Editing Warhammer 40,000/3rd Edition Tactics/Orks (section)

==== Special Characters ====

*'''[[Ghazghkull Thraka]]''': ''"He was an avalanche from an unexpected quarter. He was a thunderbolt from a clear sky."'' - [[Commissar Yarrick]]. Only available for use in armies already over 2,000 points, and then only if all players in the battle agree to using special characters, so if [[That Guy]] doesn't want you to use him, he can totally say no. He's equipped with Mega Armour, a Mega Boosta, a Bosspole, an Iron Gob, a Stikbomb Chukka, and a Kustom Shoota with the More Dakka and Shootier Kustom Jobs.
**'''Goff Army''': As a leader with very specific preferences, he carries certain army restrictions, and you MUST have at least one Skarboyz mob, but can only have up to ONE each of Kommandos, Burna Boyz, Warbuggies or Wartrakks, Warbikes, Big Gunz, Lootas, and Looted Vehicles.
**'''Adamantium Skull''': A unique brain-plate crafted for him by Grotsnik, which makes him T5, and gives him a free headbutt attack in close combat. Can only be used against one enemy model in base contact at I4, and if that model suffers a wound from this attack they're stunned, and may not attack in melee for the rest of the turn if they've not already done so.
**'''Waaagh!''': Once per battle, Ghazghkull can call his own special brand of Waaagh!, giving him a 2++ invulnerable save for the remainder of the turn, and making all Orks on the TABLE pass all Leadership and Morale tests for the duration, as well as double their Initiative in close combat as if they had charged, though Gretchin again aren't affected.

*'''[[Nazdreg Ug Urdgrub]]''': ''"By their account this leader spoke good Imperial Gothic and used reward as well as punishment to ensure increased production of munitions  and armaments."'' - Inquisitor Nastor. BACK WHEN HE STILL HAD RULES, [[Fist_of_the_North_Star|I'M NOT CRYING]]. Just like Ghazghkull above, your army must be over 2,000 points to use Nazdreg, and an elegan[[/tg/]]entlemans' agreement to use special characters. He packs his Kustom Blast-X, an Assault 1 Plasma Cannon, as well as Mega Armour, a Mega Boosta, a Bosspole, and a Stikkbomb Chukka.
**'''Bad Moon Army''': He's a real force multiplier for an Ork army, his Special Rule allowing you to include one additional Heavy Support choice. To balance that out though, you can't bring more than ONE each of Skarboyz, Stormboyz, Kommandos, Slugga Boyz, and Stikk Bommas.
**'''Kunnin' Plans''': This means one Elites or Troops mob of twenty models or less can stay in reserve, and enter the battle by either the Infiltrators or Deep Strike rules.

*'''[[Mad Dok Grotsnik]]''': ''"Operate! Operate! Still time to operate!"'' - Himself. As hilarious as ever, this time around his Special Rules're titled '''Mad!''' and '''Bad Influence''', making him and any mob he joins immune to the effects of Morale and Pinning, and forcing them to move in a straight line directly towards the nearest enemy model and assault if possible. He comes with both Bionik upgrades as well as a Cybork Body and Dok's Tools, and his '''More Machine than Ork''' Special Rule makes him T5.

*'''[[Wazzdakka_gutsmek|Wazzdakka Gutzmek]]''': ''"'E's still da toughest, meanest, greenest, most fightinest bad Ork bikeboy dere is."'' - Unnamed Mekaniak. The Speedboss himself, riding a Warbike with [[Twin-Linked]] [[Autogun#Autocannon|Autocannons]] instead of Big Shootas.
**'''[[Speed Freek]]''': As a '''Speed Freek''', he must make a Leadership test at the start of each Ork turn, and if he fails then he must immediately move 12+2D6" in a straight line in the direction his miniature's pointing in. If he's in combat or joined to a mob, he leaves and moves off, and if he moves off the board, he is removed but not counted as a casualty for Victory Points purposes.
**'''Scrabbla''': This Special Rule represents his Grot Rigger, Fixit, who can lean over as a counterweight to improve balance, and let him re-roll Difficult Terrain tests.
