20 Gretchen with 2 runtherds
15 Lootas
30 Slugga Boyz (With PK Nob)
5 Kommandos (Including Snikrot)
Warphead
Looted Wagon (Leman Russ)
Big Mek with SAG
Ghazghkull Thraka
3 Mega Nobz

Im getting another 30 Shoota Boyz soon, as well as a Trukk or 2, and thinking about expanding my Kommandos squad a bit. any other suggestions would be AWESOME! ty in advance guys

Ok let me see is this a list or just what you have? If its a list your orks need some boss poles. All of them do! And drop the looted wagon there garbage! Also with the warphead! And I also wanna know what will you be doing with those mega nobs, they wil never get into combat being Slow and Purposeful

yeah its just what ive got, ive got boss poles, why does the warphead suck? i ustgt him recently haventbee able to table him yet. and im uing the mega nobs for Ghazghkull Entorage. im in Iraq ATM and we play on a decent sized table, i dont think ill have the problem of lac of combat with them. and i agree about the wagon, more often than not it gets taken out before it kills anything

Boyz before Toyz, drop the lootas down to 2 squads of 5, 5 commando's and snikrot isnt the best way to run them, either beef them up or drop them. And i just realised you already did this and i wish i reasd the entire thing >.<


Anyway, maybe change SAG to KFF? its overused, but is relatively kick ass

Agreed with the Commandos make them a squad of 15 put in ghaz and go kill them from behind. Now the thing with the warphead is he is an opinion unit,I have found while some may love him others hate him

With the lack of vehicles, I would say drop the looted wagon, meganobz, and then up the boyz.

Also there is no real reason to take 20 gretchin and 2 Runtherds. Drop one gretchin and then you'll only need to field one runtherd. It's a small detail, but you might be able to use those few points on something else.

This army fields three HQ units.

Edit - Ah, this is everything you have. Lessee.

HQ - Ghazghkull Thraka
HQ - Warphead
HQ - Big Mek, SAG

Elite - 15 Lootas
Elite - 5 Kommandos, Snikrot
Elite - 3 Mega Nobz

Troops - 30 Slugga Boyz, PK Nob
Troops - 20 Gretchen, 2 Runtherds

Heavy Support - Looted Wagon

Without making any conversions, your worst HQ unit is your Big Mek with the SAG. I've never found him to work very well, and I think that you might be better off with the Warphead.

I'd field the Mega Nobz as a Troops Unit, maybe sticking them in the Wagon if you're not taking a Boomgun.

Field Ghazzy with Snikrot and Ambush! him onto the table. Note that you'll roll 3d6 and pick the highest to move that way.

The Warphead should stand with the 30 Sluggas, to benefit from Mob Rule to use a 10 leadership for Psychic tests.

Split up your Grots into two units of 10 w/one Runtherd for increased mobility and holding objectives (Go to ground early and often!).

Split your lootas into a unit of 10 and a unit of 5 to split fire among targets.

If you can make some conversions, I'd suggest turning those Sluggas into Shootas, maybe turning the SAG into a KFF. If you have access to more stuff, I'd suggest maybe finding some Burna Boyz for the Kommandos. Anyway, your list looks more like this:

HQ - Ghazzy - 225
HQ - Warphead - 90

Elite - Lootas x10 - 150
Elite - Lootas x5 - 75
Elite - Kommandos x4 + Snikrot - 120

Troops - MANz x3 - 120
Troops - 30 Slugga Boyz, Nob w/PK + BP - 220
Troops - 10 Grots, Runtherd - 40
Troops - 10 Grots, Runtherd - 40

Heavy Support - Looted Wagon - However much that is, I don't remember

960 before the Wagon points..
