The Ghazghkull Datasheet. The very name sends shivers down the spines of even the most hardened Space Marine commanders. It represents far more than just a profile of stats and special rules; it’s a declaration of unstoppable Ork power, a testament to the terrifying might of the greatest Warboss of them all. Understanding the Ghazghkull Datasheet is crucial for anyone looking to field the Prophet of the WAAAGH! effectively on the tabletop, or for those brave (or foolish) enough to stand against him.
Decoding the Ghazghkull Datasheet The Basics
The Ghazghkull Datasheet, much like any datasheet in Warhammer 40,000, is the essential reference guide for using Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka in your games. It contains all the crucial information you need: his movement speed, weapon skill, ballistic skill, strength, toughness, wounds, attacks, leadership, and save characteristic. Think of it as his digital stat card, outlining his physical and mental capabilities. Furthermore, it will list all of his wargear, like his trusty ‘klaw and his resilient armor. The Ghazghkull Datasheet also details his special abilities, which are often the key to unlocking his full potential on the battlefield.
Datasheets are used in every phase of the game. In the movement phase, his speed dictates how far he can advance. During the shooting phase, his ballistic skill determines his accuracy with ranged weapons. In the fight phase, his strength, weapon skill, and number of attacks combine to dictate his combat prowess. His toughness and wounds define his resilience against enemy attacks, while his leadership represents his ability to inspire his fellow Orks and resist morale tests. Here are some common elements you’ll find on a datasheet:
- Movement (M)
- Weapon Skill (WS)
- Ballistic Skill (BS)
- Strength (S)
- Toughness (T)
- Wounds (W)
- Attacks (A)
- Leadership (Ld)
- Save (Sv)
Beyond the basic stats, the datasheet also outlines Ghazghkull’s special rules and abilities. These rules can dramatically alter how he interacts with the game world. Some examples include:
- Prophet of the WAAAGH!: Provides buffs to nearby Ork units.
- Gork’s/Mork’s Blessing: Makes him incredibly difficult to kill.
- Unstoppable Green Tide: Reflects his ability to lead a massive Ork horde.
Understanding these special rules is critical for playing Ghazghkull effectively, as they represent his unique strengths and tactical advantages. The datasheet is the definitive source of truth for all things Ghazghkull, and consulting it during gameplay is essential for making informed decisions.
To get a complete understanding of Ghazghkull’s capabilities and special rules, we recommend consulting the most current and official version of the Ghazghkull Datasheet, which is usually found in his model’s packaging or in the relevant Ork Codex.
