Army rules

What every Orks army brings to the table, whichever detachment it is built on.

5 rules

Waaagh!

The infamous war cry of the Orks is known and feared throughout the galaxy. When it echoes across the battlefield, bellowed from countless toothy maws, it galvanises the Orks and riles them into a raucous state of excited aggression.

Friendly ORKS units with this ability can:
▪ Re-roll advance rolls.
▪ Become riled up, as stated in other rules.
While a unit is riled up:
▪ That unit has 5+ InSv.
▪ That unit’s ranged attacks have [ASSAULT].
▪ When that unit is selected to make an advance move, that advance move does not prevent that unit from being eligible to declare a charge. War Cry (Once per battle, per army): At the start of the Command phase, you can use this ability. If you do, friendly ORKS units with the Waaagh! ability are riled up until the end of the next turn.

Da Boss

Whether capable of kunnin’ strategy or favouring something far less complicated, the biggest Ork tends to have a voice as aggressive and brutal as the rest of him. His bellows can be heard over the thickest fighting and his reputation ensures the ladz do as they’re told.

At the start of the battle round, if a model with this ability is your WARLORD, gain 1CP.

Unstable Energies

Ork psykers – Weirdboyz and their unsavoury ilk – release the painful build-up of Waaagh! energy in sudden discharges of power, usually with spectacularly lethal results.

ORKS PSYKER units with this ability have a psyker level of 1 or higher, specified in that unit’s abilities. Each psychic ability has a psychic level of 1 or higher, specified in that ability’s name.
In a battle round, a friendly ORKS PSYKER unit can use a number of psychic abilities whose total psychic level does not exceed that PSYKER unit’s psyker level.
Example: In a battle round, a psyker level 3 PSYKER unit could use three psychic level 1abilities, or one psychic level 1 ability and one psychic level 2 ability, or one psychic level 3 ability.

Special Move Types

The following are special move types that certain or all of your units are eligible to make.
PULSE JET MOVE MAXIMUM DISTANCE: Pulse roll + 18" ELIGIBLE IF: As stated in the rule allowing this move type.
EFFECT: Your unit moves as described in Moving (Core Rules, 03).
BEFORE MOVING:
▪ Make a pulse roll by rolling one D6. WHILE MOVING:
▪ Ignore all vertical distance for the purposes of how far your unit has moved.
▪ Your unit can move through all types of model.
▪ Your unit can move horizontally and vertically through all categories of terrain feature. AFTER MOVING:
▪ Your unit must be unengaged.
▪ Until the end of the turn, your unit is not eligible to declare a charge or start an action.
▪ Until the start of your next turn, attacks that target your unit have -1 to hit rolls.

ASSAULT DISEMBARK MOVE 18.06 SET-UP DISTANCE: 3" ELIGIBLE IF:
▪ Embarked within a TRANSPORT on the battlefield
▪ Did not embark within that TRANSPORT this phase
▪ That TRANSPORT has not made an advance/fall-back move this phase EFFECT: Set up as described in Set Up (03.02).
WHILE MOVING: Set up each model wholly within the set-up distance of that TRANSPORT.

1 CPStrategic PloyYour turn

LOOT ON THE MOVE

Wreckin’ and Lootin’

Whether piratical or merely larcenous, Orks with an eye for loot react forcefully to rival claims.

DRIVE-BY BUSTIN'

Shooting

Ork transports are not the smoothest of rides. However, the best loot-hunters have honed their drive-by volleys of armour-cracking firepower to the point of deadly accuracy.

When: Your Shooting phase, when a friendly ORKS TRANSPORT unit is selected to shoot.
Target: That ORKS TRANSPORT unit.
Effect: Your unit’s ranged attacks with weapons selected for the Firing Deck ability have +1 to hit rolls.

GRAB IT

Shooting

Wreckin’ some gitz is all well and good, but getting the drop on them and then grabbing an opportunity for some loot is even better.

When: Your Shooting phase, when a friendly unengaged BREAKA BOYZ / FLASH GITZ / TANKBUSTAS unit has shot.
Target: That BREAKA BOYZ / FLASH GITZ / TANKBUSTAS unit.
Effect: ▪ Your unit can make a normal move of up to 6", and must end that move within range of an objective.
▪ Your unit is not eligible to declare a charge until the end of the turn.

GUN-CRAZY SHOW-OFFS

Shooting

With a snort of contempt, these Orks decide to show the gitz who just shot at them what real guns are capable of.

When: Your opponent’s Shooting phase, when an enemy unit has shot.
Target: One friendly FLASH GITZ / TANKBUSTAS unit hit by those attacks.
Effect: Your unit shoots using normal shooting, but while doing so your unit can only target that enemy unit.
