Hi there,

I made a 500p list which I'm going to collect and paint within this month.

But before I really start collecting (only have a warboss, and boyz with a nob) I wan't to know if this list is actually any good,

It's mostly based on a fast attack supported by some heavy fire:

500p:
HQ :

-Warboss; Power Klaw, cybork body, attack squig, eavy armor.

Troops :

- 10 boyz; Nob Upgrade, Boss Pole, Power Klaw (Trukk transport)
- 10 boyz; Nob Upgrade, Boss Pole, Power Klaw (Trukk transport)

Heavy support :

- Looted Wagon; boomgun, 'Ard Case.

I'd like to add that this army will mostly face normal space marines.
That's why I've added a Str 8 AP 3 large blast in there

I like it for the points value, it'll work well, I will say at 500 points tactically its really hard to beat a small kan wall.

If you want it to be fast though I'd probably prefer to run a battlewagon for the warboss and boys, keep the nob w/ bp and pk, trukks are just to easy to blow p, then have 10 grechin w/ ruth as 2nd troop choice.

I also always go big gunz over looted wagon 60 points gets you 3 kannonz w/ krew . harder to kill, no don't press that rule, and saves you 65 points as your looted wagon w/ boomgun is 125

that said... you have no elites on the board and lootas will even out preform the big guns usually

500 point list with this might look like

you have the warboss so keepin ghim the same equipment for that reason

Warboss; Power Klaw, cybork body, attack squig, eavy armor. 115 (ovecosted for the points value still imo i'd drop the squig)

18 boys + nob bp pk - 154
10 grots w/ ruith - 40 (stands on objective)

battlewagon w/ deff rolla and red paint job , 3 big shootas 130

3 big gunz (kannons) at 60 points

at 500 they will probably have a hard time dealing with AV 14 front and even if they get the AV12 side str 8 only pens on a 5 or 6 or glance on a 4 then needs a 4 5 or 6 to matter, riggers give a chance to negate immobalise, and the 3/s just kill big shootas for first 3 so no biggie

trukk spam works against some armies, but SM players eat AV10 unfortunatly, so your trukks will die fast and not enough boys to demolish sm unless you get the charge

thanks helps alot! Now I know what to buy and bring up against my space marine adversary!

Orks are fairly cheesy at 500pts. If you are looking on building up your Ork force beyond 500pts the staple of an Ork army are PKs, Boyz, and KFF, from there you branch out to kan wall or mechanized or whatever.

So at 500pts I would recommend something like this:

Big Mek -KFF -PK 110
Ork Boyzx25 -Nob -PK -BP -Big Shootax1 195
Ork Boyzx25 -Nob -PK -BP -Big Shootax1 195

5+ cover save means your boyz will get into combat with good numbers still. Between the Nobz and Big Mek you will be dishing out 12 S9 attacks on the charge with 72 WS4 S4 attacks preceding that. And this would be fairly cheap think you can get AoBR boyz on ebay for a buck a pop and $20 big mek. So since you have a box of boyz with a nob get a 2nd one for a 2nd nob with PK and BP, so you would only need 28 boyz after that.

bigmek - kff

deff dread 2 skrochas
10 boys shootas

3 killa kans all grotzooka
3 killa kans all grotzooka

mmmmm cheese

i like it but i would take a mek over the warboss

Or take Wazdakka, 2 Bike Mobz of 4 each w/Nob, PK, Bosspole, and a min-sized Gretchin squad.

Fast, shooty, and tuff. Wazdakka and the PKs for tankbustin', the Gretch for objective duty.

Power Klaws go last >.>

Power Klaws go last >.>

And?

The list looks good for 500 points. But at that cost, you might be better of with 70 Shoota boyz and a Warboss with PK

Did some 40k shopping today,

With the comments, wich were already told to me, in mind I bought a Trukk and another boyz box. As an Ork player, you will need that any way, so I expanded a bit already

now what happened next was that the shopkeeper told me my customer card was full, which means you may spend up 10% of all your buys total for free in the shop, this came down to 43€ sadly engough you can't use this 10% for orders made in the shop so I wen't looking between all the orks boxes to see what I could buy best with it, but then my eye fell on the Basilisk... I was sold, for there also weren't any other intresting ork boxes there... So now I already have a very Orky looking basilisk = looted boomgun wagon, in my showcase xD I just couldn't resist, even more because he was for free!

so geuss I'll make my first list any way though still, my next buy will be a mek with KFF

Nice...

That's one of the great things about Orks. You aren't confined to the Ork kits when you're buying. You have the entire GW 40K range open to you. IG Heavy Weapons Teams, especially, are a good deal. 5 different heavy weapons for 15 bucks? (at least at my FLGS). Yes please.
