Fighty Bitz

Choppa/Club

While lacking the finesse and adornments of a Mektown made Choppa or Club, these a big lumps of sharp metal and heavy stone that allow Fickies and Wildboyz to inflict just as much damage.
See page 53 of Da Roolz for the statline.

‘Uge Choppa/Club

A particularly large chunk of debris, tossed into the Howling Hills, stuck on the tree-trunk like branches of the mushrooms that grow in the Howling Hills and given to the most focussed looking Wildboy is a recipe for carnage at the best of times.
See page 53 of Da Roolz for the statline.

Spear

Ideal for hunting small squigs at range and dealing with larger ones up close, these are one of the simplest weapons ever made. Good thing too as the guys wielding them might be the stupidest creatures ever to draw breath.
See page 54 of Da Roolz for the statline.

Weirdboy Staff

When a Weirdboy joins a mob of Feral Orks, the elder Weirdboyz present him with a staff with a shiny piece of metal on top of it. This acts as a conductor for the Waaagh!!! fizzing inside his head, helping him to direct it in positive ways like making heads explode as opposed to negative ways like making his own Boyz heads blow up.

See page 12 of Digganob for the statline.

Further details on Weirdboy staff can be found in the Weirdboyz section.

Huntin' Stuffz

Bow

1 toof
Not the most deadly of weapons on Angelis, but it'll stop a squig in its tracks from a considerable distance, if the damn thing will just hold still...

See page 55 of Da Roolz for the statline.

Crossbow

1 toof
Cunning Feral Ork engineers have devised a bow that stays pulled back even if you forget that you're holding it, cutting finger loss in a mob by over 30%.

Rules

See page 55 of Da Roolz for the statline.

Bolas

1 toof

Given the number of legs a squig can have, several bolas might be needed to bring a big one down. Funnily enough, it only takes one bola to bring down even a full grown Ork if its big enough and thrown hard enough.

Rules

See page 59 of Da Roolz for the statline.

Sling

2 teef
A simple thong made of leathery squig hide allows a Feral Ork to chuck rocks with greater strength and precision. Of course the squigs aren't always happy about Orks trying to harvest their leather.

Special Rules. If the warrior doesn't move he may fire twice at short range.

Boomerang

3 teef

Discovered when an Ork threw a bent piece of metal at a squig and missed. To his immense surprise the piece of metal came back, smacking him in the head as it did so. Before long, everyone was trying it, with mixed results. Feral Ork boomerangs can't be thrown by anyone else as its the Waaagh!! that really gives them their returning property. They don't always come back when thrown by Feral Orks either. Usually because they're stuck in something's ribcage.

Special Rules. May be used while running.

Armour

Shield

1 toof

Feral Orks don't have anything as clever as a fabricated shield. These are usually panels or airlock doors they find strewn around the Skid.

See page 59 of Da Roolz for the statline.

Boss Gear

Big Hamma

3 teef
A fearsome weapon of such tremendous weight that only a Brute can carry one - when this weapon descends at speed, whatever it hits stays down. Essentially a small boulder on the end of a handle of some sort, a Big Hamma is incredibly clumsy, but terrifyingly dangerous too.

Special Rules. Loses draws. Fumbles count double. Two-handed. Reduces wielder's Movement by 1".

Iron Hide

5 teef
After beating a mob, Feral Orks shred vehicles as trophies and cobble the leftovers into armour. Although it still looks like bit of trukk wrapped round an Ork it's much tougher that the armour of even a successful Nob. Only a Brute has the strength to wear such a "garment" and still fight and even he will be slowed by it.

Iron Hide confers a 4+ armour save and reduces the wearer's Movement by 1". It also halves their Initiative, rounding up.

Big Game Huntin'

Spika Kannon

9 teef
Feral Ork are rather primitive and are gearing up for battle with much gusto. Their ideas are simple and their technology is nothing more than sticks and stones, but they still try their hand to fight the good fight. The Spike Kannon exists in many ways, shapes and forms and unsurprisingly, with varying results. Some stones will be too big to throw and it will crumple slightly, other spikes might get lodged in the splinters of a badly made blowpipe.

To represent the inconsistent and unreliable design of the Spika Kannon, rolling a sustained fire dice suggests it never shoots the same way twice; sometimes hurtling two or three bitz at the enemy, sometimes only one, and sometimes things just go horribly horribly wrong.

Splattapult

13 teef
Relatively crude, the brightest of Weirdboyz have managed to cobble together something resembling the Splattapault and stuck it on the back of a mighty squiggoth. Although, it could be argued by an outside observer that the Gretchin Revolutionary Kommittee quite likes the idea of Orks that are willing to take direction from "runty Weirdboyz" and might have left a few lying around as a way of eliminating the Mektown Orks.

See page 38 of Digganob for the statline.

Special Rules. Cannot be fired if the Squiggoth thrusted.

Uvver Stuff

Squiggly Sausages

1 toof
A delicious treat of squigmeat, Wildboyz can use these single-use items to add to their leadership score when attempting to bring their squig back from runnin' wild. There is no limit to the number that may be used in a turn but they must be assigned to a specific Ork and cannot be transferred during a game.

Rock Chuckin'

Feral Orks don't have access to anything as advanced as grenades, but they do have some thrown weapons, namely rocks. More intelligent Orks favour nice shiny weapons, but Fickies are rather primal and enjoy pelting things with stones.
Fickies may hurl rocks at a target instead of firing a weapon, inflicting a S2 hit. Multiple Fickies may combine forces to create a much more effective attack. Each additional Fickie adds +1 to the Strength of the attack.

1. Nominate a large target (Vehicles, Fort Gates, etc..). Small targets cannot be targeted.

2. Determine whether the Fickies are working together or throwing individually.

3. Measure range from furthest away Fickie.

4. Roll an Artillery Dice and halve the result. A Misfire result means no rocks hit their target.

5. If the result is the same or greater than the range to the target then a successful hit is scored.

Example: Five Fickies throw rocks at a fort gate. They can either inflict five S2 hits, or combine them to create a single S6 hit. The range is measured as 4" to the gate. The player rolls the Artillery dice and gets a 10, giving a maximum range of 5". The gate is within range and so is hit.

In campaign games where experience points are earned for penetrating armour Rock Chuckin' does not confer +5 experience for each Fickie hurling rocks. Instead a penetrating hit will give +1 experience to each Fickie involved in the attack being resolved.

Leadership Challenges

In a Feral Ork mob it comes down to who is the biggest and toughest to lead, regardless of smarts, planz, or any other clever stuff. Feral Orks know where they stand when it comes to being da 'ardest and so if a Wildboy ends significantly 'Arder than the mob's current Brute, he's going to make it clear who the new boss is.

If a Wildboy's Strength and Toughness characteristics exceed those of the current mob leader a leadership challenge will occur at the earliest opportunity, as per the Pit Fights rules on page 66 of Da Uvver Book. Ignore results of Shooty in the restrictions table on page 67 of Da Uvver Book, instead treat a roll of 1, 2, or 3 as Cunnin' and a roll of 4+ as 'Ard.

Only Wildboyz will ever challenge the Brute as Fickies are too thick to try and the Weirdboy has enough on his plate summoning the powers of the beyond!

Driver and Gunner Disputes

Feral Orks may be dimmer than most but they still know an important job when they see it and firing the Spika Cannon or telling the Squiggoth where to go is a coveted position, sometimes carrying with it extra yummies if they do well. As a result, Driver and Gunner disputes are resolved just like any other Ork mob (See "Slop Shops and Brewhouses", page 66 of Da Uvver Book).

Deaths of Warriors

Just as with normal mobs, if a Feral Ork dies all of his equipment is lost and cannot be re-allocated to another model (see "Death of a Warrior", page 68 of Da Uvver Book).

Death of a Leader

Sometimes the bigger they are, the harder they fall and they don't come much bigger than the Brutes. When a Brute dies as a result of battle, the pecking order is almost immediately re-established. Add the Strength and Toughness of each Wildboy together and the one with the highest total number is designated the new Brute. In the event of a tie resolve a leadership challenge as detailed above. If there are no Wildboyz in the mob then you must hire one at the earliest opportunity.

Feral Orks and Other Mobs

Feral Orks and Captives

Feral Orks will never pay or accept a ransom but will exchange captives. Should that not be an option one rescue attempt may be made but if it fails then the warrior is killed and all equipment lost. Feral Orks cannot make use of any weapons or equipment a captive had but they don't go hungry either, which is represented by some extra income from the captive. Muties and their mount have plenty of meat on them and earn a mob 2D6 teef, Orks are provide D6 teef of yummies, as do tasty Diggas and Dust Rats, Grots are only worth D3 teef, and Snots are nothing but a mouthful and so give nothing.

Captured vehicles cannot be eaten, although one or two fickies are bound to try, but the shiny parts can be bartered with other Feral Orks for 3D6 teef.

Feral Orks as Captives

As previously mentioned, Feral Orks will exchange captives but cannot pay ransoms and must instead play a rescue scenario. As with normal mobs, equipment captured with a warrior who is not exchanged may be kept and used by the capturing mob, with the exception of Brute equipment (Big Hamma and Iron Hide). Feral Orks can be forced to work in mines but will only ever generate D3 teef each.

Squiggoths/Squig mounts captured by enemies behave as if they were vehicles in terms of selling them off for scrap as they provide a nice slab of squig meat for those in desperate need of some munchin' (see page 54 of Da Uvver Book).

WAAAAAAAAGH!

Suddenly: RULES!

Yes, it may seem a bit crazy, but we’ve just published just about everything for The Feral Orks. They’re beta rules, of course, but we’ve done our best to test them out; Skippy and Flamekebab have been running weekly tests sometimes with the help of Mattzm and Depiff.

As we said with the Dust Rats:

This is an open beta test, which means that these rules are not finalised and some things may be changed before the final release. That said, we encourage you to try out the rules and give us feedback as that is what this is for. We can test them in-house but we’re only a small group of people and we simply don’t have enough time to try out every permutation. So, please, try out the rules and tell us which bits are broken or unbalanced!

UPDATE:

The complete PDF is done now and you can get it here.

Download PDF

Wot? No PDF?

There will be a PDF soon. Flamekebab is being dragged from his lair as we speak to be put to work in the DTP mine. With any luck they’ll be done by early next week. In the meantime this post should make it easier to find what you’re looking for.

Note on Squigz and Boars - In the 'Ere Be Stuff expansion we use the term squig to refer to the units that Feral Ork Wildboyz can ride. Since these rules are based on the rules for Boar Riderz, also known as Snortaz, the two terms are used almost entirely interchangeably in this expansion. If you want your Feral Orks to ride pigs and sit atop a massive boar as they wade into battle, that’s also awesome.

Mightee Steedz

While plenty of squigs of various sizes and shapes grow around Mektown, the arid conditions aren't even close to ideal for them. Up in the Howling Hills however, the cool air, more frequent rainfall and volcanic ash provide an environment that makes all things Orky grow a bit better and bigger. Mighty mushroom stalks like redwood trees came first, providing cool shade and then the squigs began to grow. And grow. And grow! Giant squiggoths roam the mushroom groves, eating the flora and fauna without discrimination. The Weirdboyz have found they can exert some degree of control over these behemoths and at Weirdboy's direction, have put them to work in fighting the other denizens of Angelis, serving as mighty mounts carrying the squabbling Feral Orks into battle.

Squiggoth movement

Squiggoths are large and lumbering but can give a fair bit of speed if whipped enough as long as the driver doesn't get too over enthusiastic and lose control of the beastie.
Squiggoths move like Ork traks, i.e. 6" gas engines, 5" thrust, however as soon as a thrust test is failed the driver has over done it and must roll on the Rampaging Squiggly Beast table.
Rampaging Squiggly Beast Table

• **1 - Rampage!
  **The beast counts as having no driver for this turn (see pg. 34 of Da Roolz). Next turn the driver must pass a leadership test in order to regain control or the beast continues rampaging.
• 2 - Charges 2D6" in a random direction (roll the scatter dice to determine which direction)
• 3 - The beast bucks wildly, throwing any crew off (does not include the driver, who has reins to hold onto). Each crew member may attempt to stay aboard by rolling equal or under their Strength, if they succeed they are unaffected but can do nothing else this turn.
• 4+ - The beast lumbers 5" forward

Slow speed manoeuvres

Squiggoths may perform slow speed manoeuvres as detailed on page 32 of Da Roolz.

Ramming and Squashing Models On Foot

Squiggoths are snarling behemoths and their simple brute and ferocious nature is testament to that. They eat anything they can chew and headbutt everything else. This is represented in game terms in that it can ram like any other vehicle with one exception, in head-on collisions with other vehicle they simply are not as tough. In the case of a head-on ram with another vehicle (this does not apply to other Squiggoths...they're quite soft-headed) it will only inflict D3 damage on its opponent, instead of the usual D6 damage.
While trukks, traks and buggies rely on their crew to inflict most of the damage, Feral Orks struggle to keep the Squiggoths from causing too much. Their snarling snapping maws often maul anyone foolish enough to stand too close. Models on foot that are run down, raked, or sideswiped by a Squiggoth will take a S5 hit, rather than the S3 hits as detailed on page 39 of Da Roolz.

Squiggoth Hit Location Table

1. Crew (randomly determined member) - Armour Value: 8
One of the 'invaluable' members of the crew has been hit. If there is more than one crew member, randomly determine which one it is before rolling on the table below for damage. Any warrior that goes down while on the vehicle, topples over the edge landing D3" away from it in a randomly determined direction, suffering a further S3 hit on the roll of 4+.
If there is no crew on the Squiggoth then the driver is hit instead.

• 1-3 Stray Shot! The crew member is lucky enough to dodge out the way. Unfortunately, none of his other mobsters are as aware of their surroundings. Randomly determine any model on the Squiggoth (except the driver). He takes a S3 hit.
• 4 Impaled! The crew member is jostled by the hit, falling back into some pointy shrapnel. He takes a single S4 hit.
• 5 Lost footing! The crew member struggles to remain standing and must roll under his strength on a D6 to remain on the Squiggoth. If failed, he falls, landing D3" away from the Squiggoth in a randomly determined location, taking a S4 hit.
• 6 Hit! The crew member takes the hit from the weapon as normal. In the event of a ram, swipe, rake, crash or collision, he takes a S3 hit.

2. Fixed Weapon - Armour Value: 8
The fixed weapon is hit! Roll a D6 to determine the results. In the event the Squiggoth has no fixed weapon, then the crew is hit instead.
If the Squiggoth has no fixed weapons then the crew is hit instead.

• 1 Me 'and! The gunner (for Orky reasons) got his hand stuck in the dakka end. Getting it out was quick and painless for him, but the weapon needs a quick fix. The weapon cannot fire in the mob's next shooting phase.
• 2 Bent! It is frustrating enough to aim one way and it to fire the other, but now the thing is bent, firing off to one side. The gunner may continue to use the weapon but does so at -1 BS for the remainder of the game (this penalty does not apply to firing any other weapons).
• 3 Blocked! The hit has dislodged a worky bit that keeps getting stuck when trying to reload. The weapon may still fire as normal, but takes a whole turn to reload. (The weapon cannot be used the next turn, but the turn after.)
• 4-5 Broken Trigger! The weapon is relatively undamaged, except that the trigger has broken off and nobody has realised...or even noticed. The weapon cannot be used for the rest of the battle.
• 6 TWANG! The tiny thread of rope binding the weapon together has snapped, flinging wood, squig bitz and bow strings everywhere! The weapon cannot be used for the rest of the battle and the Gunner receives a S2 hit.

3. Gubbinz - 8
If the Squiggoth has any Gubbins then randomise which is hit. On a 4+ it is damaged and can't be used for the rest of the battle. It will be automatically repaired before the next game.
If there are no Gubbins then the Squishy Bitz are hit.

4. Legs - 8

• 1-3 Hamstrings are Gammy things! Its hard to run with bullets and shrapnel in your legs, so its no surprise that the Squiggoth slows down. It is at -1 Movement for both regular and thrusting movements. This is cumulative and if it reaches 0, it is immobilised and crippled.
• 4 Taken aback! The blow to the legs has sent the Squiggoth off balance. It swerves before rolling on the Rampage table.
• 5 'Urty Bitz! The hit gets the Squiggoth in a sensitive area that is agonizing. Roll on the Rampage table to see the results. On the result of 4+, instead of lumbering forward 5", it is immobilised and crippled, representing just how much damage was done on the inside.
• 6 Swept off ya feet! The Squiggoth's feet are almost literally kicked out from under it and it falls flat on its face. It is immobilised (but not crippled).

5. Driver – 8
If there is no driver then the Squishy Bitz are hit instead.

• 1 Close Call! The shot buries itself in the driving seat without even touching the driver. It as no effect.
• 2 Whoops! It was such a close call that the driver wasn't paying attention and must take a leadership to regain control. If failed, roll on the Rampage table.
• 3 Impaled! The crew member is jostled by the hit, falling back into some pointy shrapnel. He takes a single S4 hit.
• 4-6 Hit! The driver is hit by the weapon as normal. In the event that it was a collision, ram, rake, swipe or crash. He receives a S4 hit.

6. Squishy Bitz - 10

• 1 Buck! The Squiggoth rears up in pain. Roll on the Rampage table to see the effects. After the results, the Squiggoth is deemed crippled and immobilise.

• 2 Stagger! The Squiggoth goes into some sort of daze from the force of the blow. It staggers D6" in randomly determined direction before just lying down. It is the driver's fun job of waking it up. Roll a D6 each time you are trying to get it to move.

  • 1 Roll on Rampage Table
  • 2-4 It remains still
  • 5 It can move, but no thrusters
  • 6 Immobilised and crippled.

• 3 Don't Panic! The events of the battle are making the Squiggoth as stubborn as it is bad tempered. The driver has to whip it to get it to go anywhere. The Squiggoth can only move as if it is thrusting for the remainder of the game.

• 4 Hang on! The Squiggoth bolts forward as if its being whipped. It must thrust forward until the player fails a thrust test or it hits something.

• 5 'Ope dat wazn't important... Something blue and wibbly is hanging out of the Squiggoth and oozing. Seeing as Red 'Unz go fasta, it becomes clear that blu' 'unz slow you down. The Squiggoth slowly lumbers around before tiring, collapsing in a messy heap. It is immobilised and crippled.

• 6 Troublesome beast! The Squiggoth has been put off by all the action. The driver must pass a leadership test each time in order to control it. If passed, it acts as normal. If failed, it swerves and moves D6" forward.

Squiggoth Permanent Damage Table

• 11-13 Dead!

  • A combination of blood loss, organ damage and general mistreatment have caused the Squiggoth to die. If one mob bottled out, the other gains an extra 2D6 teef stripping the carcass for tasty meat if they leave a Boy (or equivalent unit) to strip it. The model left to strip the carcass doesn't contribute anything else to the mob's income this game.

• 14-16 Badly Mangled

  • The Squiggoth has taken severe damage and is barely alive. Roll a further D6 times on the permanent damage table, ignoring Dead, Captured, Furious Regeneration or Minor Injuries.

• 21-22 Tender Areas

  • The damage has made the Squiggoth more vulnerable to attacks. Reduce it's armour over all areas by 1.

• 23-24 Exposed Nerves

  • The damage has exposed some nerve beds, making it easier to harm the Squiggoth . Any rolls on the Squishy Bitz table are at a +1

• 25-26 Numb Areas

  • The Squiggoth has numbed areas around where its reins are attached, making it harder for it to interpret steering commands. When making a leadership check to turn or swerve, its taken at a -1 penalty.

• 31-32 Stumbling Gait

  • The Squiggoth legs don't quite move in sync any more, violently rocking all aboard. All ranged attacks made from the squiggoth are taken at a -1 penalty.

• 33-34 Gammy Leg

  • The Squiggoth has a hobbling limp and its movement is reduced by D3". Roll now to find out how much to subtract from its movement score.

• 35-36 Stubborn

  • The Squiggoth has a bad attitude as a result of being shot, rammed, burned and poked all the time. Before a battle, roll a D6. On a one, the squiggoth cannot be persuaded to behave and is not available for the battle.

• 41-56 Minor Injuries

  • The damage isn't as bad as it could have been. A few delicious squigs and a tickle in just the right spot will make sure the beast is ready for the next battle.

• 61-63 Captured

  • The enemy mob has captured the squiggoth and is going to cut it up for food to eat and sell for which they will gain 2D6 Teef. The Feral Orks have one chance to recapture their squiggly beast before it ends up between two slices of fungus bread, using the normal vehicle recovery scenario.

• 64-65 Battle Scarred

  • The beast has many mighty slashes and scars all over it making it look tougher and scarier. All warriors on board the vehicle have +1 to Leadership, riding atop the seemingly invincible behemoth.

• 66 Furious Regeneration

  • The battle has triggered a flood of signal compounds which have activated a flurry of mitosis and cellular regeneration. The Squiggoth is healed of all permanent damage by the process and has no further effects.

Squig Ridin'

Squigz are wild, dangerous and at the best of times, utterly unmanageable. Still, occassionally mad Wildboyz will attempt to ride on the bigger squigz and with a little patience and lots of delicious yummies as incentive, the squigz can be persuaded to at least bite enemies before allies.

Becoming a Squig Rider

When a Wildboy wants to become a Squig Rider he must go off into the Howling Hills to find a Squig to call his own. When you purchase a Squig for him to ride, the Wildboy misses his next battle while he trains the squig not to kill him and to tolerate him riding it into battle. After one battle has elapsed, the Wildboy returns to your mob, dead chuffed as his new pet runs roughshod over his enemies. Squigz purchased at mob creation are available immediately without the one battle waiting period but any purchased subsequently must undergo the training period.

Movement

An Ork riding a Squig moves at 7". Squigz can charge and gallop in exactly the same way as muties, but since squigz are considerably less co-operative than Mutie Beasts, Wildboyz cannot fire on the gallop, or set Overwatch. Due to the roaring and slavering, Squig Riderz cannot hide.

Shooting from a Squig

Squig Riderz have a 90 degree fire arc to the front just like a footer. Feral Orks can use the following Ranged Weapons when mounted on a Squig: Boomerang, Spear, Sling, Bolas. Regular Bows and Crossbows can be used if the Ork passes a successful initiative check but if he fails, the Squig goes wild. See Squigz Wild!! for a description of how this functions.
Shooting at Squig Riderz: Shooting at a Squig Rider follows the same procedure as normal. If the Squig moves at over 10", there is an additional -1 to hit modifier due to the speed (and dustcloud!) Squig Riderz are not driven off by enemy fire like Muties are. In fact they're more likely to charge the enemy!

Close Combat

Squig are brutal in close combat and give the Rider an additional attack in melee combat. When mounting a Wildboy on a Squig, be sure to add +1 to his attack statistic!
Saving Throws: Due to the shifting, rampaging nature of the Squig, Squig Riderz have a natural 6+ armour save, just like Muties.

Picking up and carrying Scrap Counters

Riderz must stop for a turn to pick up Scrap just like Muties, they suffer no movement penalty for carrying it and may only carry one counter.
Attacking Vehicles: Riderz do not dismount in battle. When they attack a vehicle they test initiative as normal, but do not board the vehicle. A Rider who successfully attacks a vehicle fights a crew member as normal, but the crewman will only fall off his vehicle if he goes down, and the Rider is simply moved out of contact with the vehicle if he loses, in addition to any wounds he may take. The vehicle may move away from the Rider in its next movement phase as normal, but may not sideswipe the Squig Rider.

Squigz and Forts

Squigz cannot climb fort walls, and therefore will need to destroy the gate of the fort to get in. Squigz count as footers when trying to get through holes in the gate.

Squigz Wild!!

While Wildboyz may claim to have "tamed" their squig, it couldn't be further from the truth. The only thing keeping the Squig in any semblance of line is the reigns the Orks have crudely lashed to them. Dropping these for even a moment will be taken as an act of weakness (or deliciousness) and the squig will attempt to escape. The details of when this can happen are listed below.

• **Rider goes down
  **A Squig automatically Goes Wild if its rider goes Down. If the rider goes Out of Action, the squig runs away- remove the model as usual.
• **Gets Bitten
  **Wild Squigz bite everything in sight, including other Squigz!. If a Wild Squig moves within 1" of another Squig, then the rider must pass a Leadership test or his squig goes wild as well!
• **Gets Rammed
  **Any attempt to Sideswipe or Run Over a Squig Rider will not be taken well. Once the attack has been resolved, the rider must pass a Leadership test to control his Squig, even if the attack missed or did no damage.
• **Grabbin’ Scrap
  **Grabbing a Scrap counter means letting go of the reigns. Oops. The rider must test his Leadership after digging up some scrap. If he fails, the squig goes wild, but the Scrap is still collected.

Squigz Gone Wild

A Wild Squig moves D6" in a random direction determined by scatter dice at the start of the movement phase, Due to the delicate means needed to regain control through beating, yelling and biting, the Ork is too busy to engage in ranged combat until he regains control of his squig. During the Recovery Phase, the Wildboy can attempt to regain control of his squig by making a Leadership roll. If he passes, the squig will calm down a little and can be directed as normal again. If a Wild Squig moves into contact with an enemy model it immediately begins the happy task of chewing on the enemy and combat will proceed as normal with the Squig Rider counting as having charged the enemy.The squig will be under the riderz control again after the combat resolves. If the rider is down when this happens however, he is put Out of Action and the model is removed from play. Wild Squigz never willingly attack vehicles and stop 1" short of a vehicle if wild movement would bring them into contact with it.

Changing Riderz

Occasionally an Ork will no longer be suitable for riding a squig and the reins must be passed to another. To transfer ownership of squig to another wildboy, both the current and future rider must miss a battle while the current rider shares his secrets of how he got the squig to not kill him.

Death of a Rider

If a squig rider dies as a result of battle, there's no time to pass on the secrets of what persuaded this particular squig to tolerate him and it runs off into the wilderness in the wake of its riders death.

Here we go, Feral Orks! There’s no photos at the moment as Midnight hasn’t quite finished them all yet. More to come. Huge thanks go out to Skippy, Mattzm, Depiff, and Flamekebab for making these rules possible.

Mob layout

Brute
Your mob must include one Brute.

Weirdboy
Your mob must include one Weirdboy.

Wildboyz
You may include as many Wildboyz as you can afford.

Fickies
At least half of your warriors (50%) must be Fickies. You may take more than this if you wish, but should your mob fall below the threshold you must hire more Fickies at the earliest opportunity.

Squiggoths
Your mob needs sufficient transport for all of them. When buying squiggoths you must allocate them a Wildboy, Brute, or Weirdboy to act as the creature's driver. If there is a fixed weapon then a gunner must also be chosen. Neither of these two positions can be held by a Fickie.

Squig Riders
Ridin' Squigs are purchased separately from the Wildboy that rides them and the Wildboy must skip one battle training and working with the squig so that it doesn't immediately try to kill him. Fickies cannot ride squigs as they are too dumb to remember to fight and hold on at the same time. A Wildboy mounted on a squig adopts a new statline that combines both his and the squigs stats in a manner similar to a Mutie Raider. Further details can be found in the Ridin' Squigz section of the rules.

Weapons
Feral Orks use their own weapons list, found in the Armoury section.

Brute

Cost: 12 teef

A tower of terrifying muscles, teeth and rage, these brutes lead a Feral Ork mob into battle, often with their Big Hammas leading the charge!

Weapons: Brutes may be equipped with anything from the Fighty Bitz, Huntin' Stuffz, Armour, and Boss Gear lists.

**SPECIAL RULES
**Unlike other mob leaders, Brutes do not gain a bonus to their Leadership after winning their first game, however for the purposes of Fear their leadership is at +1 - they're a bit too dim to be properly frightened of most things!
(see Feral Orks & Campaign for details on challenging Da Brute)

Weirdboy

Cost: 10 teef

A Feral Ork mob must have 1 Weirdboy, no more, no less. If your Weirdboy is killed you must replace him at the earliest opportunity.
Fizzing with the power of da Waaagh!!, these little fellas pour the raw essence of Gork and Mork through their comrades and channel it through their staffs to make lightning, fire and other bizarre effects! Weapons: All Weirdboyz carry a Weirdboy Staff which they can use in combat and is factored into their cost. Additionally Weirdboyz may be equipped with anything from the Fighty Bitz, Huntin' Stuffz, and Armour lists.

SPECIAL RULES
Pinning: Feral Ork Weirdboyz are subject to pinning.
Weirdboy Powers: Weirdboyz have a special set of skills or "powers" which only they can acquire. See the section on Weirdboyz later on for a detailed description.

Wildboyz

Cost: 4 teef

In Mektown, these Orks would be close to being Nobs. If only they could spell it. However, what they lack in cunnin', they make up for in sheer Orkyness! Each Brute has a few of these around to help keep the Fickies in line and for certain special skills like squig riding. Or walking and talking at the same time. Weapons: Wildboyz may be equipped with anything from the Fighty Bitz, Huntin' Stuffz, and Armour lists.

Fickies

Cost: 2 teef

Thicker than minced squig, in a real Ork army these guys would be nothing but cannon fodder. However, between the Brutes roaring and the Weirdboyz throbbing head veins, these slabs of muscle can be put to devastating use. As long as they don't knock too many lumps out of each other first. Weapons: Fickies may be equipped with anything from the Fighty Bitz, and Huntin' Stuffz lists.

SPECIAL RULES
Fickies Psychology: Fickies are under the Fickies psychology rules at all times.
Drivers and Gunners: Fickies can never act as drivers or gunners.
Tuffin' it out: When Fickies reach the starting experience threshold for Wildboyz they automatically gain +1 T in addition to any other stat increases they may have accrued. This does not allow them to exceed the maximum statline however.

Vehicles

The Feral Orks have almost none of the genetic mechanical knowledge that Mektown Orks have and as far as can be told, no Mekboyz have ever appeared in their society, seemingly replaced by an overabundance of Weirdboyz. As a result, the Feral Orks turned to the squiggly beasts as a source of transport in order to haul vast loads and compete with the vehicles of the Mektown Orks. There are two types of squiggly beast available for purchase in a Feral Ork mob, the squiggoth and the riding squig.
The squiggoth is an exceptionally large squig though not perhaps as large as those fielded by a true Ork Waaagh!!! The beast lumbers along, directed by reigns and having large platforms attached to it by whatever means necessary, even by forcing the pieces through the skin until they stay put. The lads all pile on and ride these somewhat unsteady ships of the desert into battle.
The riding squig is equivalent to an Ork as a horse would be to a human except that it has a temperament more akin to an angry bull and teeth like an entire armoury of chainswords. Some Wildboyz go out into the Fungus Groves and attempt to tame these beasts to use as mounts. While the end result is far from what any animal trainer would call tame, the beast will at least tolerate being ridden long enough to occasionally be an asset in combat.

Squiggoth - 15 teef
Squig mount - 5 teef

Drivers and Gunners

When purchasing a Squiggoth a driver must be assigned, just like any other vehicle. If a fixed weapon is mounted then a gunner must also be chosen.
