I'm a new ork player so any adive will be appreciated. Is it worth it to take shoota boyz?
I will admit, I tend to run a Snakebite army list or a Feral list when I play, so I suppose me being used to having Huntas out there armed with shootas that they can actually hit with might change up the way I look at things, but still.Warboss BigNutz said:No never, don't even think of using them. There is really no point to them, Orks can't shoot we all know that so whats the point of Rapid Firing when there twice as good in assalt. If you want some "shoota boys" put three big shootas in a slugga boys mob.
I do, marines have a 67% chance of hitting.Sandhawk03 said:SMs have a 50% chance of hitting something with their bolter fire.
I don't see the problem.

I think all these stats and numbers are quite irrelevant. Shoota boyz are worth it (IMO) for one reason: the look on your opponent's face when you claim: "Im shooting at your 5 guyz. I need 60 dices".
Ahem. A whole mob with 2 big shootas and a rokkit launcha for 100 points? Where? 10 boys with 2 big shootas and 1 RL costs 101 points sunshine.dagreengrot said:all i know is that i will usually take a whole mob of shoota boys, for around 100 points with no nob and 2 big shootas and a launcha. Since i fight necrons i will march these boys right up to the front line and have them take shots for the storm , scar , and slugga boys behind them. plus with a 4+ wound on those expensive necrons he cant afford to not to deal with them sooner or later because they will all go down sooner or later.
I was planning on filling out my elites choices with two stormboyz mobs and an 'ard boy mob. I'm not sure if I want one mob of 30 shoota boyz, or two mobs of 15-20 shoots boyz.Sandhawk03 said:If you wanted you could strap some extra gun barrels to those shoota boyz and make them more dakka flash gits, which I personally have found to be very effective in small units with no special weapons. Remember those stats above, and then make it Assault 2 instead of Rapid Fire.
Nice.
