In the older codex (3rd edition, I think), there was a unit called stikk bombas. They were pretty much just boyz with stikkbombs. That unit was removed in the current codex.

So yes, they really are just boyz with stikkbombs.

 

Are the models anygood?

 

They're Slugga Boyz, but instead of choppas they have Stikkbombz. Up to you wether they're good or not.

I had a squad, the stik bombz are metal and they just came with the normal plastic boyz. Quite characterful.

I'm not really an ork player though, but they certainly didn't look bad.

There's no current application for them. They were a very redundant choice in the already congested troop section of the 3rd ed ork codex. Not many people took them over the more useful sluggas, shootas, gretchen, etc., and so they weren't included in the 4th ed dex.

Personally I wouldn't buy them as they wouldn't work well for you in any wysiwyg tournaments you might play in. If that doesn't matter to you, and they're dirt cheap, you could always pick them up and use them as slugga boyz or maybe kommandos.

 

Using them as Kommandos would be cool (And cheap; the FW kit and the GW metals mean that if you want a full squad of fifteen you need to mortgage your house and sell your body for medical experiments).
