The idea is to line the 'ard boyz up with the doc in front giving the rest of the army a 4+ cover, while they soak up fire

ive got 30 points left over right now...i don't know where to put them, i don't often run lists without lootas, so well see how it goes

all Advice and criticism is welcome

If you've got Grotsnik in the list why not make the 'ard Boyz into Cyborks for 1 point more and the benefits of always getting a save? or why not try to make more of the list into cyborks?

The Nob Bikers seem a little out of place, why not drop them to make more cybork units? I find that many opponent's just lose their cool at having to deal with a 5++ save instead of the expected roll-to-remove that wounding is for Boyz most of the time.

Actually remove both Nob units to get the points to cybork as much as possible, if you can't cybork all the boyz squads, trim them down a bit and try to squeeze the Lootas in instead.

Also littlenibbler Orks aren't about armour saves.
Orks are about having too many models on the table, and wasting the other guy's time with your movement phase.
Orks are about having the toughest units on the table.
Orks are about not caring about how many bodies are left in a long winding trail until the squad is down to less than a third its starting strength.
Orks are about rolling more dice then you can count without the aid of a calculator or a pen and paper.
Orks are about having totally fething insane characters tearing gak down like Doc Grotsnik, Ghazghkull or Snikrot.
Orks are about being too fething awesome to die...
Lets settle this in the arena http://pantsformer.mybrute.com

That's awesome!! Now practice practice. Getting all those minis on the board and moving will be time consuming.

Also, if you've got some extra points laying around you could always take grots!

I think it has, just hasn't been re-posted. It looks like a Cybork Swarm, led by a mob of 'ardborks and Grotsnik.

This'd be absolutely terrifying to most people, I bet.

And for the conversion, try getting some guitar or piano wire (the metal wrapped kind) and just stick some little loops of wire from their heads into their backs.

Isn't 'ard boy AND cybork a little redundant? The invuln save trumps the armor save every time, right?

Unless it's a non-AP4 weapon, like a basic Bolter or other Ork weapons. This army is all about getting as many saves as possible, from what I see. The psychological shock alone of an ORK army that always rolls saves and saves a full 3rd of casualties seems like it would be absolutely terrifying to any sort of gunline army like Tau, or Assaulty armies like Blood Angels.

It's like Green Skinned Demons, only less Deep Striking.

Though putting in a mob of Cyborked Stormboys at higher points costs would probably make most opponents S&*t themselves.
