okay, making an ork army for the school league in UK, rules are 600pts, army must have 1hq and 2 troops, can have 2hq's, unlimited troops, 1 elites, 1 fast attack OR 1 heavy support

heres what i have sofar

HQ
1x big mek with KFF, PK and Eavy armor

Troops
20x boyz with 2 big shootas, 1 nob with PK, BP Eavy armor

20x Boyz with 2 big shootas, ardboyz upgrade, 1 nob witth PK, BP

AND

I have 90 pts spare, so its a choice between

1 x deff dread, 2 scorchas and grot riggers
OR
14x shoota boyz with 1 big shoota
OR
5x Lootas, and a few more boyz, or cybork bodys for nobs

what should i do? i have been using lootas for now, but idk wether to keep em or not

any suggestiosn, for improvements/tactics,

cheers

IMO don't bother with 'ard boyz upgrade as its never worth its points. Dropping that + the 90pts should net you another full mob of boyz, which is probably the best way to go. Dropping the special weapons on the slugga squads is also a good idea as you want to be running them, so no shooting

Lootas give you some power to take out anything tougher (vehicles, anything higher Toughness, ajjajajajajkjfkdjfkdj) which you probably want. You certainly have enough infantry to get by.

Try this mini horde.

HQ
1x big mek with KFF, PK, BP - 115

Troops
20x Shoota Boyz + Nob /w PK, BP - 170
20x Shoota Boyz + Nob /w PK, BP - 170
24x Shoota Boyz - 120 (Big Mek attached to this unit)

Plenty enough PKs to pop any armor. And no one should be able to kill enough boyz before you get in assault.

Just make sure to use that Ork shooting when need be, it's more awesome than you might think and keeps your opponent from trying to kite you.

hey, so i got i new list, gonna do some testing with it, but seems good so far.

HQ - Ghazghull

Troops - Meganobsx3 (ghazghull stays in this unitt) - trukk with red paint and grot riggers

- 11 shoota boyz, 1 with big shoota - trukk with red paint and grot riggers

- 11 shoota boyz, 1 with big shoota - trukk with red paint and grot riggers

2nd list needs more rams on the trukks

ghaz in 600 points seems... too ambitious thats 1/3 your ponts in one model and not enough boays. he is likely there fo rthe better wagh bt i think a warboss in megaarmor would serve you better and more points fo rmore meganobs in that trukk with points to spare for rams on the trukks

well, sofar the ghazkull list is doing V good, eveyone is too scared of ghazkull, so they all focus fire on him, and cant get past his armor/squad, by that time the trukks are close, ghazkkull charges, shootas provide support and capture objectives, doing good

p.s, what do the rams do on trukks?

rams allow a trukk to tank shokk, front armor counts as 12 for a death or glory roll, and re-roll dangerous terrain check

Well, ghazghull single -handedly killed 525 points of a space marine force, the shootas help support and control objectives
