ur list is illegal you need 2 troop choices, not 1!

really don't like the look of 3 troops of deffkopters change to 2 big units last longer might hurt by also having powerclaws.

also you dont have enough units for a 1500pts army, get more!!

His list is legal cause he's got a Warboss and one of those Nobz gangs is troops.....Make sure you know stuff !

beleive it or not my best times against wolves are... shooty ork

looks like you're in the 1500 rang, here's one of my 1250 shoots lists

big mek w/ sag and bp 100

3 kannons 2 ammo runt 66

round up the buggies to 2 in all and some more boys for bubblewraping and you'r probably eat some wolves providing good SAG rolls

it wasn't made clear by the way he didn't put them into troop choice but sorry for making that mistake

Hmmm... If your problem is CC i'm afraid meganobs alone are not going to win the day for you . Against Wolves, their chances of being successful are slim if you are not in control of the charge, even less if there are power weapons involved...

I think I've posted things about meganobz in the Tactica section..why don't you take a look.

From experience, a meganobz list needs good Ld-cc support character, speed, resilience, fire support as well as distraction unit(s) to help them reach the intended targets intact & give the targets good krumpin'.

So you have battle wagons for transport & koptas for fire support. Battle wagons are nice, but if you have boarding plank then it'd be nicer. Tank-shock 12" with deathrolla, & 6 S10 attacks from your warboss without having him risking his neck in cc.

Your fire support units are vulnerable to enemy fire support units a.k.a the Long Fangs. Thus you'd need something to distract the LF. I'd suggest a Snikrot-komandos unit armed with 2 burnas to harrass/distract enemy fire support units. From my personal experience, they worked wonders if you give them the proper target(s). But don't be over ambitious and charge multiple LF units at the same time, komandos are not that good.

Finally, your meganobz lack resilience. 2+ armour sv is good, but without invul sv, they are vulnerable to power weapon attacks. I've always field mine with cybork body upgrade courtesy of Mad Dokk Grotsnik. 5+ invul sv is the best that Orks can muster, but its better than not having it at all.

Is your Big Mek's function is only as a cover sv provider? What a waste of cc support. If you give him some upgrades, he can lead the meganobz in cc. Cybork body, attack squig & burna would be nice.

FYI, I don't use Big Mek + KFF in my meganobz list. Instead, I use Ghazghkull & Grotsnik...so far, I'm very happy with my list.

Weeeeelll first off, CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL. Turn it off, its a pain in the arse to read.

Having three non suicide units only one of which is scoring is NOT a good plan. I'd reccomend More boyz. Boyz before toyz. Boyz in wagons, keep the boss if you want, id change it to big mek with kff, Keep the koptas, Scout+turbo boost then first or second turn assualt on his long fangs. Remember they are still 3 Attack Str 4 2 W on the charge. And you get to shoot.

On a slightly more important note. Dont list tailor, unless your both doing it. It keeps you in a bad habit, come up with an All Comers list or you will quickly lose friends at your LGS. People dont like you changing your list to beat them specifically.
