'Ey lads, I'm quite new here, and newer in 40k as well, I've been following the fluffs and played the computer game, but never actually indulged in the Tabletop version until I got my first set of AoBR!

I've played 2-3 games at the local gaming store and was overwhelmed at how Orks can really kill something even when they're krumped up too. My style hasn't developed yet and there's alot to mix and match for Orks so I'm not sure which to go. I'm leaning towards dakka, although horde can fit me well provided if anyone in the forums can assist me in. I say no to Kult of Speed style because I don't like cars.

Currently that's my list, with the typical Trukk with Nobs charging into anything killy and footslogging them Boyz towards anything else, with Lootas of 2 squad (I assume better survivability) to provide covering fire.

My main opponents uses Chaos beakies, Imperial Guards, fish'ead and Tyranids. I'm not sure on how to tackle them, Chaos and Imperial guards are a pain, especially when they're using 6 missile launchers.

Otherwise, feel free to comment and whatnot, would love to hear some criticism and tactics in regards too.

Your nobz and boss need cybork bodies. Also buy boss a squig because thats cheap extra attack. He also wants combiscorcha. Your nobz are kind of diversified that isgood but you need to make each nob unique. Lootas need to be 10+ strong otherwise they will panic very fast. Meks in there are almost useless. Nobz need a battlewagon because trukk will get killed so quickly. Also i think you need to fit in more than one squad of boyz and then mix them up to give cover to themself.
