So after years of playing space marines I decided to give Orks the Ol' college try. This is the first list I've cobbled together:

1 Warboss-135 pts
warbike, powerklaw, cybork body

12 Ork Boyz- 157
sluggas/choppas, rokkit launcha, nob: powerklaw, trukk: rokkit launcha


12 Ork Boyz- 157
sluggas/choppas, rokkit launcha, nob: powerklaw, trukk: rokkit launcha


12 Ork Boyz- 157
sluggas/choppas, rokkit launcha, nob: powerklaw, trukk: rokkit launcha


12 Ork Boyz- 152
sluggas/choppas, rokkit launcha, nob: powerklaw, trukk

8 warbikers- 240
nob: powerklaw, bosspole


It's a pretty basic list, all and all. The idea, obviously, is to engage the enemy quickly, shutting down their movement and shooting. For armies with tougher, more survivable units, I'm planning on engaging those units with multiple boyz squads. The boss, who rides with the other bikers, should hopefully provide some fast moving, hard hitting support where needed. That said, I'm iffy on the bikes given their point cost, and their odds of survival. That said, any advice/criticism would be greatly appreciated.

You need shooting.

Boyz in Trukks and Trukks, with rokkits, does not really constitute 'shooting'.

If you aren't taking Wazdakka, avoid the Warbikers.

I've been using bikes a lot lately, mainly because I like the models. I'm with Stelek on this - as cool as they seem, it's very rare for them to be of any use now they aren't fearless.

warbikers will suffer in morale tests.
Nobbikers will not,but it is a 1000pts list...
