You guys see that sexy change to ere' we go? I did! Glad to see GW realized their mistake and went back on their old errata. No more CP required for re-rolling a charge die! Also, it no longer specifies failed charges, so we can push our luck to get further in!

Uh so traktor beam mek gunz are looking REAL good you guys. Like, always-take-the-max-18-of-them good. Guess the Ork anti-tank issue has been taken care of.

I probably would if 18 of those didn't cost 810 points AND dollars.

Yeah, those things are stupid good....so good that I am probably going to use a lot of "counts as" on the assumption that they will be nerfed

Just when you thought the orkz news waz dead, they krump ya back in! FAQ is out: whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/warhammer_40000_orks_en.pdf#utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_campaign=40kORKFAQNov19&utm_content=40kORKFAQNov19Honestly a lot of this is pretty good news: -Nobz are confirmed to be able to take a kombi-weapon and a melee weapon, which there was some confusion about with Battlescribe and others. -The Goff Warlord trait giving melee weapons an extra AP on charges/interventions was a much needed buff (AP-4 Ghaz Kustom Klaw? YES PLEASE!) -Tellyporta only counting the transports and not the things inside them is just awesome -Traktor Kannons are still confirmed to auto-hit everything and are not being changed to just flyers, as some people were afraid of. -Scrapjets having 12 4+ BS Big shoota shots gives it a better response against infantry to make it a little more well-rounded. -Freebooterz grot units can still spread the Kultur by killing units, even if they can't benefit from it themselves. Yes, not being able to use stratagems on units in transports and capping the loot it! armor to 2+ is a bummer, but the good far outweighs the bad here IMO.

Yeah overall this is all good. I probably need to dust the Orks off and get a few games in

-The Goff Warlord trait giving melee weapons an extra AP on charges/interventions was a much needed buff (AP-4 Ghaz Kustom Klaw? YES PLEASE!) Does this mean you will be making that Goff detachment you were mulling around on? And Tellyporta counting only the transport has me throwing up over here. I love that Orkz got a nice boost from this.

Does this mean you will be making that Goff detachment you were mulling around on? I very well might. At least to see how they and Ghazghkull actually do compared to deffskulls. Though I'll still probably use a Deffskulls spearhead.

In light of all the changes, am I going to need to re-base my Boyz to 32s? If I do, then I am just going to buy the extenders (I have no intention of trying to pull 185 boyz ff their bases) but I really like my movement trays, and do not really want to have to buy or make new ones.

Officially, previously used base sizes are still legal for previously bought and used models. However, if you bought new versions of the same models with the new bases then you would have to change all of the old ones, since inconsistency in base sizes for the same model is definitely a no-no.
I currently have no plans to change my base sizes, not just because of the work involved but because I think having more models in melee coherency is much more preferable for orks than a slight increase in movement and range.

Not that I play in real tournaments or anything....
