With the close of the current edition, Games Workshop is releasing four new Armageddon Battalions for Warhammer 40K. I've had early access to the boxes and I'm giving you my personal recommendation. My main choice is the Ork battalion: it doesn't form a complete army, but it's a thematic and practical addition. The key reason is that the upcoming 11th Edition will bring a new range of Ork miniatures, and this battalion fits perfectly for collectors looking for a mobile and unique force.
Technical analysis of the units and their synergy in gameplay 🎲
The Ork battalion includes vehicles and assault troops that take advantage of the faction's movement and shooting rules. The units are designed to advance quickly and saturate the enemy with close combat attacks. The combination of buggies and Boyz allows for an aggressive list, although it lacks heavy support. To maximize its performance, I recommend picking up a couple of additional reinforcements. Furthermore, buying from independent stores offers discounts that make the entry cost for this force more bearable.
The battalion you didn't know you needed (until you saw the price) 💸
This battalion is perfect if you want something to do while waiting for the 11th Edition. That said, don't expect to win tournaments with it without adding more boxes. But hey, if your goal is to have a green horde that takes up table space and makes noise, it more than delivers. Plus, the day they release the new Orks, you can say you were a chaos hipster and already had your shock unit before it was cool. Just remember to buy with a discount at local stores, because your wallet needs saving too.
