by the way peeps, i was thinking of getting a squad of burnas, a big mek with kustom force field and a painboy (i know that is £34 pounds, but i think i can stretch it lol)..... but im having 2nd thoughts about the big mek, and was thinking of just gettin 2 squads of burna/lootas..... i need help lol

If you play orks, there is but one answer to that question....


More orks.

To be honest mate, it seems like you have a pretty decent army as it stands
Is it worth moving towards apoc sized now?
Throwing in an extra few quid to grab a stompa may be an idea.


Failing that, you could allways top up on painting stuff and other things like that.

Yeah but what orks to get lol... i mean i think i got enough boys for the moment.... need some support, but i dunno what support to use lol

Also, the new deff dread will be out soon
And by all accounts its plastic, so should be around £20-£25 i think.

But i really dont have much, i mean its only ork boy based and i need to use some support options as my orks boys are getting ripped apart wuite quickly lol... I was thinking of getting a big mek with kff, a squad of lootas/burnas and a painboy.. but im having 2nd thoughts about the big mek and was thinking of just two squads of looats.burnas?????

Im torn lol

The loota box is quite the nifty bit o' kit... all those extra bitz and gubbins would feel right at home in your bits box... and loota guns make for good Big Shootas/Dakkaguns for bikes in a pinch...

Hmmm i was thinkin of them lol...... and hey i think i shall go and get them now lol..... but still any other tips wanna be posted, please post lol

Trust me, you WANT a bigmek with a KFF. Those things are priceless, seriously. All you need to do is use him once, and your sold for life. Infantry gets a 5+ cover save, and vehicles get a 4+. I cant even describe how awesome that is

True true bro, i have used a count as model for him before and he did help me a bit.... but i was thinking of not buying one, and instead using the mek parts from the loota/burna box set, mix it up with a warboss/nob and wallah, you have a big mek lol....

Plus another reason is my hq slots are usually warboss and warphead (ghaz instead of warboss depending on pts)

Cause warpheads are just so awesome for there points lol.

Considering you have 3 Warbosses,not counting Ghazzy (and I'll assume the 3 warbosses you have are from AoBR) you should have no problem converting 1 to a big mek with KFF,lots of nice conversion ideas in this forum and others to inspire you.
Now as far as other things you may want to add,I would add another Battle wagon,1 is just going to get shot to pieces by itself.
You may also want to add to your tankbusters sqaud ,5 TBs will be running in no time,so I'd take the 3 extra rokkit launcher boyz you have and add 'em to your tankbusters,then get a Nob to lead them,now they will have some staying power.

Stop using "lol" like it's a punctuation mark. It's just annoying and makes it a chore to read your post.

Now, on to actual advice. A second battlewagon with a deffrolla could be pretty useful. You have 20+ nob models already, and putting 10 of them with a Warboss or KFF Mek in a battlewagon is always a good idea. In addition to this, deffrollas are incredibly fun to use.

As for kitbashing a big mek? Their statline is equivalent to a regular Nob's, so use a Nob for the base of the conversion. I used Mek bitz from the loota box to make my big mek:

Of course he doesn't have a KFF or SAG or anything, since I'm basically using him as a stand in for the lack of nobz available to lootas.
