Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Orks (section)

==== Special Characters ====
*'''[[Mad Dok Grotsnik]]''': Clan {{W40kKeyword|DEATHSKULLS}}. Only special character in Orks who isn't an HQ. He's a Painboy with T5, a 4+ save and personal 5+ FNP. '''One Scalpel Short of a Medpack''' means he'll be forced to charge the nearest enemy if no allies are around; this almost never comes up. Unlike regular Painboyz, he can't bring a Grot Orderly with him or take a bike. Points-wise he's a little more expensive than a basic Painboy but cheaper than one on a bike. All that extra cost is in personal durability, not improving his aura or melee ability. Worth it if your opponent is bringing a lot of snipers, and you don't want your Boyz having their 6+ FNP picked off quite as easily.
** Can heal any ork, not just clan only.
** His model is rather outdated and undersized. The plastic Painboy model is a great base for converting him.
*'''[[Gorkamorka#Special_Characters|Da Red Gobbo]] (Legends)''': He may still be a Grot, but the leader of Da Revolushun can still take more of a beating than most Gretchin and can share his Ld score with any Grots that are nearby him. His Icon of Da Revolushun isn't strong but can still fish for mortal wounds and his kustom grot blasta has just enough power in it to harass two-wound units. His most flavorful trick (befitting his Christmas-themed getup) is "Has yoo been a good little Grot this year?": pick a unit of Gretchin (Kans and mek Gunz included) within 3" after the movement phase, and on a 2+ they gain stikkbombs for the rest of the battle. Granted, on a 1 they take a mortal wound instead, but let's be honest, that's not a big loss. I'm just gonna leave this here, but he also benefits from the grot lash runtherdz carry, and surprisingly, with a 4+ WS (the coat must have some reality-bending drugs in it), he has an even better chance of decking the halls of everyone bigger than him.
**Also also, a 30-grot unit is already hitting on 3+ and with Dakka Dakka Dakka, that's a lot of shots going through, and since they'll be more often than not close enough to throw grenades, you may as well give them some stikkbombs. If they've been good, that is.
** Bear in mind unit can throw only one stikkabomb so it is not like this is massive. At best 5 extra shots.
** Since he is LD 6 improvement of ld is not like supermassive but it helps.
** He is slightly less useful as grot support than runthered for the same points. However, he additionally fills elites slot for cheap.
** Sadly he was immediately assigned to Legends. So in some setups like tournaments and stuff he will be probably disallowed. Thanks GW.
