Slugga Boy Squad

"Orks, Orks, Orks, Orks! Orks, Orks, Orks, Orks!"

Slugga Boyz or "Choppa Boyz" are the standard Ork and mainstay of the Ork army. They are resilient, inexpensive troops that excel at close-combat. They are equipped with the Ork Choppa and Slugga, making them the standard shock troops for Orks. They are without a doubt the most numerous type of Ork, and are drawn from the youngest Orks, often fresh out of the ground and raring for their first fight. Sometimes a squad of Slugga Boyz will be armed with burnas - powerful cutting torches used in battle to melt enemy armor. These squads refer to themselves as "Burna Boyz." When he is within distance a Burna Boy can crank open the nozzle and unleash a torrent of flame to incinerate foes, even those skulking in cover.

Charge Bonus: once within 7 range of their target when on Assault stance, Slugga boyz gain a +30% movement bonus to their current base speed, enabling them to quickly close the distance with other units into melee.

Tactics

Slugga Boy Squads are the basic melee infantry of the Orks. They are an essential part of any Ork army until Nobz Squads become available. As Orks generally face enemies with superior ranged units, Slugga Boy Squads are needed to force them into melee combat. Slugga Boy Squads can also handle most starting melee infantry like Kroot Carnivores and Howling Banshees. Be sure to maximize squad size to improve morale and equip the squad with burnas to better decrease enemy morale. If the Slugga Boy Squad can break the enemy squad first they are almost certain to win. They should watch out for units like Khorne Berzerker Squads who are not affected by morale damage.

If you plan on using Slugga Boy Squads for the entire game research More Sluggas. This ability lowers Slugga Boy Squads requisition cost to zero. The ability pays for itself once two squads have been built.
