READ THIS: it was 1497 pts but I realised that the burna boy mek had a bosspole, sorry

thats a nice army, very full, not enough speed in it for my liking!! huur huur.

your 10 man squads of boyz might get shot up pretty bad though.

I realise that now so when I get the monet i'm probably gonna reinforce them to 30.

thats like 70 models at 1500 points you should try to get more troops in there i go with 130+ models at 1500

Personally don't have much luck with the SAG, probably a waste try the KFF instead

how do you hold objectives?

more shoota boyz!

nah, i think shoota boyz are a waste of points because if your shooting then you will only hit a few units, and lets say there's 30 shoota boyz all shooting at 10 tactical marines: about 10 will hit, 7 will wound, and around 2 or 3 dead. my shoota boyz are simply for grasping objectives and being distactions.

30 Shoota boyz with 3 Big shootas walking straight at yo is a real threath to any army laying down a huge amount of bullets as they go along. Slugga boyz isnt a threath until turn 2-3 if they are going to footslogg.

Well, yeah, big shootas kick ass but I don't want this to end up as a battle between Slugga boyz and shoota boyz!

Neither do i just pointed out how good they are

Ok thats cool

Has enyone read my other post about converting an Ogre to an Orks warboss?

just saw another disturbing thing in ypur army those 5 man elite choises is gonna do one thing and one thing only DIE! sry to say it just remove kommandos and burnas and take more lootas

Unless im playing imperial guard, I'll scrap the tankbustas, maybe replace them with some meganobz, but, despite how useless they are, I'm keeping the burna boyz, purely because in a game I played not so long ago in a GW, they kept running towards my opponents line(dark angels) but the game ended as a loss to me as 15 deathwing terminators and the AOBR dreadnaught deepstriked behind my lines, my warboss, his nobz bodyguard, about 50 ork boyz and a trukk or 2 were butchered(the reason for the 50 orks and 2 trukks were because he had 2000 pts, and i had 1500, but luckily he had an ork army himself so he helped me out) but the burna boyz didn't take a hit at all. So that's why I'm keeping them, but I will probably drop the mek with SAG for a mega armoured warboss converted out of Ghazghkull Thraka. So thanks everyone for your help, I'll take advantage of it soon.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Have you used your army in battles yet??

the only real way to tell is to test it out.

let us know how it goes

-55 troops in a non-speed freaks 1500pts ork list? WTF?

-5 man elite squads? WTF?

-5 Flash Gitz? WTF?

-Did I just count 14 KP? So I kill the elites, the gits, the lonely SAG and the buggy and I win?

The battles have gone pretty well thank you.

-Did I just count 14 KP? So I kill the elites, the gits, the lonely SAG and the buggy and I win?

not realy, if you playing a objectives match then KP doesent help all that much
+ i would be more worried about the boyz running towards you.

it might be worth taking out the tank bustas and adding 5 more lootas to the unit, do away with the KMB since he will end up killing him self with it.
that also saves 10 points.

take out the nobz and add:

30 boyz, klaw nob with bosspole - 220 points

this will keep your points the same, give you a higher body count, and make you last longer against massed shooting.

A couple things I see...

Meks cant carry Bosspoles. Curious as to why you gave the trukks Wrecking Balls they are basically useless, unless your opponent sucks. And a Battlewagon w/o deffrolla? If you ask me the Eavy Armour on the Big Mek is pointless unless you are "trying" to get into close combat with a SAG (easy to get AP 4 Shots). Warboss w/o Pwr Klaw or even a Big Choppa!? I mean that right there I dont understand, you would rather have 2xPwr Klaws in your Nobz group instead of giving your Warboss the Pwr Klaw!? I dont even want to bring up the problems with how you added up your pts....and I give up
