I would make the bomb a rocket and change the gretchin out for Boyz. The gretchin really have no use except for camping objectives and you only need a squad of between 10 and 19. At these points i would take 10. In honesty i wouldnt take gretchin at all. For 600 you could take:
1 Warboss 60pts
25 boyz with shootas, A nob with a power Klaw and boss pole 190pts
25 Boyz with slugga choppas, A nob with power Klaw and boss pole 190pts
1 Deff kopta with a Buzz saw and Twin linked rokkits 70pts
1 Deff kopta with a Buzz saw and Twin linked rokkits 70pts

I think this is 580pts. You can now add things on your warboss or extra boyz or whatever better fits your playstyle.

You can put the Koptas in separate squads so you NEVER have to take leadership, Plus one unit cant get lucky and wipe out both koptas in a shooting phase.

I am having a practice tournamount tommorow and I only have 20 boyz untill 4 days so then I will have 80 boyz!

^^^^Agreed!^^^^ Grots are quirky and would have a fun place in a fluff fueled list, but for a competitive game I'd definitely be running boyz even though I think all those grots would be hilarious! Also that's a good note on splitting up the koptas but I think Anton said he can only have one fast attack, thus nixing that idea.

I prefer to swarm the enemy. plus it might be sieze ground or anhilation and we arent allowed to change so I like mass over power!!!

Crap, I forgot about the one fast slot, Then do one Twin Rokkit and one big shoota. This gives wound allocation and puts it at 570pts. Take the thirty points and give the boss a power klaw and Eavy armor (i think eavy armor is 5 pts?) and that should put you at 600 exactly. And the gretchin sound hilarious. I love them in the story and my 2k list always has 10 of them and my 2500 has 14-19. They are great for keeping in reserve and bringing them in to camp objectives or denying a kill point in KP games.

I prefer to play 2500 points too but we all have to make sacrafices

I got 90 gretchin for £2 off Ebay! I like using them

Oh gosh.... Soooooo many grots! Well that's why I have an airbrush for hordes! I need to fire it up for my 'gants! Well whatever you pick for your list it is sure to be entertaining!

yeah I warned the people then they sort of shut up about my rubbish ork army!

Well, those Gretchin are sure to die.


And thats good, it is their role.

I use them as a meatsheild for my warboss and boyz

So when the final round hits do you just add 400pts to your list?

no we write our lists then we get a un-organised 1000 pt battle
1 hq 3 heavy support for example. we have to write lists before.

Give da boss a bosspole for leading da boys.

Already does
