Bomm
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Bomms are Ork air-dropped explosives which are the equivalent of Imperial Bombs.[1]
Ork Bomms can be mounted on almost any ork aircraft, including Fightas[1a], Fighta-Bommers[1b] and Heavy Bommers.[1c]
Types
- Bomm - Standard bomb.[1b]
- Big Bomm - Despite their name, Bigbomms are the smallest type of Ork bombs, carried by Deffkoptas and Warkoptas.[1c]
- Boom Bomm - Boom Bombs, also known as Big Bombs are heavier versions of a standard Ork Bomm. These huge, crude and unsubtle bombs serve as the main armament of Blitza-Bommers.[2]
- Burna Bomm - The Burna Bomb is a variant of a standard Bomm, that can be mounted on Ork Fighta-Bommers or Burna-Bommers. When these bombs explode they blanket vast swathes of the battlefield with burning promethium.[2]
- Mega Bomm - Largest type of Ork bomb dropped from Mega Bommers.[4]
- Grot Bomm - Grot Bomms are small Gretchin-piloted kamikaze aircraft launched by Grot Bommers.[3]
