First time toying with army lists with the Orkz after reading through the codex, i havent purchased any models yet. Definatly need help developing a decent list (Eldar Player here)

Boss

Ghazghkull Thraka w/an ammo runt 228pts
Big Mek w/shokk atk gun, eavy arm, cybork 110pts

Troopz

9 Nobz all with 'eavy arm, 5 big chop, 5 stikkz and 1 Painboy with grot orderly and cybork 315 pts

19 boyz slugga an choppa, 1 nob w/big chop 135 pts
19 boyz slugga an choppa, 1 nob w/big chop 135 pts

Deff Dread with 2 extra CC weaps, armour plates, and grot riggers. 120pts

Elitez
10 Lootas 430pts

'eavy support

Looted Wagon w/2 big shootas 45 pts
battle wagon w/ard case, big shoota, and stikkbomb throwa 115pts
battle wagon w/ard case, big shoota, and stikkbomb throwa 115pts



Those not fimiliar with orkz, the current choice of HQ allows one mob of nobs and a deff dread (normally elite and HVY SUP) to be used as a troop choice

basically, i have the big mek set up with the lootas and they main primarily stationary and (attempt to) blow up anything big and nasty
the two mobz of boyz each get a battle wagon, and Ghazghkull joins the Nobz in the looted wagon to get up close and chop as many squishies as possible.

Ok, why are you 'ard casing the battle wagons? Remember, leaving them open topped allows you to assault out of the vehicle and allows EVERY boy inside to shoot (not super vital for the slugga boys but a bonus)?

If your super keen on 'ard casing them, cut the chukkas, they are useless if you cant assult out of the wagon.

You have a similar idea to what I do with my list with your vehicles though, however I recommend a trukk instead.

Also, this is important:

A power klaw in every squad that can take one.

NOTE: In the event that you actually want to stay friendly with the people you're playing against disregard this, because the times I've used this advice have ended in tears.


Ditch the looted wagon, use those points to get deffrollas on those Battlewagons.

toss out the 'eavy armor on the nobz, and the Big Choppas/stikkbombz, use the points(and what comes later here) to buy a trukk and as many Pklaws as you can afford.

Unless you really really like him(like I do) ghaz is kinda spendy for under 2k points, you can do roughly the same(minus about 2 attacks on the charge) for way fewer points with a regular warboss. This one's personal preference all the way tho.

Also I'd lose the 'eavy armor on the mek, since he'll be hiding in cover popping vehicles anyway, and has a 5+ inv as well.

Not sure one way or the other on the dred(I like them in principle but haven't used them). I'd personally drop it and lower one of the boyz squads to 10(plus nob) and make them shooty, then use those points to buy some burna boyz and a trukk(technically belonging to the shoota boyz but the burnas'd take it first turn).

the other unit of boyz needs a pklaw on their nob, and if you need to drop a few lootas to get more burnas.

again, that list has ROLLED people (nids and marines) that i've come across. I seriously felt bad by the end of the games because they were so one-sided, so if you're going for a more fun/quirky list then you're on the right track, if you're going for more competitive then yeah...

edit: oh yeah and open-topped is your friend, assaulting after moving the vehicle FTW!
