Hello gang... Just wondering if this list would be a nice balanced list @1850. Normally I would add a boss like zaggstruck or snikrot, but this will be my first game with the orks so I want to geta feel for them without the 'ard stuff.

HQ

Warboss- (Bike,PK,Cybork,Squig,Eavyarmor)-155 pts

Big Mek-(KFF, evay armor,Cybork)- 100 pts

Elites

Lootas x 10 (7 with Defguns, 3 meks with Mega blastas)- 150 pts

Lootas x 10 (7 with Defguns, 3 meks with Mega blastas)- 150 pts

Troops

2 squads of 30 shoota boys- (3 rockits, nob with PK &Bosspole)-240 pts each

3 squads of 12 Truck boys- (Nob with PK & Bosspole, Trukks with Paint&Ram)- 147 pts each

Fast attack

Storm boys x 11 (Nob with PK& Bosspole)- 177 pts

DeffCopta (TL Rokkit & BigBomb) 60 pts

DeffCopta(TLRokkit) 45 pts

Heavy Support

Big Guns x 3 ZZapp guns 90 pts

Total = 1848

Thanx for any input and any advice. The Big mek walks with the shootas while the Trukks, WarBoss and Stormies threaten flanks and so forth. I went with the big bomb cause it looks like it would be a fun surprise to drop one on my friend.

Ork Ork Ork....Ork Ork Ork

You don't need 'eavy armour on a bike.

Good Catch! Removing now---

stormboyz need to be larger squad.

zap guns are all but useless now due to their new rules (sad as I have 6 but what can you do)

lootas "upgraded" to meks is a WASTE of a deffgun slot... they work best in high numbers

you don't need to waste the pts on bosspoles in mobs of 30.. its just a waste.

I'd consider upgrading the truks to rokkits but it may not be worth it since they're no longer twin linked (sad)

personally I'd scrap the koptas.. you're better off just using deffguns and shootas with rokkits to deal with tanks.

hope that helps

Well I used the list I posted with the change of removing the eavy armor from the warboss and adding 3 ammo runts to the zzap guns.

I will post a battle report in the battle report section. But needless to say the obvious strength of the orks are there basic boy units. The shoota boys and the trukk boys were awesome. The koptas did well, the zzap guns did some nice things as well. Actually I wasn't dissapointed at all with what I had.

Thanx,
GG
