Ork 1k - Fun with fire

Hey guys,

Just toying around with some ideas for some fun army lists at around the 1k point level for the Orks. I've been playing regular games against a semi mech Eldar player. We've both been mixing our lists up a fair bit each time, as we are both getting back into the game after a while off and just playing to learn and have some fun.

With that in mind, here's my kunning plan for my next list. Would love to hear some thoughts:

HQ: Big Mek. KFF, EA, BP [95]
T1: 11 Slugga Boyz + Nob. PK, EA, BP. Trukk - RPJ, Ram, Riggers [167]
T2: As above
T3: 11 Shoota Boyz w/ BS. Trukk - RPJ, Ram, Riggers [121]
E1: 10 Lootas [150]
E2: 11 Burnaz - Joined by Big Mek [165]
E3: 8 Kommandos + Nob. PK, EA, BP [135]

Total Points = 1000

The burnaz go in the trukk bought by the shoota boyz. All 3 trukks go together with Kff + Burnaz in the middle to provide coversave. These charge up board attempting to burn things and lads jump out and assault on the waagh

Footslogging Shootaboyz are there to try and hold an obj somewhere.

Kommandos to threaten stuff down the sides.

Lootas Plink away at stuff from the backfield.


Obviously not the most competitive list, but shouldn't be too woeful hopefully. Should also be fun to burninate things!

Comments?

First off you have shoota boyz in a trukk so swicth them out for slugga boys cuz you want to get in assult as fast as possible and you say you have foot slogging shoota but i dont see them in your list

They are buying the trukk for the burnaz, but not deploying in it. It's explained above.

it seems to me that it would be a fun list to play as like you have said you and your friend are just getting back into the game, although to save points....

dropping the ea on the mek ( in this case the bp can stay since the burnas don't have one. the squad is his armour)

drop the ea on the nob ( the squad is his armour)

on the trukks the rpj and riggers ( not very usefull in my book)

and again on the kommando nob drop the ea (... again the squad is his armour)


ok with those points...

get some weapons for the kommandos (I like burnas or rokkits)

and maybe a rokkit buggie or a kopta with again rokkits would help out.

just a thought I hope that helps

Thanks mate. Good point on the Eavy Armour, definitely a bit unneccessary. If I ditch all the EA, I can boost the Kommandos squad up to 10 instead of 8 which seems like a decent trade off.

I'm quite keen to keep the upgrades on the trukks though. Having said that, if I take all the riggers+rpj off that will give me the 30 points to give my 10 kommandos 2x burnaz, which would be pretty effecting and keep in with the generally burny theme of the rest of the list. I'll play a couple of games with the upgrades on the trukks, and see if they actually change anything, if not I'll grab a couple of burnaz for the kommandos (who have really paid for themselves in the games Ive run them in so far).

Thanks for your input.

ya kommandos are fun to use. To be honest I would love to see a bw squeezed in there but Idk what you are dead set on keeping or not.

I've had a try at doing it, but at only 1k points it seems quite hard to get one in without gimping everything else massively. If it was 1500 I'd definitely have the burnaz+mek in one.

At 1k, I guess I could go:

Big Mek+KFF+BP
12 Burnaz
Battlewagon, 2x BS, Defrolla

2x Trukk squads, Nobs w/PK+BP, Rams

10 Lootas

10 Kommandos w/ 2 Burnaz + Nob w/PK

That could be pretty amusing...

Also your burnas cant go in the trukk since it is a dedicated transport so only the the unit that is purchased with may take it

Nope. Only the unit that buys it can deploy in it, but they don't have to. You just start the burnaz outside of it, jump them in on turn 1 and mosey off in the trukk.
