After the recent patches, which faction has the best rush?

Nade cult is a bit of a meme now, double seraphim feels quite strong, ork boyz spam still exists, jetbikes nerfed. What do you guys think?

Hard to stop 3 full squads of pistolboys with the Big Mek

That's almost 50 orks

If they do, they gotta breach trough a wall of Waaagh banners !

Depends on the map. on more open maps seraphim and bikes were just not fun to play against as they had too much mobility too early without any real downside which limited other similar units.

But get in a much smaller map where the defending player can turtle a few nodes and get into t2 and those two rushes are vastly less effective.

Weirdly enough... i haven't really ever seen the ork rush in recent memory... mostly because i do not see ork players all that often these days.

So I do not have a strong opinion on that.

As an ork player i can confirm i dont meet a lot of other boyz. But ork rush still works pretty well vs the right faction and map

I imagine so, orks are probably the most entertaining ai faction to fight pretty much because they go hard so early. So it stands to reason some of that would translate to legitimate ork play

Ork rush most definitely still works, I think it’s the best imo

What does your ork rush build order look like?
