Maybe try running your flyers as blitz bombers, their bombs are good for killing anything on the ground. Unless you need heavy anti air that lootas can't solve.

I ran a list similar to this but with no flyers and only 4 bike squads but with a trukk of tankbustas and 3 individual deffcoptas. I was playing 1850 though so I had the bully boyz formation in trukks too.

I think you are on the right track, this list looks very fun. If the tankbustas don't work out you can bring another unit of lootas to hide in cover or on an objective. I'd love to help find an Ork biker list that perform well in all scenarios

Definite agreement on the tankbustas. They're worth their weight in gold

It's interesting to hear that about Tankbustas in Trukks. I've always assumed that Gunwagons or Battlewagons would be better as they're quite valuable. What's the general strategy of BustaTrukks? Run up and dakka?

You can run minimum squad of bustas with squigs in a trukk like a suicide squad , actyaly I crack vehicles 50% of time with rokits and squigs rest is melta bombs of bustas so if you want you can load 1-2 trukks with that and rush forward

Yeah, I've just read Scuttle Scuttle Blam! That's insane! They go right in

Updated the list, added a Deffkopta with points because Linebreaker is always nice Good enough list? Or Flyboss on Da Planez?

I could also change some Squigs into Burna bombers..

Whoops... there doesn't seem to be anything here.

Zhadsnark makes Warbikers Troops

What is the role of the Big Mek is he tanking for the Lootas?

How do you keep your small units from breaking?

Big Mek in mega armour confers slow and purposeful to the lootas so they can move/shoot/charge without the consequences of carrying a heavy weapon. He still tanks wounds with stikk and might get a repair roll off if a trukk gets dinged before it can zoom forward. Also makes lootas harder to fight in close combat with the stikk +1ws. Warboss does the same thing but costs more and is slightly beefier. Big Mek is probly enough unless you're fighting lots of close combat dedicated deep strikers.

Alrighty, made some changes after looking at the Kommandos and thinking...yes, I want to use these guys

Zhadsnark = 150
Painboy w/ Warbike = 75

5x Warbikers w/ Boss Nob, Boss Pole, Power Klaw = 130
5x Warbikers w/ Boss Nob, Boss Pole, Power Klaw = 130
10x Warbikers w/ Boss Nob, Boss Pole, Power Klaw = 220

9x Kommandoes w/ 2x Rokkit Launchas = 100
9x Kommandoes w/ 2x Rokkit Launchas = 100

Blitzabomber = 135
3x Deffkoptas w/ 3x Rokkit Launchas = 90
3x Deffkoptas w/ 3x Rokkit Launchas = 90

10x Lootas = 140
10x Lootas = 140


So between the Infiltrating Kommandoes and Scouting Deffkoptas and Zhadsnarks units of 10 Warbikers, I have about five threats in the enemy face turn one...should be fun

Tank Bustas will do a lot more work then Kommandos.

True, but I'd need Trukks for them and they can be shot at first turn aha. I have the Deffkoptas, Zhadsnark unit and Commandos as that's five things to deal with.

Maybe have One unit of Kommandoes and two units of Tank bustas? Idk

The Tank Bustas don't have to have a Trukk, they can hide in cover like the sneaky gits they are. Their damage output is topnotch.

The Kommandos rarely pay for themselves.

Option the third: Drop the Lootas and carry even more Tank Bustas.

If I was to Redo Orks I would max Tank Bustas.

So how would you run Tankbustas? I can't infiltrate them as Zhadsnark's WT makes Bikers Troops (so can't get Master of Ambush)

That's why I was thinking Trukks, or Gunwagons.

Depends on how fluffy vs. competitive you want to make your list. If you slapped a squad of gretchin on this list, it would be nice and fluffy for the Speed Freeks. If you want this list to be a little scarier, use 3 squads of 1 deffkopta each so they have to use an entire squad's shooting at 1 deffkopta, and beef up the tankbustas to about 8 or 9 to make enemy armor a bit more shy and use any leftover points to beef up your warbikes because our leadership sucks and losing 1 bike is already 20% of the squad.

Right after jiggling point around even moar (nevar satisfied) I have this list.

Little unsure about Mega Blastas but AP2 is good..

The Twin-Linked Rokkit on the Deff Koptas will be more reliable.

What is your meta like? Bomb squigs can't target skimmers so be careful vs blue gitz, panzee, dark panzee and dem necron boyz

It's usually dem armoured guys with their metal bawks

Made some changes to original list in OP. Tankbustas are fun! Although I'm debating whether to go for two Dakkajets...
