So i have made several posts over the last week or so about building my ork army. Originally i was going to try a speed freaks army, but after much research and reading the codex front to back, i think wagon rush may be were I'm heading, but with a twist:

2000 point Wagon Rush army

85 points: Big Mek with KFF

105 points: Warboss with PK, Eavy Armour, and Cybork Body

395 points: Nob Bikers (6, all with Cybork Bodies)
1 Painboy
1 Nob with Waaagh! Banner and PK
1 Nob with Bosspole and BC
1 Nob with BC and Shoota/Skorcha
1 Nob with BC
1 Nob with standard equipment

410 points: Nobs (6, all with Eavy Armour and Cybork Bodies) (Unit counts as Troop choice)
1 Painboy
1 Nob with Waaagh! Banner and PK
1 Nob with Bosspole and BC
1 Nob with BC and Shoota/Skorcha
1 Nob with BC
1 Nob with standard equpment
Battlewagon with 3 Big Shootas, Deff Rolla, Grot Riggers, and Red Paint Job

160 points: Boyz with sluggas and choppas (20)
1 Nob with PK and Bosspole

154 points: Boyz with sluggas and choppas (19)

Im guessing that 4 Wagons will do. I added the Warboss for a 6th PK (my goal is 1 PK per 250 points, and to be used as a back-up-plan-tank-opener). Now i added the Nob Bikers (mainly because i just really wanna use Nob Bikers ) because i feel that they are a good way to add stress to your opponents battle plan, as they are very mobile and can show up were you need them most. the Deffkoptas are there to kill some vehicles, I'm still not sold on the investment of saws on them, i think its a waste for a throw away unit. My biggest concern with this army is that terrain can kill this set up. however if 3 of the 4 wagons make it to the opponents, it'll be awesome. Not sure how this one will work, so any info would be helpful

As always, thank you much for your knowledge Dakkamunity, i look forward to your posts

Nobz need more PKs, one in a Nob squad is not enough.

If you want to use Nob Biker try to max out there damage output.

Drop one deffkopta and add buzzsaws to other 2...
I personaly like to give my bw deff rolla, extra armour, grabin klaw, boarding plak, big shoota and grot rigger.... It will help kicking vehicles even better than just ramming... And there is no need for big shootas (yes, I know, extra weapon destroyed, but imo you'll get blasted more often than weapon destroyed )....

I agree, you need at least one more pk in both noob squads... Oh, and i'd think of nob bikers as troop choice... But that's just me

Big Mek needs cybork body at least or will die, rapidly.

Battlewagons do not need 3 big shootas because if you move you fire one, you're moving 12" to use the deffrolla so you won't be using any. Just take one per tank and you'll be fine.

Its not bad to have armour and cybork on the war boss but you only really need the cybork

drop the kopters and add more bikers

I agree with the others, drop hte extra big shootas on the wagons.

Drop to one deffkopta with rokkits and buzzsaw. Its a great throw-away unit that can do some damage.

Where's the grots? I always take at least 1 40pt unit of grots to hold an objective. All your other units are dedicated to moving forward and crushing - you have nothing to sit and hide on an objective.

maby give your Warboss a bike

no i would put himm with the nobz in the wagon

what do you guys think about lootas, tankbustas, and burna boyz?

Yes, No, Yes.
