Hey guys, I've been a long time 40k player, havent played 5th edition yet, stoped playing at the end of 4th cause my assault based marine army was getting boring ( either avalanche wins or loses). Now with the new editon, and the AOBR box sets, i have collected a decent amount of ORKS, not marines, they are gone to the wreckers (AKA various friends). Anyways, as i said, i havent played 5th edition yet, so i dont know whats up. P.S., i have the rule book and codex for orks.

1) I have been reading a while, and i dont understand whats up with the new wound placement system, can someone give me an example compared to the old way?

2) Can someone help me make a list out of these figures? 1500 if posible, 1000 if not.

2 AOBR war bosses

10 AOBR Nobs

50 Slugga boys, 4 big shootas, 1 PK (50 models total, not 55)

6 death kopta's

3 zzap Big Guns

I plan of making whatever vehicles I need, would prefer a more moble style army (lots of trucks, maybe a biker boss)

Thanks for the help

anyone?

Howdy, and welcome to 5th edition.

My Ork army started as 4 AoBR boxes. I bought two, and traded the marines inside for Orks in two others.

Wound allocation: Defenders assign wounds, and each wound group must spread wounds equally. If I have a group of 10 nobs, and all 10 nobs are equipped differently, I have 10 wound groups. If you do 10 wounds to me, I must assign those 10 wounds equally amongst my wound groups. That means that every nob gets 1 wound. Thus, even if I fail all 10 wounds, you didn't kill anyone, you just wounded all my nobs.

As for your list, let me tell you this: I've typed pages and pages in other peoples' Ork army list threads, and I play mobile orks. Instead of me typing all that again here, check out the first two pages of the Army list section here and read some of what I wrote. It applies to you and will explain tactically why what I'm writing here works. You're going to have to shuck out for a couple of trukks, and do some proxying until you have real models, but that's ok.

HQ1: Warboss, Powerklaw, 'Eavy Armor (90 points)
HQ2: (Proxied) Ghazghkull Thraka (225 points)

Troop 1: 10 AoBR Nobs (troop choice because of your warboss) equipped as follows: (451 points)
1. Painboy
2. Bosspole
3. Waaugh! Banner
4. Powerklaw
5. Powerklaw, Ammo Runt
6. Powerklaw, Kombi-Skorcha
7. Big Choppa
8. Big Choppa, Ammo Runt
9. Big Choppa, Kombi-Skorcha
10. Normal Nob

'Eavy Armor on everyone
Trukk, Red Paint, Reinforced Ram (Ghazghkull is inside with the nobs)

Troop 2: 12 Boyz inside a trukk with Red Paint and Reinforced Ram; Nob with a powerklaw (152 points)
Troop 3: Same (152 points)
Troop 4: Same )152 points)
Troop 5: Same (152 points)

Fast attack 1: 3 Deff Koptas (TL Rokkits) (135 points)
Fast attack 2: 3 Deff Koptas (TL Rokkits) (135 points)

That's about the max points that you can make with what you've got - comes out to 1644 points. If you added in a few points (Buzz saw on a couple of Deff Koptas) you could get 1750 points. If you want to kick it down to 1500 points, drop the warboss and it takes you down to 1554; you can combine two boy squads, drop a nob with a PK to get a foot-slogging unit....there's a lot of proxying to be done regardless. =p

Thanks for the list, as i said, Im Scratch building all my trucks so thats not a problem, and I forgot to mention that the store that I play at doesnt allow Special Characters. thanks.

Hrm...

If they don't allow special characters, then I presume they're not a GW sanctioned store? If they're going to pick and choose which GW rules they want to follow, I hope they don't use GW prize support. I'd find another store to be honest.

Actually it is a GW sanctioned store, but we just have house rules for our in house tournaments, this is just a fun tournament, and the prizes are gift certificates. And my uncle owns the store so i wont be finding another one... also the only store in St.Catharines

Ouch that sucks that you can't use Gazzy. Dash suggested a pretty solid list there. My only suggestion would be to get a KFF Mech instead of Gazzy and then swap some trukks for BW's or just add more trukk boys with the extra points from dropping Gaz.
