6th Ed is out. And HOLY SHIT ORKS GOT NERFED!

 It is a sad day in ork history my friends, Unless you have been living under a rock Im sure you wargamers have all heard that 6th ed. is now out for Warhammer 40k. And Im sure if you read the ork errata then you know what the title means by THE ORKS GOT NERFED. Now kustom force fields only provide 5+ cover to vehicles, Furious charge grants only+1S and not the +1I now, and to really punch orks in the balls is the fact that now Deffrollas only do a d6 S10 hits now. And just as the poor orks lie clutching their tenders, 6th Ed. comes back to spit on us one last time by declaring that now when we charge, we get to be fired at by the unit we are assualting, although at only a BS of 1. Still, that makes a unit of 50 gaurdsmen a formidable foe. However, We orks are smart gits. We will learn to adapted to the new rules that they place us in. Flash Gits now ignore cover, and lootas can shred light vehciles even better now with the glacing hits each causing a single hull point of damage, we get so many shots that we will be killing a vehicle a turn with them.
               Its a new rule set, and still in its infancy. There will be changes, updates, new codices, but we orks are tough, we will learn how to fight a propa fight no matta wot! WE'Z DA ORKS, AND YOU IZ NOT!

WAAAGH! DA ORKS: Nobz

Inquisitorial Storm Troopers are cut apart by a group of Ork
Nobz

Ork Nobz. These guys are the big hitters. 3-10 per group, Coming in at 20 pts. a pop these are not bad on price, but what you get with the price is what matters. WS:4 BS:2 S:4 T:4 W:2 I:3 A:3 Ld:7 Sv:6+. Wait that can't be right, a 2 wound 20 pt model? Yes that's right, 2 Wound 20 point models, with 3 attacks (not including close combat weapons.) There are some downsides, such as only I:3, but all Orks have low I. Don't forget   the Ld. 7 and Sv. of only 6+ You say. I say in return, that those states are deciving you. You see, Ork Nobz have a little something called upgrades, and with a lot of them too! I'll run through the ones that are actually Important, as all the other upgrades in my opinion are crap.

Nob Bikers: +25 points, gives the Nob a bike and all the other rules involving bikes with it. Thoughts: I like this upgrade, though very expensive, a squad of Nob bikers is one of the games best units. Increasing the Nobz Toughness to 5, and giving them a 4+ invulnerable save, it's worth every point.

Big Choppa: +5 points, CCW that adds +2 to the Nobz strength. Thoughts: I personally like this upgrade, as it pumps up the nob to effectivly 7 S. on the charge, and is a cheap way of allowing your Nobz to smash light vehicles.

Power Klaw: +25 points, power fist. Thoughts: A must have in Nob Squads, It allows the Nobz to Wreck anything they are up against, I use this upgrade  in every Nob Squad I have ever run. There are pages upon pages of people simply writing Ork Tacticas centered around this single piece of gear.

'Eavy armour: +5 points, 4+ save Thoughts: Good, good, a decent piece of wargear to spend on if you have the points remaining.

WAAAGH! Banner: +15 points, +1 WS to all models in the squad. Thoughts: I have seen friends use this to great extent, and it is a piece of wargear that is very good at pumping up states at a very cheap price.

Painboy: +30 points, upgrades a single Nob to a Painboy, giving every Nob in the Squad feel no pain.
Thoughts: Another must have, Feel no pain is a great ability giving you a second armor save. It is wonderful upgrade for you newbies out there who are playing against other n00bs as when you plop down your  uber awesome nob invincibel (lol I can't spell) squad nothing will stand in your way (Que evil manic laughter) No but seriously these guys rock.

Cybork body: +5 points, 5+ Inv. save. Thoughts: Another way to protect your Nobz.

Overview: Nobz are a great unit and probably the best elite option in the Ork codex, If you don't have a squad of them, Get some now.

BOO I'm back!!!
