Each fact stays attached to the source that states it. No statistic is inferred from an image or an earlier game.
The role, in context
Slugga Boyz are Ork infantry whose Burna is presented in the multiplayer AMA as a weapon effective against masses of units. The example appears in a discussion of preventing tightly grouped armies and choosing the right tool for the threat. That establishes a crowd-oriented use for the Burna, not a complete profile for Slugga Boyz. It supports a target category, not a universal loadout or complete unit role. The source does not publish their base weapon, cost, squad size, armour, movement, production structure, Burna availability, range, damage area, ability list or unupgraded role.
What is documented over time
The Burna appears in the multiplayer design discussion as an example of how equipment choice and timely ability use can discourage massed formations. Slugga Boyz are not otherwise profiled there, so the source supports a narrow history of design intent: this named weapon contributes to tactical answers for grouped units. It does not establish that the whole unit was built solely for that purpose. No previous Slugga Boyz implementation, changed Burna effect, revised upgrade, balance pass, patch sequence, version comparison or chronological tuning decision is documented.
How it is presented in play
The only documented use is to recognise the Slugga Boyz’ Burna as a weapon effective against masses of units. That supports choosing it when the relevant threat is a grouped force, but the AMA does not define how dense the group must be, how the weapon is acquired or whether it replaces another option. It gives no firing range, area, duration, supporting formation, Commander pairing or preferred engagement sequence. High-level guidance can preserve the broad crowd-pressure role while avoiding an invented upgrade timing, target count, rotation or performance claim.
What you can — and cannot — conclude
The common mistake is to turn one documented weapon example into a complete weakness and counter profile for Slugga Boyz. The AMA says the Burna is effective against masses of units; it does not state that every Slugga Boyz squad carries one, describe the rest of the unit or name what defeats it. A player can correctly identify grouped formations as the Burna’s published problem category, but no armour interaction, vulnerable state, opposing unit class or range limit is provided. Any damage type, focus order, spacing threshold or hard counter would be unsupported.
