Ork Lootas Datasheet

The Ork Lootas Datasheet is your essential guide to fielding these scrap-loving, heavy-weapon wielding Orks on the tabletop. It contains all the vital statistics and rules needed to effectively deploy and utilize Lootas in your Warhammer 40,000 Ork army. Understanding this datasheet is crucial for maximizing the destructive potential of these walking piles of looted weaponry.

Decoding the Ork Lootas Datasheet

The Ork Lootas Datasheet is essentially a profile card for the unit, containing key information that governs their performance in the game. It outlines their movement speed, toughness, save, wounds, attack characteristics and their weapon profiles. These stats dictate how fast they move, how resilient they are to damage, how many hits they can make in combat, and the damage their weapons inflict. Mastering this information is key to strategically positioning and utilizing Lootas for maximum impact.

Specifically, the datasheet provides details like:

• Movement: How far they can move in the movement phase.
• Weapon Skill (WS) and Ballistic Skill (BS): Their accuracy in melee and ranged combat, respectively.
• Strength (S) and Toughness (T): Used for determining the outcome of melee attacks.
• Wounds (W): How much damage they can sustain before being removed from play.
• Attacks (A): The number of attacks they make in melee combat.
• Save (Sv): Their armor save against incoming attacks.

The datasheet also details the special abilities and weapon profiles unique to Lootas. Their signature weapon, the Deffgun, has a variable number of shots, reflecting the unreliable but potentially devastating nature of Ork technology. Understanding the Deffgun’s profile, including its range, strength, armor penetration (AP), and damage characteristics, is vital for targeting appropriate enemy units. Further, it is key to consider the number of Lootas in your unit. A full squad can put out a ridiculous amount of shots which can overwhelm even heavily armoured opponents.

Here’s a simplified example of what a weapon profile might look like (note that this is just for illustrative purposes):
