Hi,

I've just started collecting Orks and would like some help with a competative 1000 point army.

Below is my first attempt at creating a list of Green Tide-ish style.

My thoughts were that the Trukks would speed forward in a fairly tight pack with the big Mek covering them with KFF. The Gretchins would serve to either take up space around this 4 vehicle block for annoying deep strikes. The Four Powerclaw'd Nobs using Boarding Plank would take care of any nearby tanks.

Elite 1: 15 Burnas -225 points
Heavy 1: Battlewagon + Deffrolla + Boarding Plank + Big shoota + Grabbin' Klaw + Armor Plates + Grot Riggers - 140 points
Troop3: 12 Boyz ( 1 of them Nob, Powerklaw) +Trukk with Reinforced Ram and Boarding Plank – 152 points

Looks like fun. I think you may need a 2nd HQ choice

Your nobs should have bosspoles. I've never been a big fan of Big Meks with PK. They shouldn't really be in CC. The grabbin Klaw could go too on the BW. Ideally Nobs on the trukk with boarding planks can take out tanks. But the chances of all of them making it that far is slim. Some lootas may be what you need or a buzzcopta or two.

I would go with a burna on your big mek. If he is in a transport you can just put the template anywhere touching the hull of the vehicle.

Also red paint is awesome.

Hey, thanks for the help guys. How about this? Need help shaving that last 23 points also *scratches head*.

Loota squads are min. 5 a piece, I'd just combine them into one squad. Otherwise lose one and they might just run off the board. In mine I run two big shootas, just in case we need to move and shoot. Plus still several shots when you roll bad for the lootas.

Armor Plates and Grot Riggers aren't strictly necessary. I also would drop the Burna from your Mek. Once he's in combat, he's done his job.

That should save you 35 points. Since you have Lootas, you might not need those boarding planks. 60 points saved now.

Use those points to make your Loota Squads legal and give Bosspoles to all your Nobz.

Hey claypool why didn't you just copy and paste my advice?
