Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Orks (section)

==== Da Squiggly Fings ====

*'''Squighog Boyz:''' So for a long time, Warhammer Fantasy was the only place where Orcs had boars...well, now with the new Beast Snaggas da Orkz got some hogs as well. These goons are quite strong, with the squig's jaws and the ork stikkaz providing power able to overpower marines and dent monsters while the saddlegit weapons providing some annoyances. The stikkaz and also provide some short-ranged shooting that improves at 6", meaning it's more worth it when charging. If you're facing a tank, you can buy bomb squigs to chuck at them. They are obviously subject to "new models" syndrome being very good and resilient (T6 3W no less) for 25p. They are also designed as backbone of squig heavy army.
**How do they compare to the bikers? Well, they're the same price, but are forced into smaller mob sizes (3-6). They are tougher but slower, more scary in CC but lack any serious shooting or protection against enemy shots and lastly they don't have nob with them which translated to no special weapons and Ld of 6 (so bettrer take them in MSU). That said, they're offered all the benefits that come with being Beast Snaggas. Of course, the welcome buffs to Strength and Toughness make them capable of splattering GEQ like nobody's business.
** Boar boyz from wFB/AoS can be VERY easily converted as alternative models.

*'''Nob on Smasha Squig:''' Another new model. You can buy up to two nobz without taking a slot when taking squighog boyz. They are useful for keeping up with those oversized squigs and provide some mortal wounds on the charge (5 dice causing MW on 4+ each). His combat output suffers though, as he only has a slugga for shooting and the big choppa plus some squig attacs to add some variety in combat. Overall not bad for 65p.
** Note they can be outfitted with extra relics and warlord traits to turn them into MW missile with big gob and Edwoppa Killchoppa for example.
