A Kruleboyz battle formation from the 4th-edition Orruk Warclans battletome, focused on survivability against ranged armies. Exact ranges and wording can shift with Battlescrolls - check your current battletome.
What the formation does
While your units are near terrain (reported as wholly within 3"), they cannot be targeted by enemies beyond a set range (reported as 12"), effectively concealing much of the army from long-range fire. On a terrain-dense table this is a powerful anti-shooting tool.
Who it suits
Players facing gunlines or magic-heavy armies who want to walk up the board intact and win in melee and on objectives.
Key units
- Gutrippaz - sticky infantry that advance under concealment.
- Hobgrot Slittaz - cheap screens and objective-grabbers.
- Killaboss - to lead and buff the advance.
- Man-skewer Boltboyz - protected shooting that outlasts the enemy's.
When to pick it
Best on terrain-rich tables and against shooting or ranged-magic armies. Less valuable when the board is open or your opponent is a pure melee force.
Common questions
Does it work on an empty table?
Much less well - the concealment depends on staying near terrain (reported as within 3"), so sparse boards blunt it. Plan your advance around available terrain pieces.
Does it stop melee too?
No - it protects against being targeted at range (reported as beyond 12"). Enemies that close the distance can still charge and fight you normally, so pair it with screens.
