I feel like the Distraction Stompa really brought out Eric’s inner ork right there. The “this is so stupid that it’s smart” level of Orky kunnin’.

Yeah, a distraction stompa is kind of excessive, but these are orks. If you're going to do something crazy, do it with purpose proper orky style! 😂

You CAN hide the Stompa in the bushes using the warlord trait "I've got a plan, Ladz!" It allows you to redeploy a blood axes unit (any unit) into strategic reserves! "At the end of the Deploy Armies step, select up to three BLOOD AXES units from your army and redeploy them. If the mission uses the Strategic Reserves rules, any of those units can be placed into Strategic Reserves without having to spend any additional CPs, regardless of how many units are already in Strategic Reserves. If both players have abilities that redeploy units, roll off; the winner chooses who redeploys their units first." So yes, you CAN have a sneaky stompa!

Now I have this image in my head of a purple Stompa sneaking around the battlefield Loony Toons style taking turns shooting things and sitting perfectly still pretending to be part of the terrain 🤣 Thanks Eric!

The Distraction Stompa talk of a "Baneblade in the bushes"... Back in the day, Snikrot _could_ Infiltrate ANY UNIT, I believe. So yeah, there was potential to just suddenly have a Stompa show up behind enemy lines.

The timing of this episode is frightening. I recently moved to a new place and my new roommate just gave me 40 ork boyz he didn't want. I've been thinking about getting into 40k with 10th coming up too. Thanks for the fire episode!

*Three Ways To Play Orks:* 1. Brutal but Kunnin' 2. Kunnin' but Brutal 3. ??? *_ZOG IT! JUST SHOOT AT 'EM!_*

I already wanted to get blood axes but this list gave me an idea. The gimmick for my Boyz is that they are ‘masters of disguise’ which means they wear space marine helmets like hats. Now I have an idea to paint a stompa with the ultramarines color scheme and symbols.

Best list:Stompa with massive flag off the back,kaptin Badrukk,run a pirate ork fleet with the Kaptin and his Ship,the stompa

Honestly, what's more distracting than a random Stompa dead center of the board? You ain't gonna notice those purple Orks doing their thing.

That last army idea I did a bit different, I did heavy attack. Squigoths carrying tank bustas, and 2 battle wagons each carrying 20 boys with shootas, those squigoths with tankbustas shooting into a vehicle after moving still hits on 4’s, and it’s 10d3 shots, even better, when you are in engagement range with the squigoth those tank bustas still shoot out of engagement

I want to believe that GW one day will remember that 40k is a satire game and will make Gretchin Revolution Committee into a proper faction (since having them with orks seems kind of excessive to me, plus we have tons of armies for SM and xenos need some of that too)

I have already read the infinite and the divine and can’t wait for that epsiode 🎉

We necrons need to see stupid list with either tomb sentinels or stalkers and mostly canoptek! All of these lists were fun and I enjoyed them!!

I love this so much! It’s great to see ork lists focused on fun instead of raw power. That’s how I play, and people are constantly surprised at how good units perform that are far from meta. Distraction stompa for the win! 🎉😂

I almost exclusively run shooting lists for the Bad Moons. My current project is figuring out a mildly functional gretchin list. As you can imagine, I don't win many games.

I love “da” lore. If I was to make a army out of Orks it would be a Dakka list.

Very much like this as a new series, hope you guys stick with it!

A distraction Stompa is truly the most orky thing I've ever heard. "De tink it's da biggest bestest boss, of course they will focus it you git"

'Three Ways To Play: Craftworlds' would be an absolute treat. So much variety with different kinds of aspect warriors, although most are resin garbage.

Great episode! Thanks for making my Thursdays better. I'm looking forward to a Custodes episode with this theme!

The Infinite and The Divine single handedly revived my interest in 40k books (currently preparing to dive into Warhammer Crime). Excellent choice to cover, everyone go read it!

Alright, I'll re-read it for the watch along. Love your guys stuff.

I'm a fan of this series. I like seeing all the fun troop combinations.

Distraction Stompa. Distraction STOMPA. That's so Blood Axes I can't even.

When Eric brought up the Stompa I was so excited cause I knew it would be a distraction, I have a similar idea using a Heirophant Bio-titan but also using Encircle the Prey to put it into reserves to redeploy it wherever I wish so you can't ignore it. Sometimes a big stupid distraction is exactly what you need

Can't wait for the GSC mortar buggies list. A whole list trying to keep away from enemies while using indirect fire at up to 48" range

This is such a good format!

An ides for when you do the Chaos space marines one, Bring all the chain guns you canThough who knows how good the Reaper Chaincannon and Hades Autocannon will be in 10th till they get their codex.

Funny thing: I roll with the 27+ warbiker list since 6th edition, when I could put basically units of 15 plus warboss and big mek and painboy also on warbikes, 3 trukks of min meganobz and T7 big gunz Won a tournament with that against Tau and Eldar during that time Meganobz were total can openers

You guys need to do a battle report with these - especially the Dakka list

I was already listening to the infinite and the divine so that's perfect. I always imagined trazin as posh british so hearing him as russian is kinda wierd but its good so far

Love this, looking forward to more to come in 10th ed. Plus also exactly how I like to build an army. Fun and thematic, but keeping one eye on it being actually usable - mostly (looking at you Stompa)

I'd love to see more of these for different factions! Off-meta lists that are still /technically/ viable are always the most fun

I fully plan on building that dakka list, and im fully holding you guys responsible for my win/loss ratio.

Call me crazy, but I love the Big'ed Bossbunka "drop pod" full of shootah boyz.

New Warhammer player and enjoyed this. Can’t wait for your deffkopta list with fortunate son on repeat.

oh, thank goodness! the poorhammer podcast! lovely!

That all the dakka list sould fun af to play. Might just have to pick up Orks to add to the pile of shame lel.

I'm keen for more of these 3 ways to play vids

Eric is brutally kunning. Mork would be proud.

Just discovered your channel. Barely played wh40k and had some necrons for almost 10 years now. I've been necron mindset since day one. The tau video made me wanna start some tau. And the 3 ways series is such a good idea. Can't wait to see for 10th Ed. I'm full of questions about armies and other stuff. Would be cool to talk with open people for wh40k and figure some stuff out. 😅

3 things I love the most about orks, and you nailed all 3 xD

ignited my love for orks again! Thank you!

13:28 The reason I came back 9 months and one edition later. The genius is real.

Regardless of which style you play, you can never have too much dakka.

Im new to warhammer and I love the looks of ork vehicles. The ability to have so many options to play makes me want to make an army with as many battlebuses as possible

I was dying laughing at the distraction stompa... you guys are awesome

Orks are one of the more expensive armies. Part of why many Ork players embrace kit bashes and such, because its orky, and cheap.

I like Distraction Gargantuan Squiggoth with Super Cannon and 15 Flashgitz hanging off. Then run a truck for 1 of your boys to take to your opponents back line to support your Stormboys trying to flank. Just puts a lot of forward pressure on a lot of armies that they have to deal with

God damn it, now I need to get a stompa for my blood axes 😂

I like this series idea :) I've dreamed of a space marine all scouts list.

Super excited for book club! I just finished it, and can highly recommend the Audio Book version.

that Dakka list.. that's just terrifying.. All i can her is "RUSH"EM BOYS!!"" and the sound of motorcycle engines and the Night Shoot at the Knob Creek Gun Range.

Great new series. More please.

I’d love to see the Eldar one! I feel that while the range is old, the amount of models in the range allow so much fantastic variation that each Craftworld can have a unique identity and very little crossover between lists!!!

I have not played with or painted a single model of any wh40k faction but I was immediately drawn to kommandoz and storm boyz and their looney tunes rockets. and here is one list. i don't care if it's good, it just looks so fun

As a White Scars player I would love to play vs with that second pick of Commando and Stompa. That just looks like a fun game.

For a name, maybe Triple Try? As from the title I assumed this was covering the trinity of Ork styles (Boys, Beast Snagga and Junk Yard) and later for Necrons Silver Tide, Destroyer&Flayed Ones and Canopteks. The series seem to be more about offering different styles to try. If you want a pun, TryAngle, as you are trying out three different angels of play.

This was everything I want

Babe, wake up. New poorhammer just dropped.

My favorite thing in 10th is gonna be sitting a group of flash gitz in a truck or a battlewagon and just running it around the battlefield poking at stuff

This video is amazing. Laughing so hard!

As someone whose new to playing drukhari and am absolutely in love with them I'd request that

the distraction stompa/kommando ork list is the most fun list Ive ever heard of. now I wish I had orks and could play something like that... oh well, here I go spending like 1500 euros again

fun little fact, Markari's FNP banner ability goes to Ork models within range, meaning the Stompa does receive that 6+ FNP, this stupid little combo led me to running a Stompa, Ghaz/Markari, 2 kill rigs and a warboss on warbike into a RTT which some major players in the Midwest and still went 2 and 1. Stompa is dumb but hitting a knight in melee for 54 damage is difficult to argue with. (the Ramming speed stratagem giving the Stompa a 3d6 charge really makes it surprisingly quick for getting into a melee fight). Though it did explode in the one game I lost in my line, 3d6" for d6 mortals certainly doesn't help your chances to win turn 1 against Tau...

I'd love to see you guys try to come up with the different styles for Custodes considering how small our range is.

My 9th edition list, prior to the Aircraft nerf was 9 Deff Dreads, 1 Morkanaut with KFF, 1 unit of 6 Killa Kans, 2 Wazboom Blasta Jets, 1 Warboss on a Squig, I took down every single meta list you can think of. Tau? NP. Termies with 4++ invluns, can't be wounded on 1-3, Daemons, Knights, you name it, that list wrecked it.

The Codex Orksarties supports these lists.

I had some ideas like this too, with two lists I want to eventually build: Der Grotten Army: Basically Grot Guard, but still using the Ork Codex. Your artillery is the Mek Gunz, your tanks are grot tanks (and the mega) and the kans, and your cannon fodder is the gretchin. HQ has to be Makari, who has a 2+ invul save and can kinda keep your grots in line. All of them converted to be in WW2 german outfits (due to blitzkrieg theme here). The Spess Mehreens: Orks cosplaying as Space Marines. Nobz and Flash Gitz as the main troops, converted to look like they're trying to be space marines (using the 'Ard boyz models). Nobz will be armed with Kombi Skorchas. Basically the Nobz are your flamer marines while the Flash Gitz are your bolter marines. Throw in a Deff Dread and a Warboss in Mega Armor (terminator) and you got your "SPESS MEHREES". Currently my friends are split on whether this should be painted Blood Ravens or Salamanders.

Just finished The Infinite and the Divine!

Great video

Commando stompa is what I'm hearing. Also that Daaka list is actually kinda relatively decent I'd say only for the fact of how many times you're just shooting and if you focus key targets I mean that's really good if you wanna play the speed game🤣

I’m feeling the blood axe list, but with one alteration. Instead of the stompa and Ghaz being your distraction point a big mek with a absolute ton of killa kanz. Kanz are the kind of unit people either assume are an absolute joke and then end up very unpleasantly surprised when they shoot decently and hack stuff up in melee or they over focus on them while the Mek keeps them going just long enough for the kommandos and storm boys to do their jobs.

im gunna get into orks as my 2nd army for the fun fluff and light hearted game play nature of them

I imagine the way you make snakebites good is you just run a goffs detachment with Ghaz and slap the beast snaggas and rigs in there

My store is doing a boarding actions tourney right now. My list is a warboss and 50 boyz. Its going great, lol.

I can't wait for the warhammer 40k cinematic universe civil war between poorhammer, adric, and adeptus podcastus

I love this

Dakka lists work (or used to before 9th... don't wanna play 9th) ! I've run them, and you have to roleplay them :) Make your enemy think you're stupid / ork. And they will forget about all the objectives you get.... The advantage of the shootas is that you're still doing damage even if you cannot charge. And the number of shots just tends to add up. Just running them over the board while the rest distracts, suddenly you had orks in your face, with just one attack less (but 3 more before the charge - it ends up mathematically the same except... you get more tactical flexibility) .

I ran a kill tank with the giga shoota in a recent game as my distraction unit which is only 275 currently and that kept aloy of stuff busy for a few good rounds before it exploded

Youve mentioned in a couple videos some guides to making the most out of ork kits and getting extra models from them. Do you happen to have links to those resources?

I know it would take more time, but I kind of want to see them do this but for each sub faction. Maybe just like a way to play for each or something

Oh duck yeah more ORKS

Would love such an episode on drukhari.

I'm playing the Greentide list when i simply wanna have some real fun. And when i play greentide, i usually give them 9 Killakans with Bigmek as frontline cover and Kommandoz or Stormboyz as flankers. But i can play other lists too when i desire like Waaghbike spam with Nob spam. And i play Orks since 2. Edition.

Gargantuan squiggoth filled with Flash gitz. you're welcome.

I actually won a RTT with Bad Moons. I used tankbustas and flash Gitz in squiggoths

3 hours left on the infinite and the divine

Question from a newer player: Would More Dakka work as an Evil Sunz list instead of a Bad Moons list? How would you guys recommend adjusting it to be ES instead? Not much of a mechanical reason, I just like going fast and using red paint.

Before they cap detachments I had a speedwaaagh list with 54 bikes, 27 nob bikes + 27 warbikes + some other stuff, 700 shots in turn one if i recall correctly

@6:10. Grots in 5th could have "Feel no Pain". SUPER Grots. :)

Have you considered running Nobz as an elite-focused green tide? Maybe Trukks and/or a Weirdboy with Da Jump to fling them around there board would be the most efficient way of running this list? I’d suggest the Chinork Warkopta but that got Legends’ed.

You take Zogrod with your melee hero to back him up. Take down demons and monsters

My god, you CAN run 27 warbikes! I currently have a troop-heavy Deathskulls/Beast Snagga army, but i think i'm gonna grab the warbikes instead of the squighog boyz next!

You have to make a fake tree for the Stompa model to hide behind. Give it a camo paint job and it'll be glorious. It's the peek-a-boo stompa.

I do hope you do orks again later into 10th edition if things change greatly.

I almost have the same Bloodaxe list (Mainly a Stompa, Loonie Boyz and a bunch of Kommandos)

My plan is like that kommandos tactic, but with squigboys as "distraction"
