So, I wanted to dig up my orks as I grew tired of playing guard on, and on, and on. I have more than 2000 pts of deathskulls painted, but I am starting Bad Moons now. Not much difference except the color scheme, but it gives me an excuse to collecting a new army.

Don't be shy to give some criticism. I am willing to swap a thing or two, as I only have 1 unit of twenty boys with nob. I still have to buy the rest.

Here goes the list.

HQ
Warboss 80pts (Runs with the nobz)
Big choppa
Cybork Boddy
Eavy armor

Elites
5 nobz 165pts
3 big choppas
2 powerklawz

Troops
20 ork boys 130 pts
Nob

20 ork boyz 130 pts
nob

20 ork boyz 130pts
nob

Heavy Support
3 Killa Kanz 165pts
3 skorcha
3 grot riggers
3 armour plates

What do you think? Does this have any hit chance?

You dont need armor plates or grot riggers on the kans. They are sqaudron, so follow the sqadron rules. They turn stunned into shacken (no need for plates) and if they are immobalized they are wrecked (no need for riggers). Also Skorcha's waste the BS3 of the kans. I like rockets or grotzookas.

Hope this helps

The Boyz need to have a nob with a power klaw and a bosspole. If you are going to run a Kan Wall then I would drop the nob squad and add a Big Mek with a Kustom Force Field. Your Killa Kans need to have rokkit launchas or if you can spare the points, kustom mega-blastas. The great thing about orks in small point games such as this is that is easy to overwhelm your opponent with a mass amount of orks. The KFF will provide your Kans a 4+ cover save and your boyz, being behind the Kans, should also get a 4+ cover save. Don't spend your points on costly units such as nobs in this small of a game.

My 2.

Oh a BOSS POLE on the Nob with with the boyz is a must. Adn either a power klaw / Big choppa.

Thanks for the help guys.

So here is the revised list. It comes to 8OO. At first I had 810 pts, but I also dropped the cybork body, as the boss isn't going to need it with the forcefield around. I just need to keep him close to the mek as the frce field only has a range of 6 inch.

This more like it?

Would not go with KMB on the Killa Kanz, but that's up to you. Just saying most people would not agree with that.

That being said I feel like too many people suggest traditional lists, and give generic suggestions like, "Oh you need a Big Mek with KFF or else it will fail." Either that or lootas. I never run a KFF and I'm fine most of the time.

Yeah, well, I think I'm going to try this one first. Then I'll see if the Mek's KFF and the KMB prove their worth.

I Really like small games, more than those big ones. I plan on using this list, which I may revise after a while, and then grom to 1000. I think it'll end at 1500 though.

Sounds like a really good start. I'd personally go with rokkits on my kans and 3 kans is hardly a kan wall TBH. I'd lose the warboss and drop the mega blasters on the kans to get another set of kans with rokkits or grotzokas. You could find the points by combining the 3 troop units to 2x30. They will last much longer that way. Just a thought. looks like this
HQ
kff mek
Troop
30 shoota boys (nob PK BP)
30 shoota boys (nob PK BP)
Heavy
2 kans with rokkits
2 kans with rokkits
2 kans with grotzokas

Though I appreciate the advise Skycapt, I am not going to run anything like that. I really, really HATE shooty orks. That's one of the reasons I prefer the previous edition of codex orks.

But thanks anyways.

looks like a good kan wall for 800pts

Well, I might have difficulties with hiding 62 orks behind just 3 kanz.

But thanks.

I think I am settled for my first few games with this list. Now on to buying al the models.

All I can say is a Power Klaw on a Warboss is a lot of fun.

It is fun, but I can't spare the points for it.

Just play an 825pt game

I'll be sure to give him a PK when this list grows to 1000 pts.

May as well just go straight to 1k then. Saves the modelling problems.

Oh dark, that just adds to the fun!

I'll make Warboss Scrazza with a big choppa first, then Scrazza with a powerclaw, and then maybe even in mega armour.

Warboss Scrazzadakkadakka? 'Boss Dakkazza? Warboss Scrazzakka?

Goddamn.

No just warboss scrazza.

you know, I chose this nickname because my first real army were orks and my deathskulls warboss was called Scrazza. And now, my Bad Moon Boss stole his name.

Or did the Deathskull just 'jump ship'? "Gotta get me a new paint job I 'az, dis one ain't fast enough!"

hehe, well in this case, the old colors weren't only fast enough, but it wasn't 'Blitzy enoof' as well.
