i'm going to be playing a 2k game against some CSM tonight and i'll be fielding orks, i want to use a KOS list and would like some tips on how to build it.
i have no idea what he'll be fielding other than he's gonna be trying to kill a bunch of orks so;
I'm thinking
HQ:Boss on bike, big mek with SAG
Elite: 2 units of lootas with 7-8 boyz each
(maybe) a 5 man nob squad on bikes with a painboy all with pks
troops:
3 truck boy squads
FA:
a 20 boy stormboy squad
four buggies
Heavy:
two battlewagons with killcannons

any suggestions on how to make it better? it's not going to be a highly competative game but i wouldn't mind winning, but don't want a min/max'd mathhammer army.

if points become an issue i would start cutting them from the stormboyz, i kind of want/need to keep the nobz on bikes to try and counter his termies

other than that i think it'll be a fast hard hitting army, but with little staying power

If you want fun, put on deff rollas! That will give you all the fun you can handle. Enjoy rolling over his rhinos.

You want effective, but not min-maxed? Great, you pretty much don't need to change a thing. The only change I'd make is to field the Nobs as a Troops choice and split the Lootas into three min squads. There is no point fielding them in two squads of 7-8--they run as easily as a smaller squad. Either field them 14/15-strong or as small as possible.

HiveJive, rollas are great, but putting them on killkannon BWs is silly. The reason should be obvious.

thanks tegeus i went with basically the army posted above, instead of doing what my opponenant thought i would do which is rush forward and waaagh as soon as i could, i held back pounded him with the SAG, boom cannons, lootas and the various big shootas.

most of my shooting wasn't very effective but being able to lay down three ord plates was nice i didn't destroy units but wore them down until by turn 4 when they finally got close enough for a charge they were managable.

some highlights;
1.my warboss with his squad of nob bikers singlehandedly killed 2 demon princes and a greater demon, that'll add some interesting heads to my trophy cairn.
2. a nob from one of my truck squads got curious to see what was inside a defiler, so he opened it up with his power klaw and saw all the gooey stuff
3. he dropped some termies right in front of my line and rolled armor saves like a champ and only lost 1 model after gitting shot at with 45 loota shots, 2 boom guns, a SAG, and about 8 or 9 big shootas. The orks were amazed at that spikey boy armor and wished they had some.
4. i let said termie squad charge some truck boys who ended up tying them up for 2 turns not letting them really do anything for the rest of the game.
5. i ended the game having lost 1 truck boy squad, had 1 below 50%, and half my nob squad dead, but i wiped his army execept for one pesky termie (i guess the boss let him go, so he could get more spikey boys for another good scrap)

things i would change to the list? not much except to maybe take the 3 buggies out and put lobbas in, but i wanted a fun list and got it, the buggies zoomed everywhere, the trucks were unpredictable, moving around shooting at everything, the boss and his boys got in a right proper scrap, the boyz did what they were supposed to; died and tied up expensie units.
