My first attempt at Orks. Comments are most welcome:

HQ
Warboss: Klaw, squig, cybork, 'eavy armour - 115

ELITES
10 Lootas: - 150

10 Lootas: - 150

10 Lootas: - 150

TROOPS
7 Nobz: 2 klaw, 2 big choppa, all 'eavy armour, Waaagh! banner, 2 bosspoles, painboy, grot orderly, all cyborks - 330
1 Trukk: - 35

25 Slugga Boyz: Nob, Klaw, bosspole - 190

25 Slugga Boyz: Nob, Klaw, bosspole - 190

25 Slugga Boyz: Nob, Klaw, bosspole - 190


TOTAL: 1500

My plan is:
Warboss and nobz zoom up and take care of big threats.
Lootas take care of transports and other vehicles.
Boys take care of whatever comes out.

Please help, I really don't know what i'm doing here...

Note* my nobz are all wargeared differantly (if that makes sense)

With that many lootas, go for a Mek with SAG. Though unreliable, it can be quite useful.

Also, spit at least 1 of your 25-strong Boyz Mobz into smaller squads to hold objectives.

Only one trukk will not make it. It will get blown before the game even begins. Split one large mob into two smaller and buy them trukks. But mek with KFF for other squads. Drop 10-20 lootas and take some deffkoptaz to force the enemy to fire at them or sacrifice some of their vehicles to them. It will also increase chances of trukks.

Well, you're splitting your army in half; leaving three undersized units in the rear of your field and delivering the rest of your army a piece at a time to an enemy that is probably ideally equipped to deal with a little anti-tank and a little anti-troop.

I think you need to fundamentally rework how you want to play your Orks; don't expose and split your army apart into easily mulched pieces!

I would say the main problem is the fat needs trimming. You want your Orks to be a lean green machine. We can work with 3 fat squads of Sluggas, but 3 loota squads is too much at this pt lvl i think. If you dropped 2 loota squads and most of the flashy gitz for your WB/Nobs, you could field 2 trukks and 2 Warbosses and 5 Nobs each, and have enough left over for more stuff (fast stuff). Then you would have PK's in 5 units, that's alot of anti-tank right there.

Yes, thanks guys. As i metioned it was my first attempt at orks.
Looks like its back to the drwaing board.

2x5 nobz + boss in trukks 720 pts., 2x25 boyz on foot 380 pts., 2x12 boyz in trukks 314 pts. + 3 separate koptaz 135 pts. thats approx 1550 pts so you will drop something (like some unnecessary upgrades or one kopta or one trukk adding those boyz to your footslogging mobz or make them shootas on objectives)
