hey, this is my first time creating a topic on dakka dakka so please bare with me.

I'm starting an Ork army, I normally play IG with a focus on meltas and veterans so decided to make a tank heavy ork force, i know this may not be anything entirely new but it is something I haven't played so was hoping to attempt to make a force based on a mechanized ork army.

I have taken the models I have, some given too me, others conversions I've made from my old fantasy orcs as well as bits laying around. These are all the models I have in regards to ork models and I attempted to make a force out of it.

any feedback or comments would be appreciated, thanks

all orks who cah have stikkbombs have them


i have played one game with a variate of this army which had a ton more trukks, and battlewagion and tons of boyz but it was a mixture of my old fantasy models being count as and the orks I had at the time. This is my version of that army with what I have.

I thought of having the warboss with the Troop nob group in the battlewagion along with 10 slugga boys, my other battlewagion would hold the 10 boyz shoota group, my looted tank would have the 5 nobz and the big mek with KFF. these tanks would move up while I had the deffkopters and the kommandos outflank to knock out rear armor or help contest objectives. I like having the deffkopters in separate squads so it poses more targets for my enemy to shoot at and can contest more objectives. the killa kan and warbuggie were just things I made during my spare time and threw into the list cause I had them.

thoughts, suggestions, comments, all would be appreated.
thanks

Firstly, remove ALL individual points costs from units. GW gets cranky when people do this. Just list the unit, the upgrades, and the final cost.

Now onward!
Looted Wagons blow, ditch it. You are playing a mechanized assault list, ditch the killkannon, you wanna be moving full speed and thus wont fire it. Buggies suck, just use the kopta's. Kanz should have grotzooka's, they arent the most fitting unit in a mech ork list, but they are good at guarding your rear. Stikkbomms are a WASTE, you will strike last anyway. Never take a Nob without a PK. Trukks should have RPJ, R. Ram, and Boarding plank. BW should have Rolla or Ram, 1 Big Shoota, Boarding plank, mebbe a grabbin klaw, thats it.

That is a mess but I don't really feel like retyping things I have typed recently. Search through the massive amount of Ork lists of recent memory for more advice, and look for anything by dashofpepper. PM me if you would like more detailed help and I will reply as soon as I can.

ive also been worried about anti-tank weaponry, and since i battle a ton of relatively tank heavy armies was wondering how you went about dealing with antti-tanks in a mechanized ork army, do i really have to rely on PKs?
