Im new to orks, having great fun with them (3Wins 0Losses) want to try a new list and will need some advice, thanks!

The idea is to hide the Trukk behind the Battle Wagons, bikes up front to draw fire, and rush them, 4 scoring units and all units have power claw(s) to cause havoc! (In the trukk their will be 3 power claws, is this over kill?)

War Boss (4)
- Mega Armour
- Attack Squig
- Combi- Skorcha
- Power Klaw
- Boss Pole

Big Mek (4)
- Kuston force field
- Power Klaw

Troop

I wouldent have the big shootas and rockits on the BW's since they are all main weapons and you can't fire them if you move (one if its up to 6") and i take it you will want to move with the deff rollas (which are defenetly worth it as i roller over a land raider not long ago ). Maby take armor for the wagons to keep them movin' and if the boss is going in a unit of boys lose the pole on on eof them (you dont need two per unit as you can only use it once) if he's going with the nobs them keep the pole. move the combi wep for the boss to a nob and try to add some more combi's (helps for alocation) but other than that looks good

Cool, thanks. I put on the shootas because of the weapon destroyed result getting bumped up to immobilized, but i could loose the rokkis. What is the armour i should take for battle wagons? I dont want to take 'Ard case coz i want to be able to assault for any where. Ill deff move the combi weapon for allocation good idea, cheers

yeah, I dont take 'ard case on my wagons for the same reason. The armour was extra armour which counts stuned and shaken (stuned-can't move or shoot for that turn, shaken-can't shoot for that turn).

And i ment to say CAN'T shoot if the wagon moves.

Mega armour on the Warboss includes a power klaw already.

Nobz in a Trukk as begging to be shot at, anyone who can draw LOS to them will hammer them. Give them a Battlewagon; it's dedicated transport anyway.

You don't multiple weapons on a Battlewagon because if it moves it cannot fire them all and those Wagons need to be moving. Taking a big shoota, or a rokkit, if you must but no other ranged weapons.

A few things.

1) I agree with the other poaster that your wagons could be a little cheeper. I like to just have the Roller and 1 Big shoota, and maybe armor plates or grot riggers, but keep them cheep.

2) I would get another BW for the Nobs and HQs. The biggest problem would be if your opponent had a drop pod as it is hard to hide a trukk from them.

3) I would take out the Warbikers and take either Lootas or Rokkit/Saw copters. Your only anti tank at the moment is the Rollers and the PK. You want to be able to shoot tanks dead so you can assault the stuff in them, not assault the tanks dead and then get a face full of bolters.

The last thing you want is to be immobile. I suggest Armour Plates instead of Rokkits. Rokkits will never hit, and armour plates make sure you keep moving.

I also like grot riggers. Riggers + Mek is two attempts to mobilize during the shooting phase.

Rokkits will hit, just not that much. You saying the Wagons are never going to roll a 5+?

If your going to spam rokkits, then go ahead and stick rokkits on your vehicles. But if not, go cheap and take a bigshoota. If you get lucky it might kill something, if not, itll soak up a weapons destroyed result.

I too take riggors on a BW when I take them. Its a pretty cheap way to get a vehicle moving.
