I'm not sure if I should use kannons instead. Also I'll probably be playing Nids a lot. Would deathkoptas w/ rokkits be more effective against armor.

Thats pretty sick...the good way
But I would trade the lobbas for a battlewagon,and take out the bike on the boss,and give him a personal ride!

I have that many points but to make it competitive I need to convert another bw, I will more than likely steal another land raider from my space marines. I will see if I can get it done by this weekend

Just wondering why put him on bike, you ant him alone? I'd suggest running him on foot with one of the boyz mobs, boost their leadership, and gain the protection of 31 more wounds before he croaks, you can also allocate wounds onto him <with his better saves> then the regular boyz and suck up a few dead boyz that way.

excellent, make sure you run it with some boys for some REAL carnage, maybe even the warbosses unit? 'ere we go to the backside of their infantry for some fun shenanigans

The nice thing about lobbas, stick em behind a wall, they dont need LOS, keep them gretchins safe!

I'd suggest your middle unit have the ic's if you attach them, for the added 4+ cover save when it inevitably draws fire BECAUSE of the ic's

I put the boss on a bike because I had points to burn and that way I could put him where I need him( protecting the lobbas from a deepstrike for example) ,but I think I might drop the bike and give the boss and all the nobs some 'eavy armor and get some ammo runts for the lobbas.

Are you using any RL or big shootas in your mobs and haven't listed it? If you aren't, think about using big shootas in your mobs of boyz. That'd help to whittle down your opponent before you reach him.

'eavy armor is a good purchase but in mobs that large it may not be worth it.

I would also suggest making the boss walk because as a lone biker he is too easy of a target.

I generally think that orks should be running instead of shooting but I suppose I could run a single shoota mob to use some Big Shootas or RL because I already have about half of he boys and there sluggas. I'm definately going to make da boss footsloggin. I can see your point with the 'eavy armor but I don't know what else to spend my spare 42 points on(from dropping the bike). Any Ideas?

got room for another troop? 10 gretchin and herder bullet screen

That's not a bad idea I guess I'll just have to experiment to see if like the 'eavy armor and ammo runts better first and if don't i can try grots.
I think i'm ready to buy the rest of my army!

Go back to http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/287917.page and drop Anpu a PM, it's at his place and he gives much better directions then I do

I would go but I can't drive that far plus I still need to buy most of these models.

Now, that warboss should be on foot with the boys, he is going to get chewed up real quickly otherwise.

The weirdboy is a fun choice, i have found mine to be quite awesome, but you are severely lacking in anti tank power i would eliminate him or make the warboss another weirdboy, as weirdboys can really scare opponents.

Now, a grot screen would be a good idea, and it is horribly cheap.

Your artillery is a meh sorta thing, i have heard mixed reviews on it, but this is going to be the only thing in your army not moving up with the boys so it could be eliminated quickly.

3 groups of boys is great, but your going to find yourself unable to deal with armor and you're spending most of your points on them, don't get me wrong with 90 boys on the table your enemy will be simply unable to kill all of them. However usually you can get the same effect from 2 groups of boys. saving you points for something more anti tank.

What would you reccomend for ani-tank then?

If its only a 1k point battle you dont need a WHOLE lot of tank popping IMHO. But you WILL prolly need a bit of ranged vehicle death maybe throw in a pair of single dethkoptas with TLR and maybe even toss buzzsaws on em if ya want.

As for this, i disagree having him in a large unit is MORE the reason to do it. Normal boys 6+ saves aren't gonna save crud, but if you got a 4+ in there, you can allocate a wound onto him for a 50/50 chance to save it, in this mway you could save a good chunk of boys if you get lucky, just make sure you always stop doing that when he is a single wound left

Small Ork groups can be quit fun I just ran a 500 point list against 500pts of Space Puppies and did surprisingly well (of course it help that the Wolves didn't make any of their Counter Attack rolls )
My list
Warboss
-Powerclaw
-Cybork
-Twin-linked Shoota
-Bosspole
-'eavy Armor
x7 Nobz (count as Troops 'cuse of Warboss)
-Stikkbombz x7
-'eavy Armor x7
-Slugga x7
-Choppa x7
x11 Boyz + 1 Nob
-Big Shoota x1
-Slugga x11
-Choppa x11
-Boss Pole x1

I can quickly bring this up to 1000pts by addin a couple of identical Boyz Mobz or maxing this one and adding a Deff Dred or maby some Deffkoptas

Not bad I would put all the boys in one squad cus orks just run to easily in small numbers. Where the nobs worth the points for you?
Also I played a 750 point game against vanilla marines yesterday. We both had scouts and we got to move his first forcing my death choptas out of cover( we were playing half board and couldn't be within 12 inches of them. then he blew them all to bits turn one and partialy due to my ignorance of marines he managed tosteal my opportunity to Waagh and assault after the game was over. I also had 4 nobs with a warboss with the same gear as yours(they ran and never saw combat) and 2x28 boy mobs with nobs( no pk).I've seen deffchoptas really effectively but I just haven't grasped them yet.
