While we're on this topic called "ork issues", I add this new one about stormboyz:

Detachment card say: Kaptin & 4 Stormboyz stands, they are noted independent.

On the paper, they seems close to the freebooterz/kommandoz card but there's no stats for the captin and nothing is mentionned about behaviour when their captin is killed...

Is there something missing about stormboyz ?

Yes, the Kaptin bit was noted and a correction sent through. Stormboyz just keep going.

I'm ressurecting this thread with few more Orks codex questions:

- Gargant AA turrets (Flak Kannon & Magna Cannon) can be placed on both Slasha gargants & Great Gargants, but on witch location ? I initially thought they could be placed on shoulders on GG but could not figure on Slasha ?
- About Cluster Buster weapon: is it sure they could fit in the centerline ? I remembered the past old days where it was a Slasha Arm weapon ?

Many thanks for your help

Cluster Buster should be an arm weapon. This was fixed in the V5 book but seems the error has crept back into Gold. Another errata

Yes, shoulder makes sense for GG (or top of the head if you have that variant). I guess if you really want to put one on the Slasher it would have to replace an arm mount. I wouldn't!

Any future modifications in the gold codex about cost for battle cannon turret (stats is still missing in the gold ork codex) and scorcher turret ?

Cost revisions have been discussed in the past here

Added to errata thread.

Another question from an Epic-fr member:

- why was dropped the old rule saying a gargant can give orders to orks within 10cm around ?

Is it intentional or not ?

What edition had that rule?

Hi Zap,

Not sure if it was in Ork and Squat Warlords SMv2 extension or in Titan Legion Rules.

Just checked in the Ork and Squats warlords book and this rule located on page 45 (page called "Gargants" in French edition) second column, last sentence before title "Grosse Bande de Gargants" (Big gargant Mobz in english ?)

I cant remember it ever being actively discussed. Probably not a conscious decision. Don't think it has much real impact....there are plenty of cheap ways to get independant Orks cheaply now.

Maybe this rule could be kept when you pick a gargant as your army big boss ? This gargant could give orders to orks within 10cm ?

It wasn't really about getting a mob of independant orks on the table, it was more about having another point of command for the non independant orks in your force. I could always sort of imagine a gargant boss telling the 'lesser orks' near him what to do. regardless of who was really in charge of the horde.

You do things like have your gargant escorted by a stomper mob, (which always kind of looked cool on the table) or some other non independant ork unit. Of course if the gargant bought it they were usually out on a limb. But hey, that's playing orks for you.
