The Space Orks
Grande Finale: Tier 4

Orky Overview

Waaagh?

Caution! Work in Progress page

Basic layout is set, but I'm still scratching my head about how much clutter to display info on individual units. Don't feed the Squig!

Tier 4 is considered reached after you've researched Extra Vehicle Armour at da Mek Shop. Other than unlocking the Looted Tank and Squiggoth, its a very expensive, slow burning tech to research, that only gives your vehicles a piddly 10% health upgrade.

Know your techs!
At Extra Vehicle Armour (or Tier 4) ...

Looted Tank and Squiggoth unlock!

Looted Tank
Ork End Game Tank

looted tank pic goes 'ere

Amour	5044hp Vehicle High (God level Armour)
Ranged	67-93 Battle Kannon & 3 Big Shootas
Accuracy
Add-Ons	none

Sometimes called the Looted Leman Russ (or just LLR) in the fan fora. Looted Tanks are wrecks scavenged off the battlefield are restored to some kind of life by the Orks. Its the sole Ork end game tank. It has an impressive artillery cannon that's pretty accurate, that functions as a good infantry disruption, vehicle counter and a good base demolition tool. On top of that, three Big Shootaz can do serious harm to end level infantry, vehicles and bases. The Looted Tank is a big, ugly, block of a unit - taking considerable punishment and dishing out as good as it gets. Once you've grown old waiting for the Extra Vehicle Armour Research to finish, you can spam these things out reasonable rate, and they can completely replace Wartrakks and Wartrukks.


Prerequisites	Perks	Pros	Cons

da Mek Shop Extra Vehicle Armour upgrade	None.	Solid chunk of tank: Battle Kannon is excellent artillery and anti-infantry weapon. Massing its Big Shootaz does impressive anti-infantry and AV damage - even against Possessed Space Marines. Solid base basher and demolition, at range. Readily produced once you finally struggle past Tier 4.	They seem to come too late for many Ork online games Hopeless anti-vehicle capability: gets wiped out by Predator Annihilators, normal Leman Russes and Chaos Projectiles. Keep yer Tankbustas handy! Battle Cannon does less damage to vehicles and buildings than the Big Shootaz!

Looted Tank Weaponry

Looted Tank BATTLECANNON
Ultimate Ranged Hand Weapon

An suitably powerful weapon but outclassed by other Tier 4 tanks. This is an anti-infantry and base demolition artillery piece, NOT an anti-tank weapon, although it can land some solid punches to other vehicles. The Battlecannon is totally inaccurate when moving, but its usefulness as disruption remains largely undiminished.

Melee	1730-2114 Squiggoth gorin' an' squishin'
Ranged	480-586 Zzzaaap Gun & two twin-linked Big Shoota turrets
Accuracy	poor
Add-Ons	none

One of the biggest and spectacular units in the game, the Squiggoth is a rampaging war-dinosaur of colossal health and power.


Prerequisites	Perks	Pros	Cons

da Mek Shop Extra Vehicle Armour upgrade Relic	Rampage spell: description goes here 8 special attacks.	Can transport two whole squads Can be repaired by Grots Immune to Psyker's Curse of the Machine Spirit spell. Awesome engine of infantry, vehicle and base smushin'. Moves 50% faster than most Ork infantry - when it gets a clear run that is.	Gets stuck very easily even in moderately large spaces - in fact it can be completely immobilised at da Mek Shop if you build your Orky base wrong. Worse, it can block your entire horde at the drop of a hat. Beware of Choke Points, ramps and cluttered bases! Rampage ability is completely blocked by any vehicle or building standing in its way. Vulnerable to massed missile turrets, D-Cannons and Rokkit Waaagh! Banners. Vulnerable to Bosses, Mega Armoured Nobs, Tier 4 tanks, and Assault Terminators. Incredibly slow turn rate. Very slow acceleration rate. When in close combat, none of its ranged weapons function. Apart from some obvious area effect special melee attacks, the Squiggoth can only gore ONE target at a time. Zzzap Gun effect and Gore always shows a hit, even when they sometimes miss.

Squiggoth Weaponry

Squggoth
GORIN' & SMUSHIN'
Ultimate Ranged Hand Weapon Mk II

There's very little that can withstand the dreadful maw of a Squiggoth. But like all Ork close combat, not that accurate. But one blow can kill a Marine, take off 300- 400hp on a building, or up to 650hp off a building. Gulp!

Squiggoth
ZZZAP GUN
Ultimate Ranged Ork Weapon

If only the Orks had more of these things! This is Ork's high end ranged weapon for its high end God monster. It takes off about 800hp off infantry, about 300-400 off vehicles and buildings, and 250ish for Terminators and Daemons.

Squiggoth
SIDE TWIN BIG SHOOTAS
Cosmetic side turret x2

Two surprisingly ineffectual twin Big Shoota turrets adorn the paladin of the Squiggoth. They literally only do minimum damage to everything other than light infantry - and daemons and Heroes, and even then, little more than what you'd get out of a lone, upgraded Big Shootaboy with a Big Shoota. Strange.
