As I said, new to Orks. I haven't actually bought anything just yet, didn't want to sink money into units I wouldn't use. That being said, here's my current 1500 list.

Total: 1499

The tentative strategy is load everyone up in the Battlewagons, barreling down into assault range to assault their face off, using the Deff Rollas and Deffkoptas for my anti-tank capabilities. I can imagine any form of skimmer Mech will be all but impossible for me to actually win against, but very few people play that here.

I wanted to take a unit of Burnas, but they didn't fit anywhere on the battlewagons since only Nobz can take them as transports and the others are transporting Boyz. To take the Nobz as Troops to replace a unit of Boyz seems a little reckless, given that by most standards only 60 Boyz seems to be awfully light, but it would allow me a 4th Wagon for Burnas.

I've also thought about dropping a Big Mek and the Nobz entirely, replacing the points with a kitted Warboss to ride in one of the other Wagons along with some Kommandos. I was thinking Snikrot, 15 Kommandos, dual Burnas if I went that route, with the Warboss having a Klaw, Kombi-Skorcha, Cybork, and Squig. Doing this puts me at 1394 points, and I'd be at a loss with what to do with the other 106 points available. Two more Deffkoptas maybe?

Edit: Point values were slightly off, dropped a Boy to make room for a Mek on the Battle Wagon, gave Nobz a Bosspole.

i like very much your list, i got 4 battlewagons and played with them, they rocks, i gonna test 2 big meks too you can check my list in 4 battlewagons topic...

I like the list at the moment

I just noticed a slight problem, don't Battle Wagons have a load limit of 20? I can put one Big Mek in the Nob Wagon, but I'd have to drop a Boy to fit the other in one. Not a huge loss, but I rather liked landing right at 1500 and having even squad numbers.

Drop one boy, add a bosspole to the nob squad. you'll be at 1499.

You need a bosspole in the nob squad. You don't want them failing a check to shooting casualties (for example, you've gotten out of the BW, killed a squad and then get a direct hit from a demolisher cannon).

other then that, looks fine.

Good call Budro, thank you.

If I brought my chaos list into All fun and games and I had to fight this list I would get owned. Its a deadly list.

Really think so? I haven't played with it just yet, but looking at it against my 'Nids I wouldn't be too worried, nor would my Eldar...

Gotta agree the list looks solid. I would like to get some BW's myself. I currently like going with hordes upon hordes of boys, backed up with kommando's. Though my goal is to end up with enough orks to run any style of army they can do.
