I like option 2 the best. But hell your turns are going to take forever...

I play a list very similar to 3. All of mobs are shootas and have 3 big shootas and instead of deff koptas and kannons I use 15 lootas.

It takes about 1/2 hour for your side of a turn.
:(

It is just killy though. ~ 250 - 300 dice per turn...

I'd drop the kannons, deffkoptas, and bike boss for 2 loota squads.

If you are gonna go horde orks, go all the way.

So I have taken your advice and came up with this list what do you think

I have lost the warboss on bike which in turn gives me a bit of mobility

I still have a few points left over to spend where exactly do I spend them

I personally like big shootas over rokkits. Just more chance to hit. Also, I am a fan of Boss Poles on Nobs, it has kept me in assault way more than it has failed.

I like your newest list. Though, I wouldn't do this one very often because no one will like to play with you if they can assemble half an army during your turn. You also gotta keep in mind that some games have time limits. With that many boyz, I'd look into constructing some movement trays.

Pitting boss Poles with the nobs is definitely an option because I do have extra points available for this

In regards to time limits this for me doesn't seem to be a problem as I have practice with the Army.

So here is the newest addition of this list after your suggestions I have managed to put the warboss back in the list.

I suppose there is not much other options available I am very happy with the troop choices, and I do not really want to change this as it is supposed to be green tide. and I have nearly finished painting all of them

I could take one squad of 20 and replace it with Gretchen but I would only be saving a couple of points not really feasible.

So is this as best as I can get it

I still do have points to spare so if I take like the heavy support out, which would free up 60 points I would have another 20 points on top of that so potentially be 80 points still to spend

Do you need that many Boyz. Very sad and boring.

Well it wouldn't be green tide if I didn't and by the sounds of it you're really going to be impressed with the new Imperial guard if that's your tone.

Bearing in mind it could be worse I could have 6 blocks of 30 if I really wanted to.

and looking through your old posts playing with this isn't exactly exciting

2x DP w/ wings, MoS, lash Wouldn't you say this was a bit sad and boring

For a Green Tide/Horde army it looks very good. The only thing I would do different is swap one 30 boyz unit with Shootas with 3 big shootas, make them your frontline to soak up fire power and give your slugga boyz the cover save from standing behind the fire line, they can also with that many shots easily pick through opposing infantry.

My .

So yet another tweak this time around I have taken out all the rockets from the boys

Which means that I can get more lootas 20 seems to be a good number

With the remainder I have went for 9 Kannon hopefully that should be enough for armor

Think we're starting to make some headway the list seems to be a bit more consistent

I like list one better myself due to the boss on bike could be an extra kill point you may have to give up. The ten lootas can fire a lot of shots for the cost of that boss. But I have never been a big fan of soloing independent characters.

But it is worth running both list and finding out which one suits your play style. You can also fit some BPs on your smaller sunits on list one.
