Stormboyz

"First to fight wins!"

Stormboyz are fierce Ork warriors who are willing to gamble with their lives (and their sanity) by strapping fuel-filled rockets to their backs, utilizing them as jump packs to blast around the battlefield quickly, avoiding terrain that is normally impassable. They are equipped for close-combat with the standard Ork Choppa and Slugga. Stormboyz are poor troops to make solo frontal assaults because of their low health for their cost, but excellent hit-and-run troops. Obsessed with speed, they possess an almost suicidal willingness to fly headfirst into combat with a reckless abandon that almost makes other Orks look sane.

Note that Da Boyz Hut has a 20% production bonus, giving Stormboyz a build time of 18.4 s.

Tactics

Compared to Slugga Boyz, Stormboyz have more health, more armor, but are unable to use flamers. However, they are much more mobile and have access to the stikk bombz ability. Stormboyz are intended less for straight out fights with other melee units than performing hit and run attacks and taking down ranged enemies. The most powerful ranged infantry units (like Fire Warriors) will generally be behind a wall of units, which Stormboyz can bypass with their jump packs. They can then easily defeat them in melee combat. If there are multiple ranged squads it is prudent to disrupt one with stikk bombz while attacking the other. If the Stormboyz take too much damage they can always jump out of combat and rebuild their strength.
