Take out the trukks,thin down the points on the boyz,and you will be at a good point value with some boyz sitting back home,nobz charging as troops!(warboss),and some fast stuff going in and killing 'oomans!Waaaagh!

Hey there.

I'm not a fan of taking army lists specifically to beat on another list, but if you KNOW you're going to be facing IG, why not build a list specifically good at beating on them?

My advice:

2x units of 15 Lootas. If you don't have enough Lootas for this, 2x units of 5 Lootas, or 2x Units of 15 Lootas....I don't know how many you have, but 5/15 is best.
1x Unit of Kommandos with Snikrot. Back Table edge ambush into the rear of chimeras and other nasty stuff.
3x units of two Deffkoptas; both with Buzzsaws and twin-linked rokkits and one with a big bomb.

You have no KFF - you absolutely need to drop the trukk boyz. Lose them. Stick shoota boyz into your Loota mobs to bump their numbers up. Keep your warboss with 10 nobs on bikes (they can multi-assault across a wide front), but make sure all 10 are uniquely equipped. Add an ammo runt here, a kombi-skorcha there, a bosspole on another. Here's my current configuration of 10 nobs:

1. Painboy
2. Bosspole
3. Waaaugh! Banner
4. Powerklaw+Kombi-Skorcha
5. Powerklaw + Kombi-Rokkit
6. Powerklaw + Kombi-Rokkit+Ammo Runt
7. Big Choppa
8. Big Choppa + Kombi-Rokkit
9. Big Choppa + Ammo Runt
10. Normal Nob

Since you're playing a specific game against a specific opponent, don't be afraid to build your list to beat on them. You only need two troop choices to be honest - the nob bikers and another one - make it a mob of boyz. Heck, make it a mob of gretchin. You can stretch a 107 point unit of gretchin (29+2 runt herders) out across 36" of the board and hold three objectives. Presuming your opponent is playing a decent IG list, you just need as much anti-tank as you can get, which is what all the deffkoptas, Lootas, Snikrot and nob bikers are about.

Dash's suggestions are good. 2 trukks will be picked off pretty easily by a guard army. Then you have 2 small squads of boys just waiting to be shot up.

One thing I would disagree with is the Deffkoptas. Take them in units of 1 each. With 2 in a unit, 1 wound forces a LD check - on LD 7. Not good odds.

With the Nob bikerz causing havoc in his lines, you'll be able to footslog troops up the field and will most likely be ignored. Against IG, I think choppa boys are better than shoota boys. I know conventional Ork wisdom is that boys on foot are shootas - but when are you not going to run forward on IG? I know you get tons of shots with shootas but you'll never earn their points back in a gunfight with IG. Run, Run, and Run!

I have never had luck with Snikrot but playing a static IG gunline he would be worth his weight in gold.

From personal experience, lootas and deffcoptas make IG cry. I can't count the number of times a first turn assault from Deffkoptas has taken out one of my basilisks before I even got to shoot, or how often lootas manage to shoot down my vendetta before it can even pop a trukk.

I'd be wary about taking Nob Bikers, while they'll murderate anything in close combat, the IG has allot of weapons that are strength 8 and higher ordinance. Since nob bikers cost upwards of 60pts apiece, the guard can afford to loose a tank for every 2-3 nobs they kill and throw IS squads in the way to buy a turn.
