Folks,
OK I am thinking about starting a second army (Tau) or buying 6 ork trukks. This would be an example of my idea. My main force is a 2500pt Kan Wall. I promised myself not to start a new army until I'm done painting ALL my models. All I have left is a few Nobz and a BM w/KFF. THEN I either start Tau or re-up for 6 trukks. Ideas critiques would be most welcome. The other idea is max out my troops with 6 squads of 30 shoota boyz but that's CRAZY... I mean i nearly lost my mind painting orks and I need to stop buying orks becuase I need THERAPY!!!!!

You only need one Big Mek with 6 Trukks and Kanz don't suit Trukks. Trukks speed ahead to get into the fight while the Kanz lag behind. if you keep the Trukks back to stay in KFF range then they are not doing what they are meant to do properly.

Mercer is correct. Your army has two different speeds.

Why not battlewagons? You've got the boyz to put in them. Throw in some lootas and a few suicide koptas and you've got the standard battlewagon rush.

Honestly, if you're THAT close to burning out on orks, get yourself the Tau army. Totally different to paint, and you'll learn another Codex real well. Win win situation. I know you won't turn your back on us other warlords
