Local gaming store here is having an outlet sale, over 400 Ork boyz (AoBR boyz) for a buck each. I was planning to get 160 (I already have 20 due to AoBR) to max out the troop choices with nothing but barebonez boyz. I also love the new little Kans (well, new to me, since when I first left the game they were still dem metal onez) and they'd make perfect additions to a pisspoor but absolutely massive horde. Also, due to point limitations I probably wont be using all 180 boyz, but I'll have em anyways for completeness (and to make whoever visits my home gak a brick at seeing so many orks).

I'm a total noob when it comes to Orks, so I probably did something really stupid with the list. I would like to stick with the theme, but if there are glaring problems I can switch the list around. As it stands, I would like to include as many boyz as I can, then as many Kans as I can while still remaining effective. My main opponents are Mech Marines that like to camp a corner (he uses a ML launcher on all of his troops), Fire Prism Eldar, Vanilla Necrons, and vanilla Imp Guards and we play Annhilation almost exclusively.

Your Kans really should be equipped with Rokkits to make use of the rare BS3. Never take Skorchas as that is wasting this precious resource. Grotzookas are an acceptable alternative.

Grot Riggers are a completely useless upgrade due to the rules for vehicle squadrons.

You want to equip each Kan in a squad with the same weapon so you don't waste shots against targets you can't hurt.

Every boy mob should have a Nob with Pk and bosspole. That's pretty much a requirement.

Instead of a Warboss, I would recommend a KFF Mek for your HQ choice. That 4+ cover save is invaluable to a Green Tide or Kan Wall list.

Dropping the Riggers would allow me to equip all Kans with Grotzookas and have 10 points left over. A KFF Mek with 'eavy armor would also allow me to free up 35 points from taking him instead of the warboss. If I take away 2 of the Rokkit Launchas and downgrade one into a Big Shoota, I can get 2 additional PK Nobz to equip the rest of the squads. Bosspole might not be that worth it since I have a crapload of boyz and the Mob Rule will effectively let me be fearless for a really long time.

I like the list. But as said before every boy unit needs a nob with PK.

Having a big mek or 2 with kff is pretty good to.

Bosspole is a personal choice with a mob of 30. The PK nob really is essential.

Also, I'd consider running 3x2 instead of 2x3 Kans so you can threaten more targets. I'd make one of the three mobz carry Rokkits with the extra 10pts.

well giving all of the squads a Nob essentially caps me at the max points =x. I dont have much more to spend unless I take away more Big Shootas. I'll divide up the Kans tho.

claypoo is right (as always)

I agree as well with the nob PK. It is a must have to stand a chance against tough or AV units. Just as a personal opinion a Mek w KFF would really help those kans move up the board. A bit of points but I have found they almost always make up for it. Great list though, that many orks will overwhelm most armies. A suicide deffkopta w buzzsaw could take care of a tank if you feel you will face them. Just a thought.

Lol The squads all do have PK Nobs now. I just never got around to updating the list shown here due to homework (Procrastinated too much)

For the 1500 list, I can always take away the one squad of 25 and instead put in three more Kans and still have another 55 points leftover. Dont know if that's the best way to go though.

I may consider having all your kans have rokkits. The BS is helpful with such a good weapon. Also, a BP on your nobs will help as well. Just an idea to consider. Pretty similar to the list I run and it's solid.

Four squads of boyz is sufficient at 1500 points. I would go with the extra Kans and spend the extra points on a Grot squad.

Kinda wanna keep the theme of using both Green Tide and Kan Wall, so I might not go for the Grotz. Plus, I always loved the burna >:3
Also, for WYSIWYG purposes, can I use the Grotzooka as a Rokkit launcha? If not then I can always jury rig one out of some leftover Imp Guard Missile rounds.
