1 Ghazghkull Thraka 225 pts.

1 Ork Warboss 110 pts. (Power Klaw, Twin-Linked Shoota, Cybork Body, 'eavy Armour, Boss Pole)

1 Battle Wagon 180 pts. (Zzap Gun, Big Shoota x4, Red Paint Job, Armour Plates, Boarding Plank x2, Wreckin' Ball, Deff Rolla)

5 Burna Boyz 75 pts.

5 Mega Nobz 220 pts. ( Twin-Linked Shoota, Kombi Shoota-Skorcha, Kombi Shoota-Rokkit Launcha x3)

10 Stormboyz 120pts.

12 Nobz 435 pts. (2: Boss Pole, Power Klaw / 1: Waaagh! Banner, Power Klaw / 10: Stikkbombz, Big Choppa)

Can't have two Boarding planks on a Battlewagon.
Also 10 stormboyz aren't going to do much.

Also littlenibbler Orks aren't about armour saves.
Orks are about having too many models on the table, and wasting the other guy's time with your movement phase.
Orks are about having the toughest units on the table.
Orks are about not caring about how many bodies are left in a long winding trail until the squad is down to less than a third its starting strength.
Orks are about rolling more dice then you can count without the aid of a calculator or a pen and paper.
Orks are about having totally fething insane characters tearing gak down like Doc Grotsnik, Ghazghkull or Snikrot.
Orks are about being too fething awesome to die...

Hello! Saviour not meaning to be rude but your post makes no sense!!!
Is it a list for some perculiar 1655 point tournament? or just a list of all the models you have? What do you mean by mistakes?
40 boyz is a mistake in a list max squad is 30... 38 stikkbombs on 40 orks is also wrong. it's all or nothing

Hmmm the mistakes I see is pretty much the entire list I'm afriad

Attack squig on the warboss wouldn't hurt.

Battlewagon cannot move ahead with all those guns, so mvoes at 6" and orks are not getting into combat. Plus cannot fire any of the big shootas if you fire the main gun as they're not defensive weapons. Also no need for two boarding planks; they do the same job! Throw in you've only got one wagon it's just gonna get shot to pieces.

Buran Boyz on foot - bad idea. Get a Battlewagon for them.

Meganobz should have kombi skorchas and nothing else.

Stormboy will get blown to pieces, Nobz need a transport and 40 boyz aren't a unit.

I think you're listing all the stuff you've got, but it appears you've made a list from it. Post a list only, no one is really interested in what you've got TBH.

My comment is more for mercer. I can understand the idea of "nobody being interested in what you have" but if the guy is trying to get feedback on making an ork list then listing everything that he has would be a pretty smart starting point IMHO . Burning the guy to the ground isn't very productive either. Granted, reading what he listed into an actual list does appear silly especially the noted odd points value. I don't know his gaming situation, but if he is merely playing with friends or a small club he can come up with a modest list from what he has, though at a smaller points value.
I am not professing that I am a big 40k genius or anything of that nature, as I am probably a simp in your eyes since I don't play tourneys or anything like that...I play with my friends. I don't care what some random ass-hat thinks about my army build. I play for fun...not blood.

It actually is just a list of what I have all together.

I even stated on the other post that I'm beginning to play this game. I just don't have like everything I need, so hence why it's not complete.

Aside from that I know how this game works, I know my list is small, and well I'm asking for what's a mistake in the army or pieces so I can correct them and recalculate points.

But it's a list of what I own. Nothing more... I'll make an army later.

For starters, you (The_Savior) will need to provide info on what type of ork army you want to play.
Now you have little of everything, orks need to focus on one task and one task only. If you try to mix you will fail.

Types of armies that will have a chance:

Kan wall (30x3 ork boys, 3x3 kans, 2 KFF Meks)

Battle wagons: (3 battle wagons with DR, 3x20 Boys,KFF Mek and warboss)

Dread bash (3x3 Kan, 2xDreads as troop choise, 2xKFF mek, 3x30 boys)

Cult of speed: (Nob bikers and boys in trukks, KFF Mek and warboss on bike)

Each list can be spiced with Lootas, Deff koptas with TL rokkits, War buggies with TL rokkits and perhaps snikrot and kommandos, but the core should remain.

Hope that this can help you choose what type you would like to play.

Well I wanted to make an Army that keeps my MegaNobz, Nobz, and Ghazghkull.

So my idea was to get them from one side to another with vehicles.
Have them jump out and start bashing down everything.

I really don't know what does good and what doesn't, I have really seen to much around here.

But I'd appreciate more list ideas, or if someone could help me make a list from what I got and tell me what to add on from there.

Also around here we play 500pts.-1500pts. battles, unless stated other wise, tournaments/campaigns.

So I'd appreciate help from anyone.

You want to keep the 3 most expensive (pointwise) units in your collection... That will be a problem, since taking both nobs and meganobs will prevenmt you from taking any good support units...

A 1750 kist with your meganobs could look this:

HQ:
Ghazghkull Thraka
KFF Mek

Troops:
5 Meganobs (3 kombi rokkit, 1 kombi scorcha)
20 Boys (1 nob w. PK and BP in BW)
20 Boys (1 nob w. PK and BP in BW)
20 Boys (1 nob w. PK and BP in BW)

Dedicated transport from mega noobs
Battlewagon (deathrolla, red paint job, grot rigger, grabba klaw, boarding plank, wrecking ball, 2 big shoota)

Heavy support:
Battlewagon (deathrolla, red paint job, grot rigger, grabba klaw, boarding plank, wrecking ball, 2 big shoota)

Battlewagon (deathrolla, red paint job, grot rigger, grabba klaw, boarding plank, wrecking ball, 2 big shoota)

Battlewagon (deathrolla, red paint job, grot rigger, grabba klaw, boarding plank, wrecking ball, 2 big shoota)

As you can see you only have 35 points left for support units... maybe one rokkit buggy.

Replacing the meganobs with other choices and Ghazghkull Thraka with a warboss would free up some points for you.

Then the list could look like this:

HQ:
Warboss (PK, squig,)
KFF Mek

Troops:
19 Boys (1 nob w. PK and BP in BW)
19 Boys (1 nob w. PK and BP in BW)
19 Boys (1 nob w. PK and BP in BW)
11 Boys (1 nob w. PK and BP, in trukk reinforced ram, boarding plank)
12 Gretching with herder

Fast:
3 warbuggies TL rokkits
1 Deffkopta TL rokkit and buzzsaw
1 Deffkopta TL rokkit and buzzsaw

Elite:
5 Lootas
5 Lootas
5 Lootas


Heavy support:
Battlewagon (deathrolla, red paint job, grot rigger, grabba klaw, boarding plank, wrecking ball, 2 big shoota)

Battlewagon (deathrolla, red paint job, grot rigger, grabba klaw, boarding plank, wrecking ball, 2 big shoota)

Battlewagon (deathrolla, red paint job, grot rigger, grabba klaw, boarding plank, wrecking ball, 2 big shoota)

Okay, Burnas are best in battlewagons. You actually have the makings of a good battlewagon spam army here - If you're looking for guidence on where to go from here, and to make the most out of what you have, I would suggest buying a few battlewagons.

That said, something inside me says your boys and nobs are AOBR. Right? That means your nob squad won't be built right anyway, you need to diversify the nobs. That is, each nob needs to be kitted out uniquely to take advantage of the wound allocation rule.

Yes, 10 stormboys aren't great, but 15 is an improvement and 20 is best.

If I were in your shoes I would look at other lists and try and decide on a direction to take. Then either buy the models you need and/or trade models you have and don't need for models you do need. Ex: If you need more stormboys go to the swap shop and ask to trade, say, burnas and the warboss for them.

Pick up a KFF mek eithe way. The model is used in pretty much every list I can think of.

You have the workings of a good foundation here. I would deffinitly rock the mega nobs, ghaz in the battlewagon and build your army around there (mostly beucase you seem shiney on the mega nobs)

Consider this:

KFF Mek, 14 more Burnas, battlewagon

3 Trukks (for 11 boys + 1 nob to ride in each)


Current Armies:

Warmachine:
Shae Pirate's Life 50
Durgen attrition 50

WH40K:
Orks (5,000 pt Apoc Kan Wall, 1850 Bikerz)
Grey Knights (1850 Crowe Purifiers, 2500 'Ard Boyz Draigo)
Sisters of Battle (Seraphim spam)

WHFB:
2400 Empire
3000 Tomb Kings

It would be better to list the units he wants in a list; not the ones he has. Then from the selection a list can be made using the units he wishes to use .

Burning the guy to the ground? I think you're going OTT. You'll see the "productive" part in my post is saying which units he'd do well or without.

Correct a few are from AOBR and some aren't.

I see the KFF Mek used yes.

The only thing I bought was everything that's not in the AOBR box for a bundle of like 80 bucks.

I did plan on getting a Mek and more Wagons.
