Warband Snottspit

Warlord Gutripp Snottspit, one of the most fiercest, and cunning Bad Moon Warlord since Nazdreg Ug Urd first began as just a regular ol' slugga boy. His ferocity was even then showing, slaying the enemy with his choppa left and right. Even when wounded, his bloodlust allowed him to continue, and sometime was hard to stop even when the battle was over. Still a Bad Moon, Gutripp was thinking about wealth when he was thinking of cutting someone's head off. Gutripp was known for having the most teeth in his mob, mostly from other orks that tried to take his. After many battles on planets such as Arcadia, Celeste, and Mordia, Gutripp was a leader of a Skarboyz mob, when he was noted for killing an Imperial Colonel by tearing off head with his bare claws. After the battle, the Warboss of the raid decided that he should be the one to possess the colonel's head. Gutripp and the warboss fought for many hours when finally Gutripp snap the back of the warboss over his knee claiming victory, and control of the warband. Since then Gutripp has called many a Waaagghh! and has amassed a sizable warband, and wealth. Even today many of the Imperium worlds, Eldar Craftworlds, and Dark Eldar Cabals shake at the name Gutripp Snottspit. Mostly operating near the Eye of the Storm, Gutripp's raids seem to be taking him deeper into Imperial Territory with the cunning of Nazdreg, and ferocity of Ghazghkull.

Tactics





Now that 3rd edition is out, the ork tactics somewhat have changed. Not a whole lot really, but subtle changes. The still have the three drawbacks. Low leadership, low armor saves, and low ballistic skill. The advantages have stayed the same. They are still cheap, and you can still field a million. Other bonuses now include the living shield rule for the gretchin, which comes in hand since you gotta the boyz in close. Warbikes able to use their big shootas in the first round of hand to hand combat FIRST! One other would be burnas, a power weapon/ flamer. Perfect for hand to hand, and shooting. There are other advantage, but I won't list them all here (don't want to give out all the secrets). What I like to do is run the standard gretchin screen down the middle with the Skarboyz following behind. I send the HQ either on the left or right of the gretchin/ Skarboy mob depending where the heavy opposition is to give back-up to the Skarboyz in HtH. I send the Dreadnought down one flank with the wartraks. Then I'll send the warbuggies down the other flank. Most players send the buggies down the flank to harass the opponent hoping to draw fire from the mobz in the middle. I send them down to get behind the vehicles, and if you're playing against IG, or Space Marines, you have your fair share of tank to handle. The buggies with their twin linked big shootas Str: 5 AP: 5 Assault 3. You should be able to penetrate every vehicle there from behind with the exception of a Land Raider. If someone is rich enough, or has played the game long enough to put a Land Raider out, I leave the Zzapp gun to take care of that. It is short ranged, 24", but it packs a punch. Automatic hit Str: 2d6 with an armor penetration roll of 2d6. With that said, the shoota boys supporting the buggies, some people panic when they see all that green coming toward them, and tend to ignore the 3 buggies for the hoard of 20 ork with guns taking pot shots at them (that darn 3 BS)! This tactic has served me well in 4 tournaments now, and I've placed in the top 3 in all of 'em. 'Ood luck grot! Krush 'em down ta da bonez!
