Brother Quote
"So the main point of the army was that the shokk attack gunz and the zzap guns could generally take care of heavy armor with a bit of luck, and the lootas can easily tear down transports and heavy infantry. In that case, there is no need for any power claws, tank bustas, or any other forms of run-up-and-beat-you-up sort of tactics. As for anything else, there is enough dakka fire from all the shootas and the gunz/gitz that any opposing infantry and possibly other things such as bikes or jumpers are going to have trouble advancing. The rest is basicallyleft to both luck and a big pair, which when playing orcs is the basics. "

Flash Gitz are just plain bad, use those points to get at least ten more lootas. You should be running 45 optimally.

Only run three Koptas, one in each unit. Consider Buzzsaws for first turn tank pops.

I say you need Nobz, PK's and Bosspole in your Boy mobs.

I'd run more battlewagons instead of Trukks, you're moving slow so you can fire and you'll need the extra armor.

If you're gonna do heavy shooty base, then just go ALL heavy shooty, skip the trukks, and sit on your back table edge with bigger squads of shoota boyz and more lootas.
You can keep the battlewagon and stick lootas squads in it, even getting another BW or two if possible.

Zzap guns are quite unreliable, average role is 7. They're not bad for light armor but it's a very slim chance of damaging a heavy vehicle.

Contrary to the extremely popular belief that flash gitz suck horribly, they can actually work quite well but *ONLY* if you go all or nothing with precise tactics.
For this list, you would be much better off spending the points elsewhere.

Thanks for the comments guys, I'll be sure to pass them on.

Hmmmm shooty ork army...

Your big meks are ok but you want bosspoles on them so they can go with the lootas and the lootas don't run off; you want 3 x 15 lootas btw.

Boyz should have shootas to be shooting and in battlewagons so they have a better gun platform to shoot out of, or else in the trukk you're not going 18" which is what you're paying for.

Deffkopters are fine just take 3 in seperate fast attack slots.

Drop the flash gitz because they're not that good. Take kannons if you want instead.
