Total comes out right under 1850. The basic strategy is that the truks with Nobz go right at the high priority targets, while the BW move up the field. The 2 boyz trukks are behind the battle wagons. Everything is in KFF range until turn 2 where hopefully they are getting stuck in.

C&C welcome.

Its a pretty good list, however i think some lootas would be good in there. Perhaps drop a unit of 12 boyz. When you expand to 2000 take 10 lootas brings it nicely up from 1850 to 2000pts.

Nobz need a battlewagon, they can take one as dedicated support - also need more as 5 isn't a lot.

Meganobz in a trukk will be a prime target and get busted in no time. I would invest as little points as possible in their trukk, or throw them in a wagon. You don't want the meganobz foot slogging.

You also want to invest as less as possible on your trukks for the boyz. If anything I would go with red paint job only. They're just too weak.

Deffkopters are better in singles and take a buzzsaw on one of them. You are immune to morale tests almost then when you start taking wounds. Very annoying when in singles

Here is some deffkopter tactica I written on my blog: http://imperiusdominatus.blogspot.com/2009/10/ork-deffkopter-tactica.html

Problem with this list is ranged anti tank. My old list was very very close to this, except I ran a unit of lootas. I now have two units of lootas and dropped the meganobz. I would throw some rokkits onto the boyz as a help.

i agree with the deffkopta comment and the meganobz comment. trukks are too fragile.
get BW for the meganobz. also if you insist on haveing just 5 nobs. remove the BP's because dealing wounds on your self will just make life a lot harder. i would suggest lowering your squad of 20 boys to 12 and putting them into the trukk and making your meganobs/nobs with warboss go into BW.


just a suggestion try out your list like this:

This comes out to the exact same pointage as your list try running it like that i tried to keep your config as much as possible

Thanks for the suggestions.

I think I'll try it both ways to see what works best. I know ranged anti-tank is the problem with all orks lists, and I figure a PK is just as effective as 2 turns of ork shooting. I was debating not inculding regular nobz (insert unit of lootas) but I figured the more PK the better. I will definatly include them when I run this at 2K or higher, as well as expand the number of nobz.

I would drop the shooty BW and get some more deffcoptas, or some more nobs.

You want your Shooty wagons to remain static, while the rest of your army is gonna be forward turn one. Doesnt work well.

If you want ordanance, go for a looted wagon+ boomgun.

What shooty wagon? The cannon fired frag is a defensive wep. and the 2 big shootas are there to soak up extra wepon's destroyed.
