HQ: 190
2x Big Mek - Shokk Attack Gun

Elite: 645
2x: 15x Lootas

1x: 9x Kommandos, 2x Rokkit Launcha, Snickrot

Troops: 510

3x: 19x Boyz, 17x Shootas, 2x Big Shootas, 1x Nob, Bosspole, Power Klaw

This leaves me with 155 left over and I'm not quite sure where to put it, so suggestions are very welcome.

The thought is a rather standard gunline, sit and shoot and all that. Lootas will have no problem getting transports/dreads/light tanks and would also tear up standard squads. The boyz will just decimate anything in 18 inches and have a klaw in there because it's stupid not to. Snickrot & friends can come in off a board edge to hit a vehicle that's sitting back behind cover.

My main downfall, as it stands, is the heavy tank. I'm not sure where to go to pop those, suicide squads of deffkoptas, big gunz, kans. Just not sure. Suggestions? Comments?

get a battlewagon with a big mek force field in it. I find it is very strong against vehicles. Also hard to hit. +4 cover save and if you move the full amount your opponent hits on a 6. Can not tell you how many times I have rolled on a tank with d6 hits and destroy it. As well as the explosion does not hit anything of yours. It is a great tactic. I put ard case on mine but that just makes it harder to stop. Also put extra armour on it so it doesnt stop moving. besides that it looks good. I have found when I use snikrot. Coming in from the board edge that after the round he comes in he gets annihilated. that is 2 killpoints in a round even if you kill a squad you are losing in kill points as well as a tank. Just my opinion.

Nice list
my buddy just played a 1500 ork shooting list and he brought

Mek with Shokk Attack Gun

15 Lootas

3x 12 Boyz squad
trukk
nob with PK and boss pole

2x 20 shootas
battlewagon with deff rolla
nob with PK

2x 3 deffkoptas


he tried the kommandos but they just dont work well they are a one hit wonder then they die.
lose them and take another lootas squad

Definately need more Dakka!!!

I'd recommend Big Guns with Zzap Guns or a Boomgun on a Looted Wagon!

Although, Flash Gitz with More Dakka and Shootier would be awfully nice...

Your Kommandos should really have Burnas and I'd invest in two Buzzkoptas with those extra points.

I also say drop the Kommandos, they are not as good as you would think. Stay with your theme and use lootas, or koptas, or more boyz.
Also consider a Big Mek, you need some kind of reliable save, or otherwise you will get torn up by shooting.

This list is definitely not meant to be competitive, so I'd keep both SAG Meks and try to deploy everything in cover and just sit there all game. I would agree to trading Kommandos for more Lootas.
