Hey guys, been playing speed freeks for a while, trying to make my list leaner, meaner and greener.

Here it is:

Warboss with Warbike, PK, Attack Squig, Cybork Body 150

Big Mek with KFF 85

Troops
Ork Boyz x 11, Nob with PK, Bosspole mounted in Trukk with red paint job, reinforced ram 151

A little disappointed that the battlewagon doesn't have a red paint job, but that's fluff really

Also, I'm aware I've got a lot of kill points, but I figure more troops is worth more than less kill points.

What goes in the battle wagon? the Lootas?

yeah, protect em/keep em more mobile, if I've only got one squad I don't want skimmers just hiding from em

Warboss on his own? That's 1 kill point in the enemy's first turn

What do I dump to grab some bikers for to shield him with though? I was going to use the trukks as a shield for him

I would dump the battle wagon and one of the trukk boys unit and add as many nob bikers that you can. Pain boy and cyborks for all. Add different weapons to the rest and there you go. A mini deff star that can't be ignored. Also split the lootas into 3 mobs of 5. So you can target three different units instead of 1.

I like to run a small nob biker unit. It is fun and very tough for just a few models.

Cool, I'll write it up when I get home, but I was wondering, what do you guys think of Biker Boss Zhadsnark? (Imperial Armour 8). He's a biker boss that can tank shock, he has a PK that strikes at normal initiative, but no invulnerable save.

Don't have any IA stuff, so I am not gonna touch that. When you say competitive, I assume Tourny. IA may or may not be legal for all tournys.

Also, you have a choice now on putting the Big Mek in the trukk and running all the other trukks within 6" of it or parking him back with the lootas.

Here is the problem with Deffguns... they are heavy, so even in a vehicle you can't move and shoot. Lootas are awesome for Orks, but if you want to be fluffy and stay as a true Speed freak Evil Suns list, you might consider ditching them for that Battle Wagon.

To be honest, you probably want two Battle Wagons and two Big Meks with KFF in each wagon, with a deffrolla and 2 guns that can be used for weapon destoyed purposes with 19 boys in each.

The remaining boys are in mobs of 12 and using the wagons as cover and keeping inside the KFF in trukks. I would then look at extra points for a Nob bike squad to give you that assault punch. Maybe a 3rd Kopta.

Hope that doesn't alter your list to much! Good luck!

In my entire ork army (4500 points) I have a lot of looted vehicles, including a looted shadowsword (I run it as a skullhamma), so the lootas make fluffy sense if you consider my army as a whole. (Sorry, you can't really see that from this list, most of my boyz are painted in the colours of evil sunz and deathskullz.)

So, here's a second shot:

I'm not really worried about kill points, I figure I'll just table them (I didn't go with 2 big meks because I love my Warboss, and among my friends he's built up quite a rep, in one free for all game he took out a librarian, a chaos lord and a brother captain by himself)
