Tinboyz!
Tinboyz are designed and built by Ork Mekaniaks.
Although the appearance of individual Tinboyz vary a great deal depending on the whim of
their creator, their internal workings are simple and follow a common pattern. They are
all worked by radio control rather than complex programming this is a simpler method of
constructing a robot and the controls are easier to understand. A Mekaniak operates his
Tinboyz from a distance by means of a hefty control box festooned with switches, levers
and flashing lights. The limited number of controls means that Tinboyz can only be given a
simple selection of commands, but these are quite enough to enable them to move about and
attack.
ADDING TINBOYZ TO AN ORK ARMY
In order to include any Tinboyz in an Ork army you
must fust equip a Mekaniak with a control box at a cost of 5 points. Each Mekaniak
equipped with a control box that you take entitles you to include up to four Tinboyz in
the army, at a cost of 70 points each.

SPECIAL RULES:
Tinboyz are immune to psychology and
never break.
CONTROLLING TINBOYZ
A Mekaniak can control and direct up to four
Tinboyz. The Mekaniak's transmitter has a range of 16". If the Mekaniak is more than
16" away from a Tinboy, or if he has been slain, then the Tinboy will go out of
control until it gets back within 16" of the Mekaniak. If a Tinboy goes out of
control then the Ork player must roll on the 'Out of Control' tables below to see how the
model behaves. A separate roll is made in the movement phase and the shooting phase for
each Tinboy that is out of control. Note that Tinboyz that are in base to base contact
with an enemy model in the hand to hand combat phase will always attack, even if the
Tinboy is not in control. At the start of any Ork turn a Mekaniak can order any of the
Tinboyz under his control to self destruct. This destroys the Tinboy, but the resulting
explosion inflicts D6 strength 6 hits with an AP 4 on any model within 3"
of the Tinboy. Note that Tinboyz must self-destruct at the start of the Ork turn, before
any Ork models have moved.
TINBOY DAMAGE
Tinboyz suffer damage in the same way as a
vehicle, but use Toughness instead of an armour value. If the
attack penetrates the armour then roll on the damage table below to see what happens to
the Tinboy.
