I'd drop the KFF on the mek for a shokk attack gun. I'd also ditch snikkrot for a PK nob. Not many things sit on the back of the board edge besides guard and tanks. The boys can't really hurt tanks and it'll be easier just to infiltrate and charge with the kommandos, as well as save you quite a bit of points. Lootas are great for now, expect them to be worthless in 5th ed, as no one will take skimmers anymore. You have one trukk as your only vehicle.... so guess what is going to draw all your enemies AT guns? It's essentially free VP's to your enemy. Either take multiple trukks, or none at all. Stormboyz also are great right now, but expect them to go away in 5th ed if the rumors are true. If you can force march 12" with normal boys, why pay twice as much for stormboys? Sure, they can fleet and assault, but still, for the same price of 15 stormboys, I can get 30 regular orks, It might take me another turn to get to the enemy, but when I do, I'm hitting them with more attacks.

I tend to disagree with Angron, your list is a good start for a new Ork player. There are only a few tweeks (not so much changes) that can be made to your list. The Trukk can be a take it or leave it type of unit. I can see it provideing some nice mobile cover for the Warboss and Storm Boyz but in reality with one of them will not be that effective. Since intervening units friendly models now block LoS to those behind them you can get away with running the storm boyz up behind the 5+ cover save Orks and them having them pop out at the last moment and say hi to those that are going to be assaulted by them.

Having the Kommandos with Snikrot is a nice way to confuse your oppoent by causeing chaos within his lines. If he is foolish enough to move towards the Orks then any where you put those kommandos will not matter as he will be engaged to your army already. I think he will come in handy more often than he won't I'd keep him.

It is pretty hard to make a good army list with the 5th ed coming up. I dont got any models yet ( only the codex) so what models can i buy that are not worthless in the 5th ed rules. Are shoota boys still worth it?

Thanks for the comments

if you're going to only run 1 truck I wouldn't bother. it will get popped on their first turn and your boyz won't get into assault.

only way to keep trukks relatively safe is to run 3-5 of them.. insures that the majority of your boyz get into assault to tie up their shooting while the ones that got popped catch up with a well timed waagh.

NaZ

from what I've been hearing, shootaboys are still worth it. From an assault perspective, with a shootaboy you're getting 2 str 4 attacks that hit on a 5 (from shooting) and 3 str 3 attacks that hit on a four. As opposed to a sluggaboy with 1 str 4 attack hitting on a 5, and 4 str 3 attacks hitting on a 4. And you're gaining flexibility. So in my opinion, shootaboys are still better than sluggaboys

here is a good 1500 list that I've playtested, you could easily add the mek and some more shoota boyz to bring it to 1750

Warboss Bike, Claw, Squig, cybork armor

Lootas (15)

Lootas (15)

Shoota Boyz (21) 2 rokkits, nob w/ klaw, bosspole

Shoota Boyz (21) 2 rokkits, nob w/ klaw, bosspole


Stormboyz (20) Nob w/ klaw

Stormboyz (20) Nob w/ klaw


133 models, 1500 pts

Thanks Naz it is a nice simple armylist (great for a starter like me! ) , the only problem is that i want models that are still good in the 5 ed rules ( i dont got much money). Angron said that in the 5ed the stormboys arent that good anymore and that the lootas are worthless ( if the rumors are true )

Anyway thanks for the comments it is a big help.

I'd recommend against that army list and go for something much more diverse so you can learn the army and the game much more effectively, and it won't be one-dimensional and blow up in your face if the changes in the 5th edition aren't favourable. It's always better to take the time to learn from your own experience rather than relying on randoms on the internet.

its a decent list
