What would be the appropriate amount of boyz to field in a 1000 point ork army.

I don't want too much or too little.

**Mr. DK**

Can't fit much into 100pts man

**The Thunder Child**

A real ork would wait for a propa' WWWWAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!! May i ask, why bother playing 100Pts?

**MaximusPrime**

Sorry guys I meant 1000 pts (Typo)

**The Thunder Child**

lol, well that changes things, it also depends on your theme

**MaximusPrime**

Their simply footslogging. So no trucks or battlewagons.

**ChrisCP**

As many as you own.
One 'needs' 174 boys for an ork army really.
A more numbers based answer is 2 just scrapes in as 'Hmm, ok then...'

**The Thunder Child**

This is what list i would run

x2 Big Meks w/ Kustom Force fields 85pts each
x3 mobs of 19 boyz and 1nob with PK
x1 mob of 12 Lootas
x2 squadrons of 2 killa kans w/ grotzookas

so i guess my answer is 60 boyz!

Is that 1000pts

**The Thunder Child**

yeah, 995 i think, i closed army builder, lol

**Warboss Gutrip**

Thunder Child's list is good, except split out the lootas into two units of 5. Use the extra points to get bosspoles on the boys, and kombi-skorchas on the Meks.

**MaximusPrime**

Would 50 boyz work well?

At 1000pts very few armies are going to be able to kill enough of them. but the more the merrier

**MaximusPrime**

great

**labmouse42**

I would bring 3 units of 30 boys in a 1k point game.
Each unit costs just over 200 points, so you still have point a for war bosses, lootas, etc.

It also nuts enough asses on the table to where your opponent will have a hard time dealing with them all.

**bucheonman**

Between 50 and 90.

**MaximusPrime**

I think I'll run my army with 45 boyz, but make up for it with a kan wall
