Pile O Gunz!

The main research building for the Orks.

Note:The Pile O Gunz! only regenerates Hitpoints when not in combat.

Tactics

Like Da Boyz Hut, the Pile'O'Gunz doubles as a vital teching building and a reasonably solid turret. Its armed only with a Shoota Turret, but its 1200hp of Building Medium armour and any surrounding Waaagh! Banners make it a very effective defensive position, especially if you deploy some Orks to engage any attackers. A lot of players position their PoG very aggressively at the front of an outpost, to strengthen an outpost, clog up a choke point or block an access ramp with it.
