Frinedly Orks...

The rules states that all friendly orks receive the benefit so yeah in theory, two ork players on the same team could call two Waaagh!'s in one game.

:freaked-out:

 

Don't have the codex at hand, but I'd say one race, one team, one Waagh! per game. It completely breaks the whole concept of it.

I'd do it this way. Give 'em the option: One Waaagh! for all the Orkz or one Waaagh! per team, just for their own Orkz, respectively.

I personally wouldn't want two Waaagh!'s flying at me. If they say otherwise, remember, "There's no rule dispute that can't be resolved by a slap." irate:

 

The entry for the Waaagh! says that once per game all friendly models get a fleet move. From that alone it clearly says that it's only once per game. The problem arises from what you consider friendly models. If it means every Ork on the same side, then that's your Waaagh! move over right there in that first turn you use it. Ifit means just your own models then only they get to move for your Waaagh!. So you can't get to move all allied models twice for the Waaagh! due to the wording for its entry.

 

I mean, if we're going into that much detail, since when have Orkz been "Friendly"?

 

Haha true dat, they're not friendly to anyone, not even their own clan mates.

 

Jeez, in my book anyone trying to use two Waaagh!'s in one turn is a bit of a dick.

Surely they can win without resorting to dickery, right?

 

Winning at Warhammer whilst keeping your friends, that is the balance you should try to look for.

 

Once per game means once per game

I just played a very large Ork team game (Apocalypse size) and the rules there are the rules I've generally heard everywhere else: all Orks on your side benefit from the waaaaaugh when it is called, but 'once per game' means 'once per game'. Otherwise we could be waaaaaughing every turn after the first, which is imbalanced.

So yes, they all benefit from the wwwaaaaaugh, but the side only gets one per game, regardless of how many Ork players there are.

 

Yeah, I would say that regardless of whether both teammates get the benefits of it, each Ork team/army only gets the benefit once per game.

 

im wondering if you can Waaagh! on the first turn

 

I don't have the codex to hand but the regular WAAAAGH! you get can only be used on turn 2 onwards. It says something like "a proper WAAAGH! needs time to get going so can not be used on turn 1"

 

No

No, the codex specifically says you can't waaaaaugh on the first turn.

However, if you're using Weirdboyz/Warp eads (always upgrade them to Warp eads, BTW), and you roll the waaaaaaaaaaaugh result, then yes, you can waaaaaaaaaaugh on the first turn, but only in that instance.

Here's an interesting, underused strategy: 2 Warp eads and a bunch of very fast troops (boyz in trukks, stormboyz, etc). Each weirdboy normally has a 1 in 6 chance of getting the waaaaaugh result. Together, 2 would have a 2 in 6 chance, and since warp eads get the re-roll, it becomes a 2 in 3 chance. It's still a risk, but it's a fairly decent chance that you'll be able to get a first turn assault.
