Waaagh Ghazghkull – a Codex: Orks Supplement is your complete guide to Ghazghkull’s crusade. Inside you will find the full background tale of the rise of the greatest Ork Warlord to ever stomp across the galaxy. As well as rules for fielding an army worthy of Ghazghkull in your games of Warhammer 40,000, you will find a lavish showcase demonstrating the impressive range of models, as well as colours and icons of the many units and formations fighting in the warlord’s force.

DESCRIPTION
It has long been said that should the disparate Orks ever unify beneath one leader they would crush all of the so-called civilised peoples of the galaxy. That doomsday draws nearer, for the great greenskin Warlord Ghazghkull Thraka has arisen, and Orks from all clans muster to his bellowing warcry. He is not just a mighty warrior, but a master strategist and the living Prophet of Gork and Mork – the brutal greenskin gods. Already star systems burn upon his orders, and more will soon follow. Ghazghkull has called the Great Waaagh!, drawing towards him the most warlike of his savage race. Goff warbands, Speed Freeks, Dread Mobz – all have crossed the stars in their seething multitudes to join the greatest Ork crusade in a millennium. This time, nothing will stop the green tide.

In this book you will find:

  • A comprehensive history of Ghazghkull Thraka, his battle to become supreme amongst the greenskins, and his wars against the Imperium
  • A showcase of incredible Ork Citadel Miniatures
  • A brand new detachment with which to build your Ork army: the Great Waaagh!-band
  • 14 formations that can be used in any Ork horde
  • Special rules, Warlord Traits and Kustom Gubbinz unique to Waaagh! Ghazghkull forces
  • 3 Altar of War missions and 6 Tactical Objectives that provide you with new ways to battle with your Waaagh! Ghazghkull army

Okay so this is way different from the White Dwarf leaks that said there was only 3 new formations and forgot to mention that perhaps there was a Decurion style detachment in addition to new rules.

That threw Ork players into a tizzy this week, for getting “no love”. But a big green helping of Orky Waaagh love looks to be on the way NOW!

Now without seeing all the formations in their entirety, I’m definitely digging the ability to Waaagh every turn, and get hammer of wrath standard on mobs of 10 or more boyz. Remember too with face-rippa you get to charge after running too!

So the have the Orks gone from zero to hero now, and is it time to dust off da boyz?
