They rape. And you don't have to get everything at once, just sayin'. With enough lootas, anything AV13 and below will bow on their knees. Troops in the open? They make them go away.

The wagons? They're your only reliable AV14 in the codex. Bring more than one or they'll be overwhelmed with fire.

The KFF Mek just covers them all, and the kans are great shooting (for Orks).

When all else fails, proxy proxy proxy proxy proxy proxy etc.

QFT!

Apocalypse starts at 3k+, IMHO. Where standard 40k falls over.

For Apoc, you'll want lots of shooty boyz!
Trukks and wagons can help rolling your slug-boyz across that table, while your shootas lay down withering firepower as they walk slowly towards the foe!
Backed up with kans, lootas and maybe some fast-attack to harrass with!

I refuse to enter a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

See that defiler? It's gone. Big 'ol squad of bikers? Dead.

You have to set them up correctly, but they definetly pay their points back. 225 for a full squad.

Lootas own everything in the game that has a Toughness...period. They also own AV12 and less, and stillscare AV13. Only AV14 can stand up to mass Loota fire.

Also, you don't have to buy boxes of Lootas.
Mine are converted from AoBR boys with Imperial heavy weapons. You can pick up the Imperial bits and AoBR boys on Ebay pretty cheap...much cheaper than buying actual Lootas. Plus, they will be unique and have truely "looted" weapons.

Ha wow lootas are bad. I think that guy was trying to hide the truth from you. Maybe he's face a squad of 15 lootas unloading on him before.

Though I usually say the first place to start is the nobz box. You need more PKs and bosspoles, and other stuff to kit your nobz out with. Also you need to convert some painboyz. The nobz box has tons of cool stuff for that purpose. It's my favorite box in the ork line. You should have 1 PK and boss pole nob in each boyz squad. 2-3 in a nobz squad.

Also if you bought all those loota boxes you have almost that many burnas as well, which is also an awesome unit to field. You just need to buy the extra bitz (legs, bases), which you might find cheap from online retailers or ebay. You could also just convert some lootas from regular shoota, big shoota boyz. They just need big mean guns with lots of shootey bitz to join the squad.

Lootas are awesome. Until they take casualties and run off of the board, then not so much-but you're playing Orks, right? Every unit in the Ork army has that caveat (though in the case of Lootas I really wish I could get them a Nob with a Bosspole).

Also, the Loota box is a sweet deal. If you're willing to do a little carving on your AoBR lads, you get 4 Burna boys out of that box as well. Plus a MeK with a Rokit Launcha (or a Big Shoota, but you've probably got enough AoBR Big Shootas to last a lifetime).

This is what I would say. Expect that you need 4 boxes of Lootas only because they force you to build one Mek per box, so watch if you can trade Deffguns from friends who built Burnas.
