My Idea is to build the most random ork list I can think of. And lucky me the new codex has plenty of randomness. I would like to build a fun army with as much random as I can pack in, and would apreciate any insight.
For my leaders I couldnt decide which was more random, the shokk attack gun or the weirdboy powers. Then I decided I dident have to! So I will have one big mek with shokk attack gun, and one weirdboy.
Elites I was going to take some tankbustas, as the squigs can be random, but the shooting rules state that they HAVE to shoot at vehicles-not nearly random enough. So it looks like a full unit of lootas with random amount of shots will be in the spot. Meganobz are another good random unit, wanna charge that unit 12" away? k roll for movement. one. boned. Snikrot could bring commandoes in anywhere on the board. Pretty random, but as I would only want to field one cheezy character...
Fast attack. Stormboyz are definatley random, from taking the chance of someone dying by moving an extra d6, to possibly deep striking onto difficult terrain or an enemy model. Definatley random.
Troops! backbone of an ork army. Trukks! random explosions are fun and profitable! Nobs wit klaws! not random at all, you know what there going to do- but how else to threaten the enemy into SHOOTING the trucks, thus causing random skidding all over da board. As an added bonus if they get there they can kill something. Who knows, mabye If i charge that falcon with my 5 str 9 power klaw attacks it could blow up! Could anything be more random than a falcon ACTUALLY DYING??
Heavy support. Looted wagon is a must, would be funny to see it lurch forward instead of blowing up what I wanted blowd up. Lobbas are another good one. Guess the range, and can scatter. Plus plunking them behind cover means I could shoot with them all game. Lootas are random in the ap department, but to field more random stuff I cant really afford there points.
So how else could I random up my army. any way to fit random mega blastas in, do they still score a glancing on a vehicle. If so 3 killa kans with em would be amusing. Any thoughts.
