of any other clan. With the impending release of Codex: Orks , and a strong showing from the Kommandos in the new edition of Kill Team , we’ve been thinking of all the ways we can get the most out of our favourite green hooligans. First up this week we have the meanest, greenest Orks codex in history, which sees the greenskins roar into the latest edition of Warhammer 40,000 in fearsome fettle. This huge volume contains 61 new and revamped datasheets, and includes new rules for Crusade campaigns, Relics, Stratagems, Psychic Disciplines, and seven clans, including the piratical Freebooterz. With upgrades including new Dakka weapons and that all-important boost to Toughness 5 across the board, Orks are a terrifying prospect on the tabletop – as they should be. We all know Ork Warbosses are proper killy, but just how deadly can one truly be? To find out, we first take a Beastboss on Squigosaur, who are already very strong in their own right (naturally he’s a Goff, as they’re the choppiest Orks of all). Then we add the Warlord Trait Might is Right and the Relic Headwoppa’s Killchoppa for some direct melee power, in classic Goff style.Death Guard players had to wait months longer than planned, but when the codex did come, it came along with some extra goodies – primarily the long-teased and fundamentally foul Lord of Virulence model, and a Death Guard Combat Patrol starter box – the first of its kind for a Chaos army.
