Codex - Orks Angry Greenskin Edition

Introduction

Angry codices are an attempt to improve internal and external balance. Check out the Angry Codex hub for the other angry codices.

Note that I am not an Ork player and have limited experience watching them and playing against them. Tips from Ork playas would be greatly appreciated as I can only really work through mathhammer, and I only start working on things which I never see anyone take, see everyone take or is just glaringly unbalanced.

Disclaimer

Games Workshop in no way endorses this codex nor any of the other Angry Codices. No infringement is intended with this work, nor any other of the Angry Codices. The intent of the angry codices is NOT to make GW go out of business, but rather to improve the quality of the hobby, which leads to a happier and larger player base.

Editing

Feel free to edit wordings to improve readability. Add anything you like to any of the Angry Codices, except the Angry Necrons, Dark Eldar and Daemons, for these documents you should instead first argue in the discussion page before adding or changing anything. If someone objects to something you have written or changed, you should civilly discuss and prove why your idea is good and how it fits with fluff/is more balanced etc. etc. If no conclusion can be made then the Angry Pirate has the final say, if he does not say anything remove any changes from the official codex. If you don´t agree with an edit the Angry Pirate has made you can write in the talk page of the relevant talk page or in my page by clicking the first blue link. Angry Pirate (talk)

Ork Special Rules

Mob Rule

If every model in a unit has this special rule, and the unit fails a Morale check or Pinning test (after any re-rolls they may have), roll immediately on the following table:

D6	Effect
1 Born to Fight	If the unit is locked in combat, it is treated as if it had passed the Morale check or Pinning test. If the unit is not locked in combat, it fails the Morale check or Pinning test.
2-3 Breaking Heads	If the unit includes one or more characters (including Independent Characters), it suffers D6 AP- hits with a Strength equal to that of the highest Strength value in the unit (not including weapons and special rules), and is then treated as if it had passed the Morale check or Pinning test. These hits are Randomly Allocated, but cannot be allocated to Ork characters (any excess hits are lost). If the unit does not include any Ork characters, it fails the Morale check or Pinning test.
4-6 Squabble	If the unit has 10 or more models, it suffers D6 AP- hits with a Strength equal to that of the most common Strength value in the unit (not including weapons or special rules), and is then treated as if it had passed the Morale check or Pinning test. The hits are Randomly Allocated. If the unit has fewer than 10 models, it fails the Morale check or Pinning test.

Ramshackle

A model with this special rule has a 6+ invulnerable save and fails Dangerous Terrain tests on a roll of a 1 or a 2. A model with this special rule may move as normal even if it has suffered an Immobilized result on the vehicle damage table as long as it contains a unit with 10 or more wounds total.

Gubbinz and Gunz

In each of your Shooting phases, a model equipped with Mek’s tools may choose to repair a single friendly vehicle that he is in base contact with or embarked upon. To repair a vehicle, roll a D6. If the result is 5 or more, you may either restore a Hull Point lost earlier in the battle or repair a Weapon Destroyed result or an Immobilised result instead; this is effective immediately. A model cannot fire any ranged weapons in the same turn it uses its Mek’s tools,

Rokkit Pack
