| Q: | Does my model or unit become engaged while moving through a enemy units engagement range during a move? |
| A: | No |
| Q: | When declaring the allocation order of groups in my unit I have more than one non-CHARACTER groups that contain a model with a missing wound, how must I select the order? |
| A: | Those groups can be selected in an order of your choosing but must be in an order that makes them come before any non-CHARACTER groups that do not contain a model with a missing wound. |
| Q: | I have a unit being attacked with weapons that will modify some of their save rolls to be worse then 6 should I make those save rolls? |
| A: | Yes, because other models in your unit may have Sv’s that are better those models you’ve mentioned, this means that enough save rolls could be allocated to the those models that the rest of the results are not greater then the Sv’s of the other models in your unit. |
| Q: | Can I group or allocate a wound to a destroyed model? |
| A: | No. |
Many deadly weapons can inflict fatal injuries on any foe, no matter their resilience.
Each time an attack made with a [LETHAL HITS] weapon results in a critical hit, you can choose for that attack to automatically wound the target.



| Q: | When checking line of sight from one model to another, is this drawn between the bases of those models, or between any part of them? |
| A: | Line of sight is drawn from any part of the observing model to any part of the model being observed. |
|
| Q: | My attack has a rule that means it results in a critical hit on a hit roll of 4+. Does this work when snap shooting? |
| A: | Unless otherwise stated, no: when snap shooting, each attack only hits on a roll of 6. |
| Q: | My attack has a rule that means it results in a critical hit on a hit roll of 4+, and I would otherwise need a 5+ to hit. Does a 4+ hit? |
| A: | Yes, except when snap shooting: when snap shooting, each attack only hits on a roll of 6. |
Weapons powered by unstable and dangerous energy sources pose a substantial risk to the wielder and those that stand beside them.

|
| Q: | I have a rule that triggers when a mortal wound is allocated to a model, when does this happen? |
| A: | When you select a model in the Select Model step of Mortal Wounds (06.02). |
| Q: | I failed hazard rolls from [Hazardous] weapons, do those mortal wounds have to be allocated to the models with the [HAZARDOUS] weapons? |
| A: | No, you allocate the mortal wounds to the unit as per Mortal Wounds (06.02). (This represents Bob the guardsmen picking up his fallen squad mates plasma gun or that the twisting power of James the Chaos Sorcerer pulling his followers into the warp.) |
| Q: | If a rule says my unit must make a hazard roll does every model in the unit make a hazard roll? |
| A: | No, the unit would make 1 single hazard roll. |
Some weapons possess a punishing rate of fire, or can land devastating flurries of blows, tearing the foe apart with relentless ferocity.
This ability always takes the form [SUSTAINED HITS X]. Each time an attack made with a [SUSTAINED HITS] weapon results in a critical hit, that attack results in a number of additional hits on the target as denoted by X.The infamous war cry of the Orks is known and feared throughout the galaxy. When it echoes across the battlefield, bellowed from countless toothy maws, it galvanises the Orks and riles them into a raucous state of excited aggression.
Friendly ORKS units with this ability can:The ORKS and INFANTRY keywords are used in the following Orks datasheets:
With sufficient might or skill, warriors may sweep blades or talons through their foes in long lethal arcs.
This ability always takes the form [CLEAVE X]. Each time you gather attack dice for a [CLEAVE] weapon, if you only selected one target for all of that weapon’s attacks, add X additional attack dice for every five models that were in the target unit in the Select Targets step (rounding down).Rapid fire weapons are capable of long-ranged precision shots or controlled bursts at nearby targets.
This ability always takes the form [RAPID FIRE X]. Each time you gather attack dice for a [RAPID FIRE] weapon, add X additional attack dice if the target unit was within half range of that weapon in the Select Targets step.| Q: | If a unit has a rule that allows it to start an action when it is battle-shocked can it also continue doing that action if it becomes battle-shocked after starting an action? |
| A: | Yes |
| Q: | If a unit becomes battle-shocked after starting an action does it stop performing that action? |
| A: | Yes |
There are many ways by which to deploy troops to the field of battle including tunnels, teleportation devices and other esoteric means of transportation.
Each time this unit makes an ingress move (20.04), if every model in this unit has this ability, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 8" horizontally from all enemy units, even if that is within your opponent’s deployment zone.The most potent weapons strike with such power that they make a mockery of armour and can cleave through several foes.
Each time an attack made with a [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapon results in a critical wound, the attack sequence for that attack ends and the target unit suffers a number of mortal wounds equal to the D characteristic of that weapon. These are inflicted after resolving any normal damage inflicted by those attacks.

Certain weapons are the bane of particular foes.
This ability always takes the form [ANTI-X Y+]. Each time an attack is made with an [ANTI] weapon, if the target unit has the keyword denoted by X, an unmodified wound roll of Y+ is a critical wound.Torrent weapons project clouds of fire, gas or other lethal substances that few foes can hope to evade.
Each time an attack is made with a [TORRENT] weapon, that attack automatically hits the target.The WARBOSS and INFANTRY keywords are used in the following Orks datasheets:
Many armies employ reconnaissance units who can sit concealed, waiting for the right moment to strike.
During deployment, if every model in a unit has this ability, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 8" horizontally from your opponent’s deployment zone and all enemy units.| Q: | When my unit shoots at another unit, how does it work if some models in the target unit are fully visible to some models in my unit, while others are within a terrain area/not fully visible? |
| A: | For each attacking model in your unit, determine whether the target unit has the benefit of cover, as described in Terrain and Visibility. In this scenario, the target unit will likely have the benefit of cover against some of the attacking models, but not all. This means that, in an example unit where all attacking models are using the same weapon, when you get to the Resolve Attacks step of the Attack Sequence, you will collect dice for attacks made by models against which the target unit has the benefit of cover separately from the dice for attacks made by models against which the target unit does not have the benefit of cover. |
The stealthiest warriors can evade the attentions, and the bullets, of their foes.
If every model in a unit has this ability, each time a ranged attack targets that unit, that unit has the benefit of cover against that attack (13.08).Weapons powered by unstable and dangerous energy sources pose a substantial risk to the wielder and those that stand beside them.

While every model in a unit has this ability, that unit is a Fights First unit.High-explosive rounds can fell several warriors in a single blast, but firing them too close to comrades is unwise.
Each time you gather attack dice for a [BLAST] weapon, add one additional attack dice for every five models that were in the target unit in the Select Targets step (rounding down).Precision attacks can pick high-value targets out in a crowd.
While resolving attacks made with one or more [PRECISION] weapons, at the start of the Allocation Order step (05.03), if the target unit contains one or more CHARACTER models visible to one or more of the attacking models, the active player can select one allocation group that contains one of those visible CHARACTER models. If they do, until those attacks are resolved, or until that CHARACTER group is destroyed (whichever happens first), that CHARACTER group is the current allocation group.The hardiest warriors refuse to be laid low, even by wounds that should by all rights prove lethal.
This ability always takes the form Feel No Pain X+. Each time a model with this ability would lose a wound, roll one D6: on an X+, that wound is not lost.Joyously anarchic and recklessly destructive, all Orks eagerly get stuck in to every fight.
Friendly ORKS units’ melee attacks have [Sustained Hits 1].In the massive fights that Orks enjoy, the only way to ensure a slice of the action is to fight harder.
Between the excitement of smashing their way through the all-too-lootable interior of an enemy warship and their natural tendency to overlook their own mortal hurts - sometimes for hours at a time - Ork boarding parties can prove nightmarishly tough.
Each time an attack targets an ORKS unit from your army (excluding GROTS units), if the Strength characteristic of that attack is greater than the Toughness characteristic of that ORKS unit, subtract 1 from the Wound roll.Very little can prevent a hulking Ork from smashing a path through a voidship’s decks to wherever he is trying to go. It is generally considered deeply unwise bordering on suicidal to try...
In your Movement phase, Desperate Escape tests taken for ORKS models from your army are automatically passed and each time an ORKS unit from your army makes a Normal, Advance or Fall Back move, it can move through other models as if they were not there, provided those other models have a lower Toughness characteristic than it.Mighty heroes fight at the forefront of battle.
Before the battle, in the Muster Armies step, for each leader and support unit in your army, you can select one friendly bodyguard unit that unit can lead. That unit will then lead that bodyguard unit for the battle and form an attached unit with it.Whether capable of kunnin’ strategy or favouring something far less complicated, the biggest Ork tends to have a voice as aggressive and brutal as the rest of him. His bellows can be heard over the thickest fighting and his reputation ensures the ladz do as they’re told.
At the start of the battle round, if a model with this ability is your WARLORD, gain 1CP.Mighty heroes fight at the forefront of battle.
Before the battle, in the Muster Armies step, for each leader and support unit in your army, you can select one friendly bodyguard unit that unit can lead. That unit will then lead that bodyguard unit for the battle and form an attached unit with it.Tribal legend speaks of a blood-slick choppa once owned by Grand Warboss Headwoppa - last seen charging headlong into a horde of daemons - that turns up occasionally across the galaxy in different forms. Though it looks normal, a dark voice is said to growl in the mind of the weapon’s wielder, driving them on to ever greater excesses of violence.
ORKS model only. If this unit made a charge move this turn, this model’s melee attacks have +1 AP.
Feigning weakness, this Ork allows his foes to think he’s legging it before suddenly piling back into the fight and delivering a brutal flurry of attacks.
ORKS model only. When this unit is selected to make a fall-back move, that fall-back move does not prevent this unit from being eligible to shoot/declare a charge.
This war leader is a glowering incarnation of violence, his brutality so contagious that when he bellows his blind fury and releases his pent-up aggression, Orks nearby are excitedly swept along with him.
ORKS model only. (Once per battle, per army) In your Movement phase, you can use this ability. If you do, this unit is riled up until the start of your next turn.
Possessed of exceptional kunnin’ and a weird obsession with sneakin’ about, this powerful Ork leader loves nothing more than creeping through enemy defences before carving a bloody path through their lines.
BIG MEK/WARBOSS INFANTRY model only. While this model is part of an attached unit, this model has:
This impressively ostentatious piece of headgear signifies that whoever nicked it last controls a fleet of kroozers and invasion landers, ideal for the rapid redeployment of loot-hungry Orks.
BIG MEK/WARBOSS INFANTRY model only. When both players have deployed their armies, you can redeploy up to three friendly ORKS INFANTRY units. When doing so, you can set those units up in strategic reserves, regardless of how many units are already in strategic reserves.
With a couple of these boggle-eyed varieties of Squigs on hand, even Ork shooting has a chance of hitting distant targets, helped by squinting really hard.
BIG MEK/BIGBOSS/WARBOSS model only. This unit’s ranged attacks (excluding [Torrent] attacks) have +3" R.
The Mek who cobbled together this strange dakka accelerator isn’t sure exactly what it does - and it glows weirdly - but its new owner proudly carries it to battle, eager to know what its big switch will do this time.
ORKS INFANTRY model only (excluding WEIRDBOY models). This model’s ranged attacks have:

There is something uniquely terrifying to the foe about a nine-foot-tall, four-hundred-pound Ork who prefers to open hatchways with their head while running full tilt and bellowing like a battle tank.
Each time the bearer attempts to operate a closed Hatchway, your opponent cannot try to prevent it. In addition, each time the bearer opens a Hatchway, each enemy unit within 6" of that Hatchway and wholly on the opposite side of it from the bearer must take a Battle-shock test.
This Warboss has ordered his ladz to bring armoured crates of vicious gnasher squigs aboard. Upended into strategically vital areas, they create a dangerous infestation that enemies will struggle to remove.
WARBOSS model only. In your Command phase, you can select one NOBZ or MEGANOBZ unit from your army (excluding Battle-shocked units) that is within 6" of the bearer and is within range of an objective marker. If there are no enemy models within range of that objective marker, it is Secured by your army.
