Also, as somone pointed out earlier, you can't take your Pulsa Rokkits and
Shokk Attak Gunz in the same Bad Moonz Clan as there is a restriction of 1
Mekboy support card per clan (except Evil Sunz who can have 2 and the Kult
of Speed who can have all 5).

And yes: convert a spare battlewagon. That's what I did until the
miniature was released (yes, I have been playing for THAT long).

Not always. My Goff have hunkered down in cover and shot up the enemy as
they approached. Worked a treat too as the enemy fell into my cunningly
laid trap....

I know, I know. I guess I just suck when I am rolling for my Goffs.

That's fair enough. But I myself like the Nobs Warbikes better. Better
CAF, better guns, can command and can operate independantly if needed for
only 150 points extra. Bargain.

Good plan. Your big Break Point is the key to winning. Use it.

Anytime. I like to hear from other Ork players.

Cool. Look forward to it.
