Hey guys im gonna be playing 40k in a few days with a friend and he wanted to know what point value my army was. I have a codex but it has been a few years since I used it and cannot find it. What i have right now is

-~40 slugga/choppa boys I might have enough parts to get 10 more boys out
- ~10 nobs w/ grot ammo runt
- assault on blackreach warboss
- big mek with shokk attack gun
- looted wagon
- painboy w/ grot orderly
- 8 lootas and big mek w/ custom mega blasta
- 5 burna boys

I want something small so 500 points is good. Can you guys help me out and make an army. Thanks to anyone who helps and if you guys need more info lemme know.

500 points is really small format try 750.
1) split boyz in 2 groups of 20-25 boyz
2) What nob equipment you have? They are great but coest a lot of points
3)Warboss take him as your HQ. Give him eavy armor, power klaw and lucky stikk
5) Very specific unit don`t take him
6)Can be found only in white dwarf now
7)Besy used in nobz or boyz squads
8) Take all lootas you have but without mek
9) Good unit but better take lootas

At 500 points there isn't much you can take besides 2 troops and an HQ. Take the Warboss and two squads of at least 20 boys. Put a nob in every squad. Give the Warboss and the Nobz power klaws. Heavy armour on the Warboss is mandatory. If you have points left - take the Lootas (without the mek) or a Looted Wagon with a Killkanon (if you have the Datasheet).

Low point values is actually an advantage for orks. We can bring a lot of bodies to the table, and at low levels its only exaggerated further. Quick, fun list:

HQ

Warboss: 115
-Power Klaw
-Shoota
-Bosspole
-Lucky Stick

Weirdboy: 45

TROOPS:

19 x Slugga Boy w/ Klaw+Pole Nob: 160

19 x Shoota Boy w/ Klaw+Pole Nob: 179

Total: 499

Feel free to drop the weirdboy and take more orks, but I think that the psychic defence and ap3 small blasts each turn are nice. You could drop the weird and the Warboss' boss pole and pick up a painboy though if you want.

Don't bother giving the boss heavy armour unless you give his whole mob heavy armour. The reason being that he shouldn't be in the front so he shouldn't be shot at, and that if he's in melee and someone challenges him, either:

A. You answer with the Nob or weirdboy or
B: The guy audacious enough to challenge has a power weapon anyway. The lucky stick will make sure all your attacks hit and wound (and likely kill, what with S10 ap2 and all).

30 boyz in one squad with a painboy then just have a 10 man boy squad for a screen. Add lootas as needed

Symmetry isn't important
