Straight Shooter: A Memoir of Second Chances and First Takes

Product Information

A protective nun develops a new connection with her orphan boys at the same time as a new, really troubled kid arrives. Ork lists are already often splashing second detachments from different Kulturs, and the fact that you unlock the strats from here when you do that is a reasonably big deal. First up, the army rules (correctly) assume you’re mostly going to want Outrider detachments in this army, and help soften the CP blow of that by letting you get a refund on the cost of the one of these that contains your warlord, Ravenwing-style. In addition to the blocky Battlewagon turret and Orky glyph plates, it has sponson-mounted big shootas made from Warbike deffguns and a hull-mounted skorcha from a Deff Dread.

Not content in letting the Deathwatch having all the fun, Blood Axe units armed with shootas can spend 1 or 2 CP on Speshul Ammo to upgrade their shootas to Dakka 4/2 guns with AP -1. This is the one stratagem here that’s got strong synergy with the Buggies build, as one of the notable problems with the Blood Axe variant compared to Freebooterz is that they struggle to deal damage through Dense terrain.The combination of mortal wounds and sheer volume actually make for a pretty viable sniper rifle, even having a chance to kill a Primaris Captain 5% of the time.

This is bright enough to stand out from their drab green fatigues and armour, which used a lot of Deathworld Forest , Death Guard Green , Death Korps Drab , and Castellan Green . On the supplement front, it’s the Blood Axes sneaking to the fore, gaining a whole bunch of sneaky new tricks to utilise. The list has seen some success, but it’s a pretty extreme skew build, and has generally fallen out of favour as Freebooterz have come to dominate. You use this at the start of the fight phase when the opponent is engaged with Kommandos who are wholly within an Area Terrain feature, and it causes the enemy to no longer count as having charged and to be unable to benefit from Fight First abilities, leaving them primed to be pinched to death with a power claw (they also get -1 to hit the Kommandos).This gives any Speed Mob unit re-roll 1s to hit against a target within 12”, increasing to re-roll 1s and 2s for Boomdakka Snazzwagons (which generally do want to be up close because of their burna jets). Another Campaign book down, and our trip to the Octarius sector definitely feels like it’s going to cause some impact overall thanks to the Leviathan supplement and Speed Mob. At that point, being able to bring a Vanguard of these without shutting off your army wide effect will be genuinely valuable. While you lose your Kultur, you also don’t lose your CLAN keyword or access to relics/traits, so you can pick whichever of those gives you the most upside to go with, or whichever gives the best Kultur for any planes you bring along.

In addition to those benefits, SPEED FREEKS units in your list (so not planes or Battlewagons, which keep their normal rules) lose their Clan Kultur and instead get the Adrenaline Junkies special rule. That means that an Army of Renown dedicated to these units is a pretty enticing prospect for Ork players (and faintly terrifying for everyone else) – and oh boy does it deliver. This replaces a Kustom Shoota with far more shots, S5 AP-1 and the standard sniper ability to ignore Look Out Sir and do mortal wounds on a 6.The math behind this one is pretty simple, but I thought it was so cool that I felt compelled to look at it. Gloryboyz gives a unit of these +2” to their charge if another Blood Axe unit successfully charges something, which is a hefty boost to their ability to reliability out of deep strike in combination with ‘ Ere We Go.
