War Horde: The 11th-Edition Orks Generalist Detachment

Every Orks model's melee weapons gain Sustained Hits 1 — each unmodified 6 to hit in combat scores an extra hit. It's always on and army-wide, not just Boyz, so everything in your list hits a little harder in melee. The payoff spikes on your Waaagh! turn: the army rule adds +1 Strength, +1 Attack and a 5+ invulnerable save (and charge-after-Advance), and those extra attacks and boosted Strength multiply the value of the sustained hits. War Horde is the detachment that turns the whole horde into a reliable melee blender.

• Unbridled Carnage (Fight) — a unit scores Critical Hits on 5+, turning on far more Sustained Hits. Your damage button on the key combat.
• 'Ere We Go (Movement/Charge) — +2 to Advance and Charge rolls, for reliable turn-two charges.
• Orks is Never Beaten (Fight) — a destroyed mob still piles in and swings before removal.
• 'Ard as Nails (defensive) — -1 to enemy Wound rolls against a key unit.
• Mob Rule — remove Battle-shock from a unit near a 10+-model mob.
• Careen! — a destroyed Deadly Demise vehicle moves before it explodes, potentially into the enemy.

• Headwoppa's Killchoppa — the bearer's melee weapons gain Devastating Wounds, turning critical wounds into mortal wounds on a hard-hitting character.
• Supa-Cybork Body — Feel No Pain 4+, a big survivability bump on your Warlord.
• Kunnin' but Brutal — the led unit can shoot and charge in a turn it Fell Back.
• Follow Me Ladz — +2" Move for the led unit, to close distance faster.

• Warboss (or in Mega Armour) — a cheap, hard-hitting melee character to carry Headwoppa's Killchoppa or Supa-Cybork Body, and a natural Waaagh! caller.
• Nobz / Meganobz — multi-attack elite melee that maximises Sustained Hits and the Waaagh! Strength/Attacks spike.
• Beast Snagga Boyz / 'Ard Boyz — durable objective-holding melee that turns on Sustained Hits across the board.
• Vehicles (Trukks, Battlewagon, Deff Dread, Gorkanaut) — War Horde is the generalist, so mixed armour fits, and Careen! rewards Deadly Demise vehicles.

Choose it as the flexible, all-comers default when you want a mixed list — infantry, characters, walkers and vehicles — rather than a pure horde or a themed build. It's the strongest general-purpose Ork detachment because Get Stuck In is always on and army-wide. It costs the full 3 DP, so it uses your whole 2,000-point budget and can't take a support detachment — the trade-off for its flexibility.

Sample gameplan: deploy a balanced force and use Trukks, Advance and 'Ere We Go to threaten early; screen and hold objectives turns 1-2 while positioning your hammer units. Call the Waaagh! on the turn you can commit multiple charges — the +1 Strength, +1 Attack and Sustained Hits 1 (boosted by Unbridled Carnage's 5+ crits) deliver a devastating multi-unit swing, with the 5+ invuln keeping your Orks alive through overwatch. Squeeze value from dying mobs with Orks is Never Beaten and protect a linchpin with 'Ard as Nails.
