Hey all,

This is the list I've been playing in my games with Charybdis and our other friendly neighborhood 40k players, with a couple of tweaks after our last game. The goal is to be competitive but not necessarily uber--I admit to having limited myself to Ork klan fluff a little, and to conforming to a style of play that I enjoy rather than necessarily consider optimal. That said, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

HQ:
Warboss: Mega-Armour, Bosspole - 105

Troops:
Meganobzx3 - 120
Dedicated Transport: Trukk - Red Paint, Boarding Plank -45

'Ard Boyz x12: PK Nob - 155
Dedicated Transport: Trukk - Red Paint, Boarding Plank, Reinforced Ram - 50

Choppa/Slugga Boyzx20: PK Nob - 155

Shoota Boyzx20: PK Nob - 155

Fast Attack:
Stormboyzx15: PK Nob - 215


I could go on about the theory behind this list, but I don't want to bore you. Let me know what you think!

Looks good. I would change those Sluggas on foot for Shootas... And if you downgrade the 'ard boyz to sluggas you could fit bosspoles and heavy weapons.

Hmm...interesting thoughts, thank you! I am curious about the exact reason for liking Shootas over Choppas/Sluggas these days--is it simply about their longer range/higher quantity of shots, or is there something I'm missing?

I can see your point about stripping down the 'Ard Boyz--the idea behind the 4+ save is to make them slightly more survivable (given that as a Trukk squad they can't get up to the kind of mob size that really makes good use of Mob Rule), but I will mull that over.

Well, it's a matter of preference. I think 20 sluggas (and PK nob) on foot will just not arrive with enough bodies to win the assault against say, an equally priced unit, even with run. Shootas can usually match up, and they're better at say, holding objectives. And they got a decent assault too.
