Hey Dakka boyz,
I have been posting and gathering a lots of info from DakkaDakka in the past week, and I think my list is ready for the final community judgement. I never been in the tournament scene, but I want to start doing so in this edition. So here is my ''go to'' 1850pts Ork list that I plan on using most of the time:


For strategy, its pretty straight forward:
-Put the Painboy and Mek in the BW with the 18 'Ard Slugga Boyz. Give them more survivability and 2 extra character to take challenge and let the Nob do is bussiness (since the Mek have no use once the package is deliver).
-Warboss on bike with warbikers. Bullying stuff, and maybe taking out some MC that can't challenge him.
-Gretchin sitting home on objective (I have to take 3 troops in order to have the 3 HQ slot)
-MANz missile rushing forward to... well kill stuff
-Tankbusta are gonna try to bust tank.
-I have put a single rokkit on BW to avoid weapon destroy turning into extra HP loss or immobilize (I cant remember now)

So, what do you guys think? Note that I want to stay away from Unbound.

You may want to think about the new formation for orks allowing a WAAAAGH! ever turn (except the first turn)

I made a list close to this but with 6 squads of boyz in trukks it will daunt your opponent to see so many trukks and battlewagons.

But i don't think your list is unbound and i think you qualify for the other formation they have in 7th.

Seems pretty solid though!

Get the Warboss a bosspole

Get the Warboss a bosspole

Oh, that yeah, completly forgot about that. I guess I just assumed he had one haha. All right, where should I take the 5pts for it? Should I just take the BP from the Tankbusta squad?

Probably best to just take 1 less boy

hmm i dont know about the tankbusta nobz pk... seems like a waste of two regular boyz or some hammers...

5 bustaz will die or be on the run after the slightest shooting... so they will never leave the trukk anyway, hence 40 points for a full blown nob seems a bit over the top.

other than that, seems like a nice list

There is no reason for the boss to take eavy armor, he gets a 4+ on the bike already.

I agree with the Tankbustas, you don't need a PK on the nob, take a couple more Tankbustas. I would rather have more Tankbustas also then the bomb Squigs. In fact I would almost leave the Nob out of the squad. As small as it is the pole isn't going to help you anyways when the trukk blows up. So save the points and take another boy.

You don't have objective secured with this list, not that I think that is going to hurt it anyways. Just more a FYI.

With FNP on the boys, eavy armor is a bit over kill in some respects. Those points could be used to add more Tankbustas planks on the wagons and the Manz trukks, to help get the stuck in easier.

Its a good list though. Hope this helps.

I think your list is looking pretty solid man.

Like a couple others already mentioned, the nob with the bustaz isn't really adding much, as is the bomb squigs. So you could drop those and add more bustaz or add on elsewhere.

I also agree with balsak_da_mighty, eavy armor is kinda overkill when you already have fnp. With those saved points you could consider putting a kff big mek on a bike, which could serve that unit and the BW's good, though you'd have to drop your painboy. Depending on your local meta you could also consider adding a few traktor kannons to help against demon and nid's fmc's.

Other than those minor things the list looks nice though. Best of luck!

Hey Boyz ,
After reading all your comments, I went back to the crafting table. The main point I try to fix are:

Get the Warboss a bosspole

i dont know about the tankbusta nobz pk

There is no reason for the boss to take eavy armor

I would rather have more Tankbustas also then the bomb Squigs.

For the overkilled FnP 'Ard Boyz, I can't help it: I love my Boyz 'Ard haha.
So, after a couple tweaking , this my my list:

So what do you think of those tweak?
