As an Ork Player it is your job to protect your Boyz so that they can fight for you. These sound like basic ideas, but nobody is born a tactical genius, and the impulse to run after whatever is closest is hard to fight Orky. Keep your Boyz alive, and they will do the rest. The Greentide is a strategy of running just Boyz and as such you'll need all the boyz you can muster. Boyz are point effective troop choices that can down most units in no time flat. How do you do this? In its purest form the great Ork Waaagh doesn't shoot, except for whatever shooting can be done as part of an advance.

Fielding as many maxed out slugga choppa mobz as possible, with whatever supporting units are critical to buffing these close combat monsters to their greatest potential:. The tactic here is simply to overwhelm your opponent with too many T4 Boyz and too many Choppa attacks, ignoring fliers and all distractions in favour of simply occupying the board and killing everything in your way. Armies that fall back and shoot are generally not armies you will do well against, but that does not diminish the fun of Waaaghing out on everyone, and orkz iz never beat, they can always come back fer unnuver go.

Learning to swiftly manage your Boyz on the board, without misplacing or blocking your key characters from reaching the positions they need to be in, from deployment to victory, will be your greatest challenge. Substitute Ork Boyz for other choices that don't get an extra attack for having 20 or more models such as:.

As you can see taking three Battallion detachments is cheaper by 33 pts compared to the Brigade and nets 3 more CP. Probably the smallest useful detachment, however, is two Weirdboyz and 10 Gretchins x 3. Just over points, but unless you have a bunch of vehicles, makes for considerably more utility for only a few teef more. In a Codex that upped Ork shooting to terrifying levels, Kustom Mega-Kannons can still sling hot plasma death, and Kannons are good against most light targets.

The Big Mek can also repair the gunz. Cheap bundle that gives a spare Command Point. A one-shot cheese tactic that can be potentially devastating against superheavies. Using the Mob Up stratagem for 1 CP allows normally small squads to be bigger than normal which then can be teleported by a Weirdboy with Da Jump.

Doubly so because 'Ere We Go! Here is a list of units that benefit from this:. Orks have possibly the greatest potential for conversions. Use this to your advantage. To start off, pick up the Start Collecting! Now onto the conversions. Pick up the Start Collecting! Now that you have a solid core of Infantry, a few HQs, a fast attack and a heavy support, it's time to bring in the big guns.

Grab the Speed Freeks set for a whole lotta red 'uns, and pick up a Mek Gun or two. Everything after this can be made with fun kitbashes. You don't need that much, especially not against things like Orks, but already -4Ld renders Plague Marines as cowardly as Conscripts , and models that flee don't proc FnP-equivalents. Night Lords, eat your hearts out. Here's a list of the Imperial units that stack with Angel of Death:.

  • With an Open Heart.
  • Blicke mir nicht in die lieder (Harp Part)!
  • Warhammer 40,/Tactics/Orks(8E) - 1d4chan!

The Imperium's Sword I: Get him into combat turn one and start breaking things immediately out of deepstrike. What Smashfuckers are made of. Excellent for Captains in either Bikes, Gravis or Terminator armour. Storm of Fire S: Remember it affects ANY unit, not just infantry.

Warhammer 40,/Tactics/Space Marines(8E) - 1d4chan

It gives the biggest benefits to high volume, low strength and AP weapons - that's all sorts Bolters and Flamers. Especially flamers, as they are guaranteed to hit.

Here's a list of notable high volume of fire units mere Stormbolter termies isn't that huge , and remember only one model needs to be in range to benefit the whole unit:. Rites of War S: Units within 6" automatically pass morale tests. While most of your units already have high re-rollable Ld on small squad sizes, Black Templars man Crusader squads will love it. Champion of Humanity I: So just paint them however you like and run them as their progenitor, unless you're using Forge World Special Characters.

As you can see, it is extremely hard to draw a clear winner between the Power Axe and the Power Sword. What's easy to remember is that the Axe is stronger against Marines that you'll face a lot , the Maul is best against Storm Shield Terminators or anyone else with a good invuln, and the Axe is best against most of the tanks. Power Swords have the edge on most things relying only on their armor saves, while Axes scale better against tough things. What you choose between the two is a matter of preference, meta, and gaming group.

If your warlord is a Space Marine Character, you can give 1 Character 1 relic, absolutely free. Weapon relics can only be taken by a unit that can take the weapon it's based on, and you have to pay for the base weapon. The Relics of the Chapter Stratagem can be used before the game starts to take up to 2 more Relics, though they can't be duplicates and each one has to go to a separate character.

Named characters can't use relics. Specialist Detachments are an upcoming type of Detachment that will be added starting in the Vigilus Defiant campaign supplement by use of stratagems. These Detachments are custom made for specific sub-factions which grant them access to additional Stratagems, Warlord Traits, and Artifacts.

Reivers and Hellblasters will need to use the Liberation Strike Force for their exclusive goodies, and Aggressors are just plain out of luck. Once per battle, in your Shooting phase you can choose for the bearer to throw the Holy Orb instead of making a normal shooting attack. If you do so, pick a visible enemy unit within 6" of the bearer and roll a D6 for every 10 models in that unit rounding up. But not termies, they aren't vet enough apparently. And fluff aside, this is the only formation specialist detachment that can bring deepstriking melee squads with actual AP, aka Vanguard Vets.

We are the only specialist detachment that gets to pick from two relics. Honour AND Glory, remember? They can only be wielded by Victrix Guard characters. Unit keywords are Adeptus Astartes , Primaris , Chapter , and the like. Units with a specific Chapter keyword can only be taken by that Chapter. Note that even if most "Bike" variants of characters have been written out of the Codex due to them having no official miniature and some models due to those miniatures being limited edition , they can still be taken and are legal, using the Index: Imperium 1 datasheets and the latest point costs.

White Scars players can thank the God Emperor Absolutely! Interestingly GW does some good things nowadays! These are arranged by Founding, so you can more easily work out what Chapter Tactics to use when applicable. Either Ultramarines or Dark Angels successors, with no great way to decide between the two; your fluffiest bet is Ultramarines, since they make the best bikers anyhow. Although if we look at their Chapter Tactics before 8th, White Scars is the best substitute; in 8E, they actually have the Tactics the Scars would need to be actually worth a damn with bikes but in 8E, the best biker chapters are Dark Angels and Ultramarines, bringing us right back to those two.

Astral Claws love mortal wounds, have I said that enough? Probably loyalist Thousand Sons successors; your fluffiest bet is actually to dynamically choose a tactic after learning your opponents' faction, which is not banned by any game rule and will instantly make them feel like the magpies they are. Probably loyalist Emperor's Children successors; the closest you're going to get here is probably Ultramarines Chapter Tactics to reflect their hard-on for the Codex Astartes, although Iron Hands might reflect their love of purity and previous tactics better.

Said to have "chimeric" gene-seed, but given their melee preference your fluffiest bet is Black Templars; however, if you field Moloc, Iron Hands is a good choice instead to represent being rock-hard in melee.

Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Space Marines(8E)

These guys are particularly interesting, because they're a Codex Chapter founded by a non-Codex chapter which has no Chapter Tactics rule. As their founding Chapter is considered to be unknown by most of the Imperium, they get a free choice of Chapter Tactics like any other Chapter of unknown origin. Grey Knights additionally have absolutely no rules in their Codex or Index section covering how to field their successors. Your fluffiest choice of tactic will probably be, like the Blood Ravens, to dynamically choose your tactic after finding out your opponents' faction, as that is how the Chapter fights in the fluff, and no game rule bans it.

Imperial Fists tactics are absolute trash for Executioners; assault is your endgame, and Thulsa Kane helps them do that well. Black Templars , on the other hand, give your guys a better shot at getting into melee while also being semi-fluffy, since Black Templars are still Imperial Fist successors. Note that Black Templars specifically are banned from taking Adeptus Astartes Psykers , not all Chapters with their Tactics, so in neither case will you lose out on Librarians. Raven Guard tactics could be used for these guys due to their preference for guerrilla warfare, although RAW states you must make do with their founding chapter: Troops are usually where one turns for numbers, as in 8E the player with the most models within 3" of an objective can claim it.

However Space Marines are usually outnumbered, so the main reasons to bring Troops were to either build for command points, to field huge units of Crusaders, or to Scout Spam. However, 8th Edition Codex gives Troops a powerful tool in the form of the Defenders of Humanity rule. As long as even one model in a Troops unit is near an objective, it will remain yours no matter how many enemy models are also present, aka the Objective Secured rule from 7th Edition.

Given how hardy your Troops are compared to those of most armies, this means that their value is greater than their stats and wargear would suggest, and while they're still outnumbered by enemy Troops, they can wrestle objective away from other enemy units. Unfortunately, as 8th Edition drags on it's giving ObSec to every other army as well, so Troops are once again back to Command Point requirements, huge Crusader Squads, or Scout spam, with the recent addition of Intercessors for those who want their objective campers to take more of a beating. The Space Marine Elite slot gets work done and carries essential buffing character units like the Apothecary and Company Ancient, as well as a few exotic Forge World vehicles.

Fortifications are not a serious part of any meta right now, so using them can be an advantage while the Imperial Fists and Iron Warriors are not common. Forgeworld FAQ [1] updates the relic rule for LoW, effectively you can get one with no pre-requisites but further ones will still require the 'non-relic' tax. On the other hand, who would even need to bring 4 Lords of War into anything short of the biggest Apocalypse games? Beware as they are all overpriced, thank daddy GW for that and should never be taken outside of fun games.

  6. The first and most helpful thing to remember in 8e is 'use your command points! In the shooting phase, re-rolling wounds done by a D6 wounds weapon, or the number of shots fired by a D6 shots weapon, are usually the most optimal dice to reroll. Generally speaking, the more variance a dice has, the more efficient a reroll gets. Re-rolling a crappy D6 roll is always better than re-rolling a D3. You should also be aware of the wide variety of potent Space Marine-unique Stratagems out there and plan out which ones you want to use accordingly; for example, a tank-heavy Iron Hands list would be best served with the Killshot, Armor of Contempt, and Machine Empathy Stratagems.

    This is especially important for Ultramarines, as two of their special characters Roboute Guilliman and Marneus Calgar grant bonus Command Points just for being the Warlord in a Battle-Forged army. Additionally, their unique WT gives them a chance to recycle their CP so you can use even more Stratagems. We are very lucky, especially if you play mostly Numarines. We have a fuckton of sets and boxes that come at significant discounts for you Ultima Founding chapters.

Here's a list of the Imperial units that stack with Angel of Death: These sources of debuffs can quickly arrive wherever you need them. Interrogator Chaplains have a natural -1Ld aura, they have the Eye of the Unseen relic for further -1Ld, and Interromancy's Mind Wipe inflicts -1Ld and will proc more often with your help , along with other Ld powers. That's -3Ld from two characters with Jump Packs. Sanguinior have a natural -1Ld aura, as does anyone wearing a Sanguinary Mask.

    Versatile, powerful and easy to use at range. Complements your close-and-personal units. Here's a list of notable high volume of fire units mere Stormbolter termies isn't that huge , and remember only one model needs to be in range to benefit the whole unit: Aggressors Lets not kid ourselves here, these guys can pump out hundreds of S4 shots with careful execution max.

    They are simply begging for buffs and modifiers. Bring out the model trays Inceptors who can keep up with a Jump Pack Warlord. Dreadnoughts , but especially the extra shooty ones like Dual Gatling Redemptor , shooty Leviathan and such. Though rifleman Venerables are more common. Special mention goes to the Deredeo since it can pack Anvilus autocannons and Heavy Bolters for 14 regular shots plus 2d3 from the Aiolos. Especially if they are Ultramarines. What they lack in individual volume of fire, they make up with sheer marine numbers.

    Devastators would be too close for comfort, and Assault Cents' got short weapons range on a very slow moving platform. Fortunately, Land Raiders like the Redeemer , Crusader and especially the Prometheus FW also have a high volume of fire, and makes sense for them to carry your warlord in addition to either Cents or Crusaders. Your best source of flamers, which will appreciate the boost to AP for those guaranteed hits. Deimos Predators FW also carry a tonn of flamers. Note that we do not take into account the chances to hit, since they do not vary based for the 3 weapons we are looking at.

    Results are expressed in percentages. We also assume that the weapon is wielded by a basic Space Marine, so with Strength 4. Remember, Axes cost more, so anywhere it ties with one of the other two choices, the other one was better. Astral Claws [ edit ] Either Ultramarines or Dark Angels successors, with no great way to decide between the two; your fluffiest bet is Ultramarines, since they make the best bikers anyhow. He can come back from the dead But he is pricey at pts. Take note of this dudes special rule Big Guns Never Tire and how well it combines with the rest of the Astartes codex.

    Lugft Huron is the king of mortal wound spam in a very mortal wound spamming prone army. You have to get creative: I'm talking triple vindicators, librarians, scout snipers, scout bikers, devastators using double hell fire shells, all the other command stratagems, AND a Damocles Command Rhino which doesn't even need Lufgt to ride in for another Orbital Bombardment!!! You will be that guy to a degree, but this is all totally legal and really just very good tactics.

    Enjoy frying anything from Magnus to carnifexes all with comfortable ease. BE sure to load up on command points and consider a brigade because this play-style while quite good, is very command point taxing.

    His gun is a lame Pistol 2 now, despite still being called a Bolter. Also has the unique ability to choose his chapter keyword between Astral Claws and Tiger Claws , the latter of which will never be taken, because it disallows other Astral Claws characters from being taken. See above Lugft Huron.
