Guess it's good.

Put a Grot Rigger on your Meganobz Battlewagon. You don't want that one to stay immobilised.

Looks solid. You have most of the prerequisites and have a fairly well rounded army.

Take a look at dashofpepper's list. He also includes a BW full of burnas and has a mechanized list akin to yours. You could drop a boyz slot for a battlewagon for the mass of burnas you could throw in there. He seems to rather enjoy the list because a bw full of burnas is great versus other horde armies.

The extra points left over....maybe....warbuggies squadron?

Kommandos aren't really that good. You can't do a massive amount to vehicles and only have burnas. Orks in the open will just die.

Meganobz don't have cybork bodies so won't last long against a dedicated assault unit which will be used to counter them.

My friend is trying out something similiar and he laims the kommandos and snikrot dont do much. I play mech guard and I think that boarding planks are one of the meanest things in his army, so I might suggest you take more of those. Also, he runs musical nobs w. a pain boy (nobs all equipped differently) which I find incredibly hard to kill. Aside from that, nice list. I could be wrong saying I'm often playing against and not as orks.

Awesome thanks for the input. I will add more boarding planks and some grot riggers on my BW's. Thinking of dropping the lootas to 10 and adding a mob of 18 or so grots to come on reserve and hold objectives in my deployment. I know it doesn’t fit my theme but it will help the rest of the army to concentrate on moving forward.

I agree about MANZ, they get cut down my PW toting assault squads like cheese. I just don’t know what to have as a bodyguard for Ghaz. A regular nob squad decked out in diverse wargear is great (my personal favorite) but ghaz's ‘slow and purposeful’ rule would slow them down if they lose their ride. I'm going to have to tweak this part.

I disagree about Snikrot however. If timed and played correctly, he is a great trump card. Everyone always say, "well he doesn’t make up his points." Yeah well sometimes that is true. Nevertheless, his ability to act as a diversion and cause panic is immeasurable for a army that needs such tactics to be effective. IMO, If I’m not in you're face by turn 3, I've lost the game.

you need more anti armor, if you play a mechanised space marines hes gonna step on you

Kommandos either kick butt or do nothing. I find that when I use them I have to save my Waaugh for when they come in - but when they work they do work well. The are great for shooty guys like Tau hugging the back edge. I have had a horrible streak of luck rolling for reserves lately, so I am cautious.

I would rather run some Coptas for early assault or outflanking. Distracts them from your BW's, maybe get rid of a tank or two.

When I have run Ghaz I give him 18 slugga boyz in the BW, they can go different directions when they get out.

Remember I.C's roll 3D6 when moving through cover. And SnP counts as moving through cover . So it's not as bad but still might not move the full 6".

Ahhhh I forgot about that rule. 3d6 is a lot better than 2d6. Thanks a lot man this changes everything. I am sooo dropping the Meganobs! I think mob or 8 or so "regular" Nobs sounds better.

No worries. Only other way round is getting mad dok anmd giving the meganobz cybork bodies. Though depends how bad you want that big mek, or even ghaz.

New deffrolla ruling means all your wagons should have them.

Yup changing list now. Actually rule was always there just non-Orkie players had the problem with them. But it's nice to have it official. Just got to find 60 points now lol

I find a group of diversified nobz are better than MANZ anyday, though I usually run a warboss with them instead of Ghaz

Agree on Snikrot, drop him.

Don't shave down your lootas any lower than 12. Ten may still seem like a lot but they will die quick.

Has there been a ruling of deffrollas? Has common sense prevailed?

yeah new FAQ came out today to clarify deffrollas.

I wouldn't say deth rollas are a must....hear me out before boo'ing lol.

Deffrollas inflict D6 hits on a vehicle, you could get a 1,2 or a 5 or 6 who knows. Against a land raider you need a 4+ to even glance still. When mowing down troops it just does S10 hit, still allows armour saves. So I would give that rolla some thought.

And yes, the deff rolla doing vehicles over before ti got FAQ'd was blindingly obivously it could be done. The words "special kind of tank shock" under ramming is a dead give away when it says under the deff rolla "tank shock" lol.
