Zmile fancies gear. therefor looted stuff and rebuilded stuff to mock the humeis.
So the waaagh has a mixed style of looted dakka and lots of boys.

This is what i have so far:

1xWarboss + 10xNobz(+painboy)
30xboys
30xboys
5x Lootas
1x Looted wagon

i cant really decide what to take next, i would prefere something like, Kommandos, deffkoptas or stormboys. +more lootas.
And after that ill make Zmile and his company (Meganobz) and more boys..

i think i would need somekind of Anti-Veichles.
or somethign to land on my enemys fast..

i have though of maybe
5x Deffkoptas with twinlinked rokkitslaunchas as AT
30x kommandos for upholding the enemy at the begining.

Best thing you can do right now is to convert that Looted Wagon into a trukk, or convert it into a battlewagon, or smash it for terrain....but you should absolutely not use it in a game.

Second, if you're planning on units of boyz (which it kinda looks like here) your next goal should probably be 5x more Lootas. Keep in mind that a Loota (Deffgun) is simply the biggest shooty that the Ork could find. Convert your own - I've turned all my big shootas into Lootas by adding gubbins.

A warboss and Nobs is a potent unit if you diversify them for wound allocation shenanigans, and give them cybork bodies. This unit *needs* to be in a battlewagon though, or on bikes.

Deffkoptas: Acquire a couple! If you're doing SM conversions, get a landspeeder, stick a whirly helicopter blade on it and a buzzsaw (plasticard cut out) and you're golden. Some of the best anti-tank is a deffkopta with a twin-linked rokkit and a buzzsaw. If you go first you have the ability for a turn1 assault against a vehicle that hasn't moved yet. Rear armor.

Take some flashgits in a trukk or more lootas. Other than this I recommened getting more boys if your running that kind of army.

Flashgits in a trukk might seriously be the worst unit I have ever heard of. Bad gurgle!

sorry, kinda lost my train of thought. I must really like flashgits.

Deffkoptas are pretty cheap and easy to acquire.

Lootas are great.

Don't listen to what people say about Looted Wagons, if it makes you happy, field it.

Flash Gitz seem pretty good, but I've never actually put them on the table. Actually, I'm considering fielding a minimum unit of Flash Gitz as a bodyguard for my SAG so I can use their Ammo Runts....

Whaat no! the looted wagon rocks! love it, well i havent played mutch and not acording to w40k standard table.. Me and my frined usullay play at 75" away from eachother. He is playing chaos. anyway the Looted wagon is a symbol for fun ass well ;D cus its looted.

Battlewagon for the warboss and nobz sounds like something. Should i have some addons? ive seen Deff-Rolla which is awsome! ;D
Hmmm.. i have a question here.. can you have both eavy armor and cyborg body? And also, does the "mob rule" apply when the warboss enters the nobz mob. (Da Big Boss)

Yeah lootas aint that good either.. miss alot, but when they hit! Mwargh! fun gotta have some more.

Woah the deffkoptas thing sounds awsome thanks for the tip!

hmm.. maybe 2 trukks for some of more boys.

I have found that Lootas are useful for one thing; tapping your opponent's armor so it can't shoot railguns or battlecannons or whatever at you. All you have to do is glance it, and no matter what, that tank won't be firing. After that, use it to soften up your opponent's stuff. Either way, they're only useful in mobz of 10 or more; I like 12, for some reason. Just do the math; You're hitting 1/3 of the time, and usually only glancing 1/3 of the time, and usually they're Obscured, saving against half the glances, so you need to be firing A LOT. 5 Lootas doesn't usually accomplish much.

75 inches seems alot for orks to get into combat. Try playing a game where you are 24 inches from each other.

Looted wagons are terrible. Barely better than a Trukk, expensive as feth, and they eat your precious Heavy Support slots.

'eavy Armor and Cybork can be on the same model.

Mob rule always applies, but you can also use the highest Ld of any model in the unit.

Why are looted wagons so bad, I don't have my codex on me at the moment, I would get some space marine dreads, and make them kans or something that would look really nifty and kans are pretty good.

If you don't get the boomgun, they're a slightly better trukk, but they take a FOC slot so it limits your army.

If you do get the boomgun, you just paid way too much for a gun that has little to no survivabilty, and you can't even transport anymore.

Plus, don't press dat is awful.

Well, the only thing I can do here is offer good advice, which I did in my previous post.

If you're fixed in your ways, here's my advice:

Get two more Looted Wagons, fill them up with Lootas, and put a KFF in one of them. That should suit your style.

Frosty Hardtop:
Heh yeah i acually killed a dread with 2 Lootas some days ago xD. Sounds awsome! ill go with 12.. cus you said so ;D sounded good.

Gurgle:
Yeah.. it is alot, but you know we wanted this feeling, that the fight wasnt right off, more like clashed togetherat the 3d round. Here's one of our battles, first one publicated! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/293718.page

Claypool:
I've only played 3 games with the tank but i have found the boomgun is good due the AP3 and largeblast. id say i've hit about 1/2 times and killed atleast 4 chaos marines each hit.
But thats just maybe because ive played on 75" and not as it should be.
And about survival.. uhmm yeah its fragile. defenently. But it has only been blown up once so far.
Yeah i guess yuo got a big point, ill be having it for posing ;D (look what i did to ya tank Imperial Guard.. Moahha!)
SO no more looted wagons!

'eavy Armor, Cybork, waaargh banner and doc tools on a nob squad with a warboss is the awsomest stuff ever! Gotta get a battle wagon for em ;D

Orkfantic:
Hm yeah... mjaah, dont like the khans that mutch acualy. But yeah gonna check that out. no more looted wagons anyway.

Dashofpepper:
BAah yeah im feeling ya hehe! awsome but njaah to mutch.
Thanks for all the advice!

Everyone: Thanks for all the advice!

Kans are very good, imo. Kan Walls especially so.

Definately go for that Big Mek with KFF, as it will help your force survive longer.

Here's the start: Some converted lootas. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/293648.page
next up as in order: Mek, Deffkoptas, Battlewagon

i personally don't like looted wagon with boomgun, but at my club there is a guy that uses 2. he hides them untill the bikes and boys take out any heavy weapon LC, ML, Rail Gun. Then with the boomguns 36" range well away from any melta guns just starts blows Space Marines away. i want to try it with my army but i love my 6 killa kans with a KFF too much

I really want to love my Boomgun Wagon, but they always just don't do it for me. (except in ONE apoc game where it decimated a squad of grey knights - but that was just a tease!) Problem is our 'best gun' is on a poorly armored junker that is out of control 1/6 of the time, and it scatters all over the place! I am going to use them again, but I won't unless I get 2 or 3. They are just too random to depend on as a single 'fun' unit. I ove the fluff of them, and I enjoy building them (I've got a few!) But - better off with Kans, or 3 BigGuns, even a threatening Dread.

hehe, yeah i love the hole concept about the looted wagon and the random stuff.. its very mutch not the tactic thing. When i fist thought of my army, i wanted the looted wagons to be as a "wall" i thought maybe 2looted wagons would do it. but as i played with it first time (first vichle) i understood that they sucked in armor and dont press dat', so tried to make the boys go first, followed by looted and nobz+warboss. Won every game sins.

Ultimate as it seem, would be killa khan walls, KFF and loads of boys.

hmm.. im gonna think a bit and repost a army list.
