So i wrote this list up. I only have down things so far i really kinda liked. I want this to be an 1850 list and i have about 1250 right now. Im would ike this to be somewhat competitive, but not to the point where its completely geared just for playing. I do like a little fluff. So any suggestions on where to go from here would be great. Ill give a brief run up after i write the list to tell you guys why i have picked these options. If you have any thing you think i should change with the current list let me know.


HQ

Warboss: Warbike, attack squig, cybork body, power klaw-150

Troops (note, on the boyz squads that im not sure which ones are getting shootas or chopppas yet, probably split it evenly between units.)

3 Nobz- Bikes, Mad Dok, Cybork Bodies, Waaagh! banner- 195
20 ork boyz- Nob w/ power klaw- 155
20 ork boyz- Nob w/ power klaw- 155
20 ork boyz- Nob w/ power klaw- 155
20 ork boyz- Nob w/ power klaw- 155

Elites

10 Lootas- 150
10 Lootas- 150

Current total : 1265

the reason i take the boss on a bike is basically because he hits hard and hes fast. I know his bke retune is a bit pricey, but it is fairly durable. It has a 4/5+ save with a 4+ cover save and FNP. I also take it so the boss himself can get FNP and so he can get WS6. I mean, a bos with T6 and FNP is pretty nasty. The boyz are there because.....well all ork armies need DA BOYZ! Lol. Im not sure what special weapons to give em yet or whether they will have shootas ir sluggas and choppas. The Lootas are there ebcause in reality, they have D3 shot autocannons for the smae price as a marine. They have always served me well and there are very few armies i wouldnt take em against. I love to use em against things like fire warriors.

So please, give me comments on how i can improve/ add to this list. Remember, i want this to be somewhat cometitive, but not completely tournement competitive. Also remember i want this to be a max total of 1850. Please and thanks!

Well i have absolutely no experience with orks but id definately shave some of the boyz from some of the mobs and give them trukks. so they can keep up with your boss for one and secondly so they dont get shredded by shooting armies like tau, necrons or imperials.

add more boyz and some kans, do half choppa, have shoota. screw the nob squad imo(cost too much, can get extra boys for the points to do more)add more lootas if you want, cant go wrong with them. personally, i use a wierdboy instead of a warboss, he does more and is alot more fun to play with(getting deepstriking the first turn always screws up the enemy's plans)grots wouldnt hurt, always a nice meat shield. otherwise, seems good to me. you might want to consider some bikers once you've played around for awhile or maybe some kommandos

Ok first of shootas is the only real option for footslogging and add 2 big shootas in each mob can also make them 30 man strong then with 3 big shootas. Add bosspole to your nobs always a good insurance.

alright thanks for the tips so ar. Alex87, im not doing the trukks mainly because if i go all trukks, i dont feel lootas would fit the army as well. I like the idea of splitting the boys with shoots and slugga/choppa evenly, but skurken, i can see why you would use only shootas. Im just tempted with the choppa option because of the new rules for running and such. Personally, i kinda like the nob bikes. I know they are a pricey unit, but in the past they pay off more than their points in about 80% of my games, simply because im selective on who to send em after. More tips welcome though! And and jacksonhighlander, your right on lootas, if i have more points after a fill other "more mandatory" spots, ill definatly add more. You can never have too many lootas, lol.

Battlewagons are a very reliable way to deliver boyz into battle, and they are modestly priced. You also might want to get a couple klaws for the nobz, or at least get a couple big choppas. Boss poles are great, especially for small squads, and get big shootas or rokkits for your shoota boyz. Don't forget that the Nob can take a big shoota or rokkit.

i take it you mean the nob bike squad. and i would go witht eh uge choppas, not so much the PK because thats putting another 50 points into an already expensive unit.
