So, well, as i started collecting Orks a month or so ago, i'm just building up my army. As i wanna have fun with it on every development-stage, i shouldn't miss 500^^

I thought about some thing like this:

Mekk, SAG

20 Boyz, shoota, PK-nob, 2rokkits, bosspole.
20 Boyz, shoota, PK-nob, 2rokkits, bosspole.

1Killa-Kan, grot-zooka

500, exactly.

I got to metion that i'm not a tournament player (as you might see ), but i think i'm not too far off with the list...

Alright then, any suggestions are wellcome

I'm not sure if I would take the meks SAG in such a little game. Not very needed IMHO, and you could get plenty of more boyz or another kan insted for it.

Grotzookas suck due to their range. I'd rather take a big shoota or rokkit.

Otherwise, the list looks fine to me.

You both got a point on this .

But, cander, think of the alternatives...
A biker-boss would be even more expensive and i don' think a KFF is needed here.
Then again, what do most 500pts-armies consist of?
-The two standart-choises, the HQ and some crap to fill up the point-limit.
In case of Tau, for example, I'd love to smash into this with the SAG.
I see that doesn't work against any army, so what do you suggest to take in context of the rest of my army?

Grotzookas are really short-ranged.
I ask myself whether i should field a TL-rokkit-buggy instead of the can...

I just tried the list against a Ultramarine playing friend of mine two times.
First, i used Shootas and a warphead. it worked quite well, i scored a waaagh each turn until CC.
Secondly i dropped the warphead and the rokkits to fit in a SAG and another Killa-Kan.
The SAG did nothing at all ('xept for killin a boy ).
I also tried Slugga-Boyz, who performed much better than the shootas.
I believe that at 500pts, an Ork should max out his CC-capability.
Any thoughts about that?
