The idea behind this list is to use an MSU approach to making a competative Ork army list. Orks are strongest in numbers, and I will be trying to use this philosophy on light vehicles rather than on boyz.

What do you guys think?

I'm assuming you're going to run the Boyz behind the Kans to protect the Mek's, but that's probably not going to work since all they have to do is kill a few Boyz, force a panic test (25% casualties) and then you're legging it.

Also, so few troops that can score (and they're fragile to boot) just doesn't strike me as a good idea.

If you just run the Mek's behind the walls of Kanz/Dreadz then they're easy pickings for being shot and killed. You can try to use the Wall to hide them, but any deepstriker/drop pod/outflanker can get LOS and bang bang goes your KFF.

Yeah, I'd ditch the loota's, and the grots and then bring both of the boyz squads up to 30 boyz. Alternately you could drop the lootas, the boyz and the grots and have 2 trukks with 3 meganobz in each and then put the big meks with the MANz in the trukks. If you're going to keep large boy squads then I would also try and get the KMB on the kanz.

I hate to say this, but 10x shoota boyz aren't going to hit squat. It's a decent plan I'll give you that, It's hard to stop so many walkers under a KFF, but you still need more boyz in order to make an impact, otherwise your going to have to shoot both squads into the same target to produce any kind of results. Edit: not to mention if someone kills 3 orks (not hard) you have to pass leadership on an 8, if you fail there goes your KFF.

I've updated the list, dropped two squads of lootas to give the boyz nobs and a trukk. Let me know what you think.
