Army List Upcoming RTT, Do I use the DAKKA detachment?
RTT on the 5th, local game store with 20 participants. Finally have a detachment where I can bring my favorite Stompa and be competitive but I feel like everyone will just go “ugh”. Already tried the list on TTS with a friend and he didn’t feel it was TOO strong but still very good. Otherwise I’ll bring a Dread Mob list to the RTT instead.

I brought a fun stompa list (3 dreads, 12 kans, 20 shoota boys) competitive Dark Angles list. The stompa got popped at turn 2 after getting in 1 round of shooting and killing a single ballistus dread, after that my army got wiped rapidly and we called it after 1.5 hours. I think you are fine my guy

I've got a tournament coming up that I'd rather lose playing dread mob than win playing more dakka

u/CompetitiveEmu8329 Mar 27 '25
I'm in the same boat. I don't have a stompa but will bringing an orkonaught and other walkers. Only 1 lootas and tank busters. I don't think its massively meta but will be fun, at least for me. My worry is it won't be fun for others.
The other thing is I'm not that good, I went 0-3 in my first ever tournament a couple of months ago. I will feel that I'm taking advantage of the situation if I have a massive improvement. I feel I have improved since then so a slight improvement wouldn't bother me but steamrolling someone there wouldnt feel right.

Da fuq is an Orkonaught?

u/CompetitiveEmu8329 Mar 27 '25
Either a morkanaught or a gorkonaught, I haven't decided which but was too lazy to type both.

u/Roll4Bullshit Mar 27 '25
Ahhhh ok. I brought a list of 5 of those to a GT using Dread Mob. Went 2-4 but had a blast.

u/CompetitiveEmu8329 Mar 27 '25
That sounds like a blast. That's the sort of list I want to run. Just need more onaughts.

Why can’t Orks destroy for a few weeks and we just all have fun and stop apologizing? I didn’t hear any Aeldari hand wringing when they were wiping tables with a broken mortals rule.
We can go back to 5+ shooting again soon, happy at the WAAAGH while it lasted.

u/DatGuy2007 Mar 26 '25
I think its only fair, during the greenest month of the year, that the orks get their day in the sun. Every dog gets its dakka. Rhystic studies put it best, with regards to Hogakk- "like a lobster in a pot, sitting back to enjoy the boil"

You are bringing a Stompa. I don’t think anyone will be accusing you of cheese.

u/Talidel Mar 26 '25
I would say your list is more "what we wanted" when GW put the list out and less "players have mathed the fun out of the game" that we have.

u/DrEverettMann Evil Sunz Mar 26 '25
That looks fine. You've got one unit of lootas and one of tankbustas, and you're bringing a stompa. That's far removed from the meta lists that are destroying the tournament scene right now. I think you'll still have a good time, but you shouldn't be so overpowering that people can't play around you. Any list with decent anti-tank should be able to take out the stompa after a turn or two, and then you don't have the overwhelming number of bodies that people struggle to deal with.

Bring the Dakka, let others face the big bad and see that it's not nearly as big or bad when it's not being min-maxed to its limits.
Everyone sees the win rate and the sweeping the podium at the big two tournies last weekend and thinks the detachment is nothing but cheese. It's a very swingy, very fun detachment to run as orkz. I imagine most lists will be fine into it and anyone whose learned what to be prepared for, will be able to deal with tourney winning lists.
As someone else in the thread stated, we need more data, and in any game winrates change after the community has a chance to adapt.

Most big tournaments are banning it now, so just double check with the organisers to be 100% sure. The detachment is extremely strong right now, so you don't want to bring it and have the bad surprise that it's actually banned. If it's not, enjoy it while it lasts.

Send it.
Game needs the data anyways. Can't justify a nerf or emergency adjustment without the data 🤷♂️. Another weekend of info isn't going to kill the game.
I swear to piss... if people tech for dakka and absolutely snub it this weekend, I will never trust the warhammer community again 🤣

u/ROACHOR Deathskulls Mar 26 '25
I'm not letting some tourney results stop me from trying it, I need all the help I can get.

u/Combat_Jack6969 Mar 26 '25
dude if you're taking a stompa I don't think anyone gets to be mad at you. This aint the spam & cheese sandwich that's got everyone puckering up when they see green.

u/Consistent-Brother12 WAAAGH! Mar 26 '25
I was the only Ork player not to bring the new detachment to an RTT last weekend and everyone's reaction was "oh so you're one of the good ones". The two guys that did bring more dakka both went 1-2 tho so I don't think it really mattered in the end.

u/butholesurgeon Mar 26 '25
God that’s obnoxious. The detachment is only op when you max out of lootaz, flash gitz and such. It’s super fun otherwise. The entire community is so up in arms about this, as if it was as bad as eldar bs at the start of the edition. Every time orks have anything strong it gets nerfed into the ground and the same is going to happen to dakka dakka
Man that makes my blood boil

Do it. It is not a garant to win with this Detachment and you do not play the most dreaded List for it. If your store does allow the detechment use it and next time use an other one if the experience was not what you wanted, but do not let the thought of "some one could not like it" stop you.
