Join us as we take a look. Warbosses are the biggest of the big cheeses in their warbands, and must be properly violent and despotic to keep their hordes of Boyz in line. Their hulking example drives their bodyguard unit to fight harder than usual, and they’ll be reaping a solid tally of Armageddon’s defenders with the Cleave 1 ability on their kustom choppa, which lets them get extra attacks when fighting big mobs. Good at: Leading da Boyz, keepin’ da rowdiest gits in line. Great at: Krumpin’ – da more, da better. The Bigboss is a newcomer who acts as a lieutenant* to his Warboss and keeps his Orks on task through his stirring example. Their giant two-handed choppas can blend through large crowds with ease, and, best of all, they’ll make your charges far easier so you can spend less time jogging and more time burying axes into humie skulls. Great at: Makin’ da Boyz fight better, keepin’ an eye on da Boss’ job. To carry the tribe’s sacred Waaagh! banner, a Nob must batter their way through tough competition who all covet the prestige – but their reward is well worth it. Boyz flock to the crude banner with an almost religious fervour and are driven to fight like Orks possessed, shrugging off wounds that would kill even their sturdy kind. Good at: Joinin’ da Boss for a good scrap. Great at: Usin’ da Waaagh! energy to toughen up his Boyz. The incredible resilience of Ork physiology means that Painboyz and other medically-inclined bruisers need to pay little attention to their patients’ condition, making their shockingly brutal brand of battlefield medicine as effective as it is unsettling. They’re actually unchanged from their earlier incarnation – besides the awesome new miniature – and as effective as ever at keeping your Boyz alive. Good at: Stabbin’ humies with pointy Dok’s tools. Great at: Bringin’ da Boyz back to life if they mess up an’ snuff it. Natural conduits for the most destructive gifts of Gork and Mork, Weirdboyz are well known for being as much a hazard to their own side as the enemy’s. Like the Painboy, they retain their current abilities and characteristics, and will gleefully blow up some skulls with the escalating power of their ‘Eadbanger attack. Great at: Blowin’ his own ’ead up too. It’s not long now until you’ll be able to get your mitts on a copy of Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon, and the new edition rules that come with it. The first step to mastering the Orks within is knowing who you’ve got on your side, and then all that’s left to do is Waaagh!.
