So I was asked to post this, and include my tactics with it.

Tactics inside the list, in Italics.

1750 Pts - Orks Roster - Orks

1 Big Mek @ 90 Pts
Choppa; Kustom Force Field; Stikkbombs; Furious Charge; Mob Rule; Waaagh!; Bosspole; Mek's Tools

Big mek goes with the Gretchin. At a minimum this unit will always have a 4+ save (5+ from the KFF, +1 from going to ground since this unit never does anything). This gives me guaranteed terrain for my Lootas, basically, so they have a 4+ save.

If they do get shot at, they have a re-rollable 8 and it only costs 1 grot, not D3 like from the Runtherd.

19 Gretchin @ 67 Pts
Grot Blasta; It's a Grot's Life
1 Runtherd @ [10] Pts
Grabba Stikk (x1); Slugga; Furious Charge; Mob Rule; Squig Hound

Lootas just sit in area terrain or behind the grots, and blast away. I could care less if someone gets a 4+ cover save.

15 Lootas @ 225 Pts
Defffguns; Furious Charge; Mob Rule; Waaagh!

15 Lootas @ 225 Pts
Defffguns; Furious Charge; Mob Rule; Waaagh!

15 Lootas @ 225 Pts
Defffguns; Furious Charge; Mob Rule; Waaagh!

These are my heavy tank killers. 4xS9 on the charge does the trick.

I also use them to double up on an enemy squad and kill it.

Avoid Plague Marines, they make Orks cry.

11 Boyz @ 162 Pts
Choppa & Slugga; Furious Charge; Mob Rule; Waaagh!
1 Boyz Nob @ [51] Pts

Mobile firepower. They sit back and shoot, come on from the table edge and shoot.

I've found lootas are an excellent firebase, but the warbuggies complete the transformation from almost shoot to very shooty.

Total Roster Cost: 1750

That's about it really. It's simple enough. It's competitive. And it doesn't bore, like a horde does.

It's also got some fragility to it, and if you aren't good with it--you'll find that out soon enough.
