what do people think???

I think you're making a mistake with the theme of your list, especially given what your partner is taking.

He's got limited ranged firepower to serve as anti-tank, and some close range anti-tank and anti-horde. Its rounded, but not meant for teaming up with someone else. You as an ork player need to have a talk with him. He has the ability to take good long ranged anti-tank but has no real CC threat, and you can't match his ability to take long ranged anti-tank, but your close combat is mean.

He should be taking as much cheap anti-tank as he can, maybe even a manticore. You should be taking the close combat element to the pairing. Mobs of boyz. On foot.


When an opponent team looks at your pairing, they're going to see exactly 4 long range threats.

1. Vendetta
2. Vendetta
3. Your battlewagon
4. Your trukk

Not necessarily in that order. I think in 850 points, he should give up the chimeras and focus on heavy weapons while you focus on mobbing the enemy with bodies.

yeh thats what i was thinking, but i don't want to tell him how to write his list and he's normally pretty good with stuff like this so i'm trusting him and workin on my half
hopefully whoever we play will be pooin ther pants over his vendettas while my orkses are gettin nice an close relatively unscathed lol
