I am trying to make this 1360 point army into a 2000 point army for Foot Slogging.

HQS:

2x Warbosses- pk, eavy armor, cybork body, bosspole- 200 points total (100 a piece) One Warboss in each nob squad

TROOPS:

x9 Nob- 2 pks, 6 big choppas, all eavy, all cybork bodies, painboy, waagh banner- 360 points total

x9 Nobz- 2 pks, 6 big choppas, all eavy, all cybork bodies, painboy, waagh banner- 360 points total

x30 Slugga Boyz- nob, pk, bosspole- 220 points total

x30 Slugga Boyz- nob, pk, bosspole- 220 points total

TOTAL: 1360

NEED: 640

I was thinking of adding Lootas and Kommandos but don't know how much of each to put in. I hear Kommandos are really good with snikrot, and Lootas are really good when you have 2 squads of 15.

Thoughts? Feelings? Opinoun?

I ran a list quite similar to this at a 1500pt tournament a few months back to be honest, it got stomped. The only none loss I had for the day was a killpoint tie with a Necron Destroyer list. The 2 mobs of 30 were too big to get good cover and only 60 boyz could not overcome most problems.

The main problem is its inherent weakness to template weapons which everyone and their grandma seems to be backing nowadays. I would switch out one of the bosses for a Big Mek with that wonderful KFF, stick him in your center mob and watch as your opponents draw drops and you start making cover saves for a 30 strong mob that usually don't get any. With that center Big Mek mob in place flank it with two more mobs of 30 to create a wall of targets.

Now the nobz, as awesome as they are, do not fare well footsloggin. Even with FNP they tend to get shot up and their low numbers means they need that warboss there to keep them from running. Unfortunately the boss is getting shot up as well! Either toss them in trukks or some wagons to provide a nice flank for your boyz or cut them all together.

As for expanding your army I'd defiantly use lootas in a footslogger army. I don't use them myself personally, but I've seen 2 mobs of 15 chew armies apart before getting shot up enough to run. Which usually means the boyz have been untouched for the most part.

I love Kommandos and used to run a crazy list featuring 3 mobs of 15, 2 burnas and a PK. Unfortunately for every instance of Outflanking at the perfect moment, they would end up in the middle of no where and spend most of the fight running, or never coming onto the table at all. Snikrot fixes this issue, and a single squad with him really can mess with some players.

One thing I tend to notice with footslogger lists is the use of Killa Kan spam, taking up to 9 of those dead ard grots makes a powerful shooty screen for the horde combined with that KFF tends not to die until they hit the line.

Thank your for ur awesome suggestions and ideas!
So i need a big mek for the force field mind explainign the force field rules to me.
Also if i added 15 Kommandos 2 rokkitlauncha and Boss snikrot to outflank.
Aswell as using the rest of the points for maxing Lootas.

So the additions would be Big Mek, x15 Kommandos- boss snikrot, 2 rokkit launcha as well as using the rest of the points into nothign but lootas.

Also please tell em what upgrades to give Big Mek.
Also i was goign to put 2 rokkit launchas in the Kommandos as anti tank/barrage fire upon various units.

Thanks again for your comments what do you think of thsoe ideas?

I don't have my codex off hand, but the KFF gives all units within 6' of the Big Mek a 5+ cover save and treats all vehicles as obscured i.e. giving them a 4+ cover save.
As long as you have at least 1 model from another mob inside that 6 inch range the whole mob gets the cover save. Thus you have the Big Mek centered with your other mobs flanking him and his mob.

The one thing I would suggest for the Kommandos with Snikrot is to not use rokkits, but burnas instead. Only two shots with BS2 at a tank means you can only charge that tank, and Snikrot doesn't have a power klaw so it's kind of a waste. The burnas on the other hand can roast horde mobs like nids or be used as power weapons in melee to crack that Terminator armor. Considering that Snikrot and his boyz will be coming in from the long table edge your chances of flaming something, then charging it is quite high.

Awesome buddy thank you the only down side to Big Mek is losing a nob as a troop choice which is huge!! What shall i put in/take out? Does anyoen else have KFF? Also dont my boyz jsut need the 5up save?

Hey man if you want a true Foot Sloggin army, you need More boyz. The 2 best HQs for Foot sloggin is Ghazzy and a KFF Mech.

Run Full squads of 30 Boyz each with Nob and PK. Throw Ghazzy in a battlewagon with some MANZ and have the KFF Mech run up the field with your boyz. This is the secret to an amazing Foot Sloggin army.

In a 2k List you can get 150 Boyz with a couple squads MANZ (or Nobs) in battlewagons, or you can run 180 Boyz with 1 sqaud of MANZ with gazzy in a BW.

you can check out my lists that i have posted...i run a footsloggin 1750 and 2000 and 2500 list and they work amazing. I dont lose very often.

also, you commented on Lootas. If you want a true foot sloggin army, you will have 5 or 6 full squads of 30. That is enough to tie up almost everything in the other players army...therefore you wont be able to shoot at anything with your lootas after turn 2. With ghazzy, turn 2 assaults are a common thing. If your going footsloggin, roll out any shooty units.

I hope this helped. Oh and run all Sluggas, your going to want to run during the shooting phase.

I have an idea 3 wagons

x1 Wagon with a meganob squad in it with warboss

x2 Wagons with 20 boyz squads each.

and possibly a elite squd of kommandos and snikrot.

and then 2 squds of packed lootas as last.

With that what upgrades do i need for my wagons?

Also can mega nobz have a warboss, and painboy in there squad if so can they ahve mega armour?

Unfortuantly Meganobz cannot have a Painboy, but you can have a Warboss join their squad with no problems.

Battlewagons are always fun and have enough options to be good in any role. If your wagons are just going to transport lots of boys its best to keep them cheap in points as they will draw alot of fire.

There is an excellent Tactica in the Article section of this site that has excellent write ups for all of the Ork units. Here is a link to the battlewagon section:

Hope it helps.

Thanks man I am now reworking my army posting it ASAP thank you so much!
