I am playing with an old friend this weekend, and I wanted to create a fun list for his Tau to shoot up.  My plan is to stomp across the board and get a round or two (hopefully) of HtH
Do you have any suggestions as to how I can improve this list?

My idea is to use my kommando's to help tie him up and march the green wave across the field.
I dont know how effective this would be.  As I said, my main objective is to have fun but suggestions are always welcome.

Wow, a bit unlike any Ork list I've ever seen really.

First things first, at 1850 when taking a Blood Axe army, take three pie plate tossers, you're going to need it. An indirect firing Basalisk with Grot Riggers costs 127 Points, drop one of your small mobs of boyz and throw it in there, it's very, very much worth it. Trust me, a hidden basalisk on the other side of the table that's firing indirectly at your enemy will do wonders for you.

Second off, you're running minimum sized mobs. This is a very bad idea unless you're planning on running an uber shooty list, at which point you should be using Shoota boyz not Sluggas. Big mobs of Orks work out better because they're harder to break by a large margin. You have no Grots or a Kustom Force Field so your regular Orks will get no saves vs bolter fire and the Ard Boyz will get no save against Heavy Bolters or Assault Cannons that you will be facing at 1850. 5+ Cover saves are needed to keep your boys alive. I know you have 100 Orks here spread across 10 Mobs, but they simply will not hold up well under such small mobs. I highly reccomend consolodating into bigger mobs and at least throwing some Bosspoles on the Nobs to mob up the broken units of Boyz. I'd also highly reccomend throwing in a few Power Klaws on the Nobs here. They are one of the biggest strengths of our Army.

Also your Painboss and Cyborks should be mounted in a Trukk, especially if you plan on doing most of your damage with your Boyz in shooting with all those special weapons you took.

It seems like you're going for a very shooty list and maybe do some assaulting if you live long enough. Interesting and it could work, but at the very least I'd say drop one mob and get the indirect basalisk in this list and then throw the Painboss and Co in a Trukk. Oh and Bosspoles on some Nobs and maybe the Boss and you're set.

If you're going full shooty this isn't your best option by a long way. You need 6 TL BS warbuggies and 3 TL RL buggies, with 3 Pie Plates or 2 Pie plates, BW and Flash Gitz.
2 Squads of 5 Kommandoes isn't going to tie up an IG unit I'm sorry to say. They are going to be all dead from 1 turns shooting and those points wasted. As with the other boyz they are all going to be arriving piece meal and will not last. You do not have enough fire power to take him down in the 1 or 2 turns they will all be firing.
I guess before we can really give any advice we need to know whether you want a strong list, or a fun list with lots of dakka as they tend to be mutually exclusive.
