Right, so a trukk can take 12 units. I'm planning on fielding 60 boys. The rulebook says that you cannot split squads in transports, so does that mean I have to have like 5 trukks carrying squads of 12 boyz if I want to get them all the way across the field in a hurry? I mean, how long is a squad of 12 boyz going to last?

How do you effectively use trukks?

If you want to take 60 orks in trucks you need to have then in 5 mobs. 12 boys wont last long on their own against big things but they will do well against most infantry. Against MCs and dedicated combat infantry you have to multi-charge them. 24 orks (along with 2 PK nobs) will kill most things on the charge without difficulty. Put a KFF mek in one of your trucks so they they can all benifit from the KFF (makes them 'obscured' wich gives then a 4+ cover save). If you want to take bigger mobs then you can put them in battlewagons, which can carry 20 boys, although this will take up some of your HS slots as well.

12 boyz are actually quite hard. For example, 12 boyz w/ Pk nob vs. 10 space marines w/ sergeant.

SMs: 12 attacks, 6 hits, 3 wound, 0.5 saved. 2.5 dead, we'll call it three.

Remaining orks: 32 attacks, 16 hit, 8 wound, 3ish dead with one probably a sergeant, heavy or special weapon carrier.
PK nob: 4 attacks, 2 hit, 2ish dead.

Orks win by 2.
