Hey all,
New to the site, really like it. I've played orks since 2nd gen and some in the 3rd, but I've been away for about 2-3 yrs now. I'm gettin the new rule book soon, and I've been reading nonstop about the new codex for about 5 days now. Anyhoo, I was gonna tell you guys what I had and where I was planning to go with it and see what you guys thought. (Going from memory here b/c I don't have them with me)


~20 shoota boys w/PK nob, 2-3 Big Shootaz
~15 ard boyz w/PK nob
~30 2nd ed. slugga boys (yes I cried about no more choppas)
1 Wartrukk
1 Warbuggy (sucks I know but about 10 yrs ago I couldn't resist it)
4 warbikes
5 boarboyz (old school, I know)
1 Warboss
1 Warboss unpainted (want to convert to something, not sure - warbike? big mek?)
Bunches of grotz
5 2nd ed. Meganobz
~3 runtherz
1 Wierdboy
~ 6 lootaz
~7 kommandos
1 awesome converted Snikrot
2 big gunz
1 2nd ed. Ghazgkhull (feel a conversion)
5-6 random boyz, maybe convert to something?
~2 2nd ed. PK nobs
1 Each Gorkamorka mek and painboy
various grotz/squigs

I know it's all over the place, but when I first started I kind of had a penchant for buying 1 of everything.

I generally like to bring a lot of boyz down the middle into cc, and with the new rules I think I'll use snikrot alot to infiltrate and disrupt long range stuff/distract. Maybe bring the truckk full of boyz and/or some bikes on the side and shoot from back with a few lootaz (need more of them, I know).


Anyway, now that you guys know my play style, I think I'm gonna get some kommando rokkits, more shoota boys (I want to swarm into cc), more lootaz, and call it a day. Any help would be greatly appreciated. As far as point values I usually play anywhere from 500 - 3000 so anything you guys have to say will help.

Thanks (and sorry for the long post)

I too am returning from a looong sleep and the WaaAGH is ready to come back to life.

myself I was a cult of speed fan:

warboss+nobs in trukk
burna boys in trukk
slugga boys in trukk
slugga boys in trukk

warbiker nobz
warbikes
more warbikes
looted russ

now they've turned it all on it's head so I feel like starting over if I'm going to play with the orks.

though the warboss will get put to use I'm sure.. and probably the nobz but the new trukk / bike models are SO much cooler looking that its hard to even want to use the old ones (maybe I'll hook up some kid just getting into it)

I put a list up that you wouldn't be far from fielding with your units, take a look
(1850 orks, more durable?)
