This was awesome! The photos make it so good to follow along. I haven't played for decades, but I used to write myself so many notes after each game to see if I could find patterns and to help me learn.
Would the stormboyz be good at taking out snipers like the ones at the top of that building? They used to be pretty amazing in close combat, especially against heavy weapon troops.
MegaNobz got nerfed? That's a bummer!!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Stormboyz at this point in the rules are essentially just Boyz with a jetpack strapped onto them so they can deep-strike and "advance/fall back + charge" in the same turn. They COULD be used as rapid attackers but aren't going to be winning many fights. That maybe could have taken those snipers though! Good call!
MegaNobz, yeah ... it's unfortunate. Seems like a major over-correction to me. The last Ork codex came out about 2 months ago and MegaNobz were likely the single biggest winner. They work wonderfully in Dread Mob and Bully Boyz AND they adjusted their stats to make them more survivable in the WAAAAGH! They corrected this by raising their price from 30 points each to 40 points each AND lowered their defense. Seems to me one or the other would have been enough but, without testing, it's very hard to say.
I've found them to be damn-near unkillable but, with their price going up 25% and their stats coming down, they may just be too expensive at this point.
