#redirect {{OrksPortal}}[[Image:Lobba.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Standard {{PAGENAME}}{{Fn|3}}]]The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a type of [[Ork Artillery#]] artillery weapon.{{Fn|1}} The Lobba is a large Ork artillery piece firing in high arcs, 'lobbing' a high explosive shell into the air, much like mortars. It is often used to pound enemy infantry squads over intervening obstacles. Most lobbas look like big mortars or rokkits, although the Lobbas used by [[Snakebites]] or other primitive tribes may take the form of a catapult or trebuchet. They are often mounted on various Ork vehicles from [[Gunwagon]]s to [[Battle Fortresses]] or used as Big Guns. When used in this role, Lobbas are [[Grot]]'s favourite artillery pieces, because they don't require for them to expose themselves to the enemy to use them.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} ==Variants==*'''Big Lobba''': A Big Lobba is a more powerful version of the Lobba sometimes mounted on heavy ork vehicles such as [[Big Trakk]]s or Battle Fortresses. It has a bigger blast but the same range as a standard Lobba. It is basically the Ork equivalent of the [[Heavy Mortar]] used by the [[Imperial Guard]].{{Fn|2}}*'''Supa-Lobba''': The Supa-lobba is an even heavier version of the Lobba. It is normally mounted on [[Squiggoth]]s or Battle Fortresses. It works like a normal lobba but is powerful enough to damage heavily armoured tanks. Again, its blast is even bigger but the range is the same.{{Fn|2}} ==Images==<gallery heights="160px" widths="220px" mode="packed" caption="">FW Big Lobba 1.jpg|Big Lobba{{Fn|4}}SupaLobba.jpg|Supa Lobba{{Fn|5}}</gallery> ==Sources==*{{Endn|1}}: [[Codex: Orks (4th Edition)]] pg.51*{{Endn|2}}: [[Imperial Armour Volume Eight - Raid on Kastorel-Novem]] pg.140*{{Endn|3}}: [http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440160a&prodId=prod1620115a GW Website Lobba]*{{Endn|4}}: [http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Orks/ORK_VEHICLES/ORK_BIG_LOBBA.html Forgeworld Big Lobba] ''(last accessed 9 June 2015)''*{{Endn|5}}: [https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Ork-Squiggoth Forge World Squiggoth] ''(last accessed 18 February 2016)''[[Category:Weapons (Orks)]][[Category:Projectile Weapons]]{{OrkWeapons}}
