1999 point total.
108 basic orks count.
5 dreads.

i know the list is fairly weak as mass armour will walk all over it (well, drive), any suggestions to make it any stronger?
allthough, it MUST keep 5 dreads, simply for the reason they are amusing to play with, and great fun to convert, and i love the idea of them.

the SAG and lootas should provide an ok ammount of fire, but not enough to depend on.
dreads are simply CC only, skorchas added for a bit of ranged fire before assult.

kommandos have only been put in the list for amusement, allthough its tempting to drop them and take another unit of lootas.

need some ideas to make this list playable.

you are KILLING me with that 5 dread requirement... Here is one of my all time favorite dread bash lists. (This one does VERY well in tourneys.)

that's probably 2k. Depending on your dreads. That army will rock many peoples worlds. Take it to 3k with stompas, and you have the evolution of stompiness. It's all in theme. Lootas hang out with the meks so they can get their deffguns upgraded, meks field test their dreads and kans. the 60 boys are there because there is always some boys, and the grots are following them around so they can be next in line for a killa kan upgrade.

Sticking with your caveat of 5 dreads... you could probably replace the killa kans point for point with dreads. It really changes the dynamic of the list. One of the big reasons the kans work so well is that its a shooty list. You spread the kans wide and when the enemy shoots through the gaps in the kans formation, your boys get 4+ cover. But... if you most stomp and smash wif just da big ones... try this...

You've really gone from gunline with slow assault power to just a flat out, run, run, run, assault. it still keeps the mek theme, with burna boys stripping and salvaging all the dead dreads and enemy tanks. I can't really call this list functional without adding snikrot pressure, since you are essentially doing absolutely nothing for the first two turns. So he goes in and his added cost means you'll have to lose your grot campers.

i got more to say I think... but it's not coming to me. Maybe if you reply I'll elaborate some more.

hope I was helpful

once i decide on a solid list ill start to build the army

also, once this one is done i was thinking of a 9 kan army with plenty of grotz to bulk it out, but meh.

only reason the grotz made this list was for numbers.


sorry about the 5 dread req lol, just something i need to do, and on that note, undercoat on 1st dread should be dry, so im off for a bit

thanks

I run a Dread list like this and havent run in to any competition yet but its a tourney soon so we will se there.

3x30 Shootas

20 grotz

2x15 Lootas

3x3 Kanz

2 Dreads with 4DCCW

I'd take Kanz over Dreads, decent weapons and three times as many models.
