Ok, I need a little advice on a good use of some points for my Orks (who look suspiciously like LatD.) I originally built the list to have 15 lootas in the elites spot, but since then I have been unable to come up with a conversion plan I like, and also am thinking they are just sort of there, sitting alone in the backfield screaming “Pie plate!” or “Deep Strike and shoot me!” So I am trying to come up with some different ideas for replacements.

Here is the list at current:

HQ
Warboss MegaAarmor,AttackSquigg 115pts

Zog W'Ort 145

Elite
15xLoota 225
Snikrot & 9 kommandos w/ 2 burnas 205

Troops
5x Mega Nobz 200
BattleWagon Armor, Bigshoota 100

20x Shootas, 2 Rokkits, Nob/claw 174

3 Trukk Boys mobs (Trukk w/Red Paint Stikkbombs, 11 Boys, 1 Nob w/claw and pole, rokkit) 165 each

Heavy Support
2x Battlewagon Killkannon, Harcase 165

1996 pts

Nothing too crazy, and not really going to win any tournaments, but not bad I don’t think (or hope).

Now, I thought of a few different ways to blow 225 points.

Plan A: Bikers
1: Get a red paint job and death rolla for the Nobs’ wagon. Give one mega nob a kombi skorcha
2: Give two slugga nobs heavy armor (mainly because they are biggerized chaos marines model wise)
3: 6 man Biker squad with Nob with power claw.

Plan B: Storm Boys
1: Get a red paint job and death rolla for the Nobs’ wagon. Give one mega nob a kombi skorcha, lose Armor on Battlewagon.
2: Give two slugga nobs heavy armor (mainly because they are biggerized chaos marines model wise)
3: Stormboyz squad with Zagstruk & 9 stormies.

Plan C: Something with Buggies and Killa Kans

Now, each choice is largely predicated on “Neat unit, with cool conversion possibilities”. However, I don’t want to spend hours converting figures only to want to set them on fire after using them for a few games. So which do you think fits the theme/strategy (such as it is…) of this sorta speed freak army?

okay. not a bad list for fun. zog is not really that "good" he is a fun HQ. i really like warboss on bike, and then warboss in mega armour. you should have 2 meganobz with combi-schorcha. you battlewaggon shouldn't have a big shoota. make it the DEFROLLA! tankshock everything you can, and when it goes down, ASSULT! fun fun. also, the kilkannon is not a worth while upgrade for its point cost. drop that, and you get antoher, what 120pts i believe. Plan "b" looks the best. but if you drop the kilkannons, you can have more stormies. which after reading them like 15 times on sunday. thye are really good. better than i first thought. zag is really, REALLY good. and the ability for the stormies is really nice. but you need to have a full squad or close to it for zag to be really efficient.

the only way 6 man biker squad is good....well it isn't. 6 isn't enough, you need a 10 man nob squad to make orc bikes playable, and even then, you need a painboy to make it the best it can be. normal bikes are a waste of pts. armour isn't bad on the battle, but put the hardcase on the one with the troops. open-toped with megas in there, well if they get a lucky pen on turn one, a 2+ is imbolized, 3+dead...you get the point. if you put defrollas on the other 2, and drop the kannon, they can roll in a backwards v formation with the nobz in the back and yeah. R A P E!!!!!
