Hi there,

I'm looking at doing Orks soon, and thought it would be great to do the contents of a nutty meks workshop.

3 Killer Kans, 3 Skorchas

Thoughts? How do you think it will go?

Have also had the thought of subbing out 1 killer kan for a unit of 10 gretchin, just to hold of in reserve and bring in later towards the objective, particularly in the capture and control missions.

no deff dread? :(
i suppose 3 kans makes up for it though.
might be worth throwing 3 rokkt launchas in with all the boyz, some ranged anti tank does wonders.

not so much for game, but for looks, could be worth throwing in some deff koptas to make the theme even stronger.

It's very tempting to drop the 3 trukks and the battle wagon, in exchange for an extra 42 orks, and to footslog it across the table.

Has anyone had much experience with effectively a "trukk rush" ?

Am I too lite on trukks to pull it off? I worry that I'm a bit too split between shooting and assault to find any real success, switching to shoota wielding large mobs would obviously help close this gap.

For bigger games than 1500, I would love to squirm in some koptas and a deffdread JD21290, it's just that 1500 is pretty restrictive.

I use the Trukk rush army quite a bit and I find a meaty unit of Nob Warbikers with a Warboss go's well to give them the tough bite they need. To be honest with this list I'd be tempted by a Shokk Attack Gun there always good and I'd definitely give the Kill Kans the Rokkits got to love that BS3. But your definitely not to light on Trukks I take only one more and don't have a Battlewagon in my Trukk rush army.

Bearing in mind it is only BS2 shooting, even with 3 rokkit launchers you'll not hit too much with that. Or maybe that's just the Boyz I've played, they're inept at hitting anything!

I'd personally trust the PK's to deal the real damage to vehicles, but that's what Orks are all about, right?

By the way, love your user name! I love table...

thats just some firepower while slogging.
1/3 chance of hitting, 3 rokkit's, should get 1 hit from each mob of boyz, that way they wont have to waste time wih tanks.

The other move that's tempting is to move to foot slogging, but use a screen of force fielded kans to provide a cover save. I think that might be playing more with 5th in mind? I think I stumbled across a photo of a similar army setup in the LVGT pics, has anyone had any experience with how this kind of force plays?
