Hey all,

Got a few army lists to critique. In my area, we usually either play 1500 or 2000, so I've got variants at either points value. I'm aware that not all (or possibly any) are tourny winners... just wanted to get your ideas on the general themes of the armies.

Well, if I haven't bored you to tears yet, please feel free to share your comments.

List 1:
-If you are going to footslog then switch to shootas. Also give each squad 3 big shootas.
-Not a fan of storm boyz, maybe add lootas instead.

List 2:
-Give both Meks KFF

List 3:
more boyz. Trukk mobs are fun, but add 2 squads of 20 will help.

The big reason why I'm using slugga boyz over shootas in list 1 is to have them run towards the enemy. Their sole purpose is to charge like all hell into enemy lines and kill as much as possible. The shoota boyz with the big shootas are more of an objective grabber unit. Sit on an objective and dakka any infantry that gets too close to death... hopefully. As for the stormboyz... well... they give players around here absolute fits. I play against gunline infantry armies a fair bit, so anything that can possibly assault 1st turn is a good thing

As for list 2, just wanted a bit of variety. That and I got a SAG model right when they came out, so I'd like to use the little blighter somewhere. But yeah, 2 KFF meks would be better than just one I agree.

Again, agreed on the last list. I'd like to add larger boyz mobz, but can't get around how to add them in and keep with the theme of what is essentially an ork demolition derby. I guess I could drop two of the trukk squads to get those two units of 20 boyz for the wagons.


I'm trying to eventually build all three of these lists. I have a ton of orks from back in 3rd edition, plus a lot of the new stuff, and am looking to eventually be able to field all three of these lists simultaneously for apocalypse level games But oi, the painting!
