The GORKANAUT Datasheet. Just the name evokes images of hulking metal monstrosities stomping across the battlefield, crushing anything that dares stand in their way. But what exactly *is* a GORKANAUT Datasheet, and how do Ork players use it to bring the brutal power of these walking engines of destruction to bear? Let’s find out.
Decoding the GORKANAUT Datasheet
The GORKANAUT Datasheet is essentially a stat card, a detailed profile outlining every aspect of a GORKANAUT unit in a Warhammer 40,000 game. It details everything from its movement speed and toughness to the weapons it wields and any special abilities it possesses. Think of it as a blueprint for destruction, allowing players to understand and utilize the GORKANAUT to its fullest potential on the tabletop. Understanding the datasheet is paramount for any Ork player looking to field a GORKANAUT effectively. The datasheet is typically divided into several key sections, each providing vital information. For example, the stats section will define the GORKANAUT’s core attributes like Movement (M), Weapon Skill (WS), Ballistic Skill (BS), Strength (S), Toughness (T), Wounds (W), Attacks (A), Leadership (Ld), and Save (Sv). It also contains a profile of the weapons the GORKANAUT is carrying. These weapon profiles will include:
- Weapon Name: Identifies the weapon.
- Range: How far the weapon can shoot.
- Type: Assault, Heavy, etc.
- Strength: Compared to the target’s Toughness.
- AP: Armor Penetration, reduces the target’s saving throw.
- Damage: How much damage the weapon inflicts.
The datasheet might also include special rules and abilities that further define the GORKANAUT. These can range from rules that modify its attacks in close combat to abilities that grant it increased survivability. For instance, the datasheet may indicate that the model has the “Mob Rule” that provides advantages when near other orks. Understanding and leveraging these rules is crucial for maximizing the GORKANAUT’s impact on the battlefield. Another key element of the GORKANAUT is it’s transport capacity, the datasheet shows how many orks the unit can transport.
| Characteristic | Description |
|---|---|
| Movement (M) | How far the unit can move in inches. |
| Toughness (T) | Resistance to damage. |
| Wounds (W) | How much damage the unit can take before being destroyed. |
| Ultimately, the GORKANAUT Datasheet is the definitive guide to using this iconic Ork war machine. It provides all the information needed to strategically deploy, maneuver, and unleash the GORKANAUT’s destructive potential upon your enemies. To gain a deeper understanding of the specific stats, abilities, and weapon profiles of the GORKANAUT, consult the official Warhammer 40,000 rulebook or the relevant Ork Codex where the complete and most up-to-date datasheet is located. |
