Ork Armoury

In most cases characters are upgraded from ordinary Boyz. Where this is the case the character keeps the basic weapons and wargear of the mob he's part of – for example, a Stormboyz Nob has a slugga, choppa and jump pack. This doesn't prevent you from picking extra weapons for him from the Armoury although the restrictions on the number of weapons that can be carried always apply.

Ork characters may have up to two single-handed weapons, or one single-handed weapon and one two-handed weapon. You may also pick up to 40 points of extra wargear for each character from the Wargear lists (80 points for an Ork Warboss and 60 points for a Big Mek or Painboss). The full Wargear rules are on pages 34-37. You can not take duplicate items for the same model with the exception of Grots or squigs and all wargear and weapons must be represented on the model.

Ork Vehicle Upgrades

Any Ork vehicles (apart from warbikes) may be fitted with the following additional equipment. Any upgrades chosen must be shown on the vehicle model. Dreadnoughts may only choose upgrades marked with an (*). No duplicate upgrades may be taken for the same vehicle.

Mega Armoured Warboss and Bodyguard

If an Ork Warboss is equipped with mega armour any members of his bodyguard Nobz that are also equipped with mega armour will be able choose up to a total of 80 points of wargear each (including the mega armour).

Grots and Squigs

Some Ork wargear takes the form of Gretchin slaves or squigs (short for 'squiggly beasts' – animals that Orks eat or train for simple tasks). Grot slaves and squigs must be represented by a separate model and become part of whichever mob the character they are with belongs to. They must also stay within the 2" coherency distance of the unit.

Note that the special rules for Grot morale only apply to mobs of the little green blighters, not to any Grots that are chosen as wargear. An Ork character may choose up to a maximum of three Grot slaves and/or squigs.
