So this comes to 1483pts. I have some room to spare, maybe flush out the shootas to x30. I was also thinking as much fun as the MegaNobz are, Im pretty sure they're a points-sink. Also, the Big Gunz Im not overly sure about. I was thinking about adding at least 5 more lootas, maybe x2 Trukk mounted squads of 10-12 each, and maybe up to 6 bikers.

Anyone care to add/suggest anything?
Thanks!

Orks are so good in so many ways.

There's no list that truly 'sucks' really. lol

I think you're ok but you are a little low in anti-tank power. Nothing new there though.

I would recommend putting the meganobz in a truk and dropping the ard boyz to 11 + pk nob and put them in a truck

run those two units at normal squads and watch the carnage... don't use them on your opponents elite squads...


pump up the lootas to 15... this army was made to be maxed out... running smaller units is asking to take a few wounds then lose the unit to failed morale tests...

you're really only a couple points off from putting the warboss in mega armor... let him ride with the MA...
after they dismount, you can charge him at something else if you like...

otherwise, you look like a good mix of dakka and krumpa

Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

Stelek- Care to recommend some anti-tank options that might be better than the lootas and zzap guns? (not counting the 50/50 chance of a Rokkit actually hitting something of course.)

jwelvis629- are you suggesting just upgrading the Boss to mega armor and putting him in a trukk with meganobz? because I dont think capacity will allow that. If units in mega armor count as two for the transport, you'd only be able to put 3 meganobz in a trukk anyways.
Did I misread what you're saying?
I definetly do want to pump up the lootas, they are just too damn good not to.

Anyone have luck with the biker squads? maybe in the number of a 6 man squad?
Would it be a decent thought to consider going with maybe 2 trukks of 12 orks (Nob w/PK) and 6 bikers? or is there another area the army could use improvement?

Thanks all!

6 meganobz can go in a trukk.

12 / 2 = 6.

Bikers are only good in large numbers.

Anti-tank for orks is spotty at best. You need power claws (S9 on the charge on most things) to really rip into stuff.

So in theory, 6 bikers would do decently if kept near cover until the charge came.

5 Meganobz w/ MegaArmored Warboss in a trukk would be a pretty good unit to run into the side of someone's basic trooper unit eh?

I was also starting to consider deffkoptas, maybe in a unit of 5 or two of 3, Im not really sure. The downside to this is that would not be able to get the 6 bikes the 2 trukks/ 24 boyz to ride in them.

as far as the anti-tank aspect goes, the deffkoptas would be awesome with twin linked rokkits, the trukk mounted nobs w/ PKs would do well, and same for the bike mounted PK Nobs.

anything else I might be missing here? I could also add 2 more killa kans to fill the squads to 3 each, rather than 2. (1 more rokkit and 1 more big shoota certainly wouldnt hurt.)

Im pretty heavy on the dakka aspect of the army, with a lot of shooting available. I wonder if Im missing a serious kick that would really set this army up as a great challenge for anyone to fight.

Thanks!

All-
Any other advice relevant to the possible add-ons?
Im not sure if I really need to bother adding on to the force, but was curious if I missed a key element.

Thanks!

I personally dislike the new zzapguns because they lost the auto hit edge they used to have. Kannons are superior in range and the fact that you can reliably hit at S8 and use the frag shot if you need to. I'd reccomend taking kannon instead.

Bikes are a little to exspensive unfortionatly (especialy since I own 10). YOu are doing half of my favorite army with the dread kan wall, a few thoughts for you though.
first watch your line of sight the wall will block shooting at your boyz but it will also block your shooting. Also as the enemy pops your kanz they will impead your large mobs of boyz with difficult terrain tests. Which is why I always follow mine with a mob of burna boyz and that is about it. The main way I counteract this is of course the small mob behind them (though very killy since they cant be hit by the enemy) is four truck units. three with truck boyz and one nob squad. The trucks force the opponent to decide on which threat they wish to counter. The 48 boyz in their face or the 5-8 walkers coming towards them. In the end it is often a moot point since most enemies try to kill both and end up failing and loosing. THough I am currently experimenting with more foot sloggers and less kanz and dreads.

So there's talk of swapping the zzap guns out for kannons, I dont actually have the pieces/parts for kannons, and oddly enough dont think I have any relevant bits around either.
Not to say the idea is totally out, but what else would you recommend? Another heavy support is fine too.

I usually run my kans/dread in the middle of my mobs, that way they all get close roughly the same time, all the while supporting each other with the sheer threat of each other.
Not many people want to run infantry near a mob of 25 orks AND a dread/2x Kans. Even anti-tank shots are tricky because I run my own anti-tank in the squads and on the kans/dread.

Im not set on using bikes, I just thought maybe bikes used in conjunction with a trukk or 2 of 12 orks wouldnt be too bad. Im definetly open to any other suggestions.

The use of burnas behind the armor did catch my eye, and I do believe I have enough bits to make 8 of them. I was going to trade them for more Loota bits, so now Im a little torn.
It is fun when an Ork army can outshoot a marine force. Who needs a good ballistic skill when you have sheer number of shots! ha.

anyways, thanks for the comments, please keep them coming, I want to get this army on track to be a great one!

Thanks-
