Hello all, this is one of my first posts here, sorry for it being a question to be asked, but how is this for a 750 point Orks list. Mostly foot slogging, strategy is the keep the shootas in cover and blast away, sluggas go into combat, then shootas get out of cover and clean up afterwords. This is for a 4 game tourney at my Local GW tomorrow. Thanks again.

Feasting on the souls of unworthy opponents

Having a single trukk is asking to get it shot out. You'll see a recurrent theme in the ork army list posts here, but the best bet for Orks is to pick a theme and run with it instead of trying to mix multiple themes. You can do well with any theme, but when you mix them all together (mobile, shooting, assault) and try getting all of them, you can't do it.

My suggestion:

If you want to go with foot slogging, then drop the truck. Change out your slugga/choppas for all shootas. Increase your squad sizes to 30. keep a Nob with a PK in each squad. If you get to set up terrain, that's plenty - put down forest and use it for cover. If not, consider one of the following:

1. Gretchin: 29 gretchin + 2 runthereders = 107 points, and provide a 4+ cover save to everyone behind them.
2. 30 Nobs + Mad Dok Grotsnik = Feel no pain on everyone. Give them 'Ard Boyz mob (1 per army) and you have 4+ armor, 4+ feel no pain on everyone, and they give 4+ coversaves to everyone behind them.

I'd get rid of the Big mek as a second HQ, and give your warboss 'Eavy armor....OR sub in Mad Dok.

But yeah - if you want a foot slogging army, stick to it.

Agree here a bit here. A single trukk in 750 points army begins to be pretty random. Either you make whole your army mobile or atleast make a squadron of 3 trukk packed with boyz so they actually can reach the enemy early and get stuck in before they are blown up by shootier armies.

Otherwise as Dashofpepper says, your not far away making your army proper for foot slogging with what you already got. But as always, whatever you choose to play with, choose someting that you feel comfortable with that's fun.

Good luck!

Why not take the third runtherd and give them grotprods? Then they can do some damage, I mean, do people really shoot on the grots?
