The function of this list is pretty simple. 1500 points, 3 BWs, 2 Trukks all filled with Orks. Drive at enemies, kill enemies, back in time for dinnah.
Middle BW has the Big Mek and 18 Boyz + 1 Nob, then a BW on one flank has the Nobz and the other flank has the WB and 18 Boyz + Nob. 2 Trukks inbetween with the standard 10 boyz + pk bp nob.

Get an attack squig for your warboss.

Your nob squad is just plain bad. There seems to be no wound allocation fun involved. You are taking so many that it takes a third of your army. Reduce this down or take some burnas that do well in battlewagons.

Also load up on antitank, trying to eventually get close enough to klaw or deathroll is not a great plan of action though you take them as they are great actions. You should probably take rocket buggies as the ranged antitank threat.

OK, how about this? Dropped the Nobz and the Trukks, added an attack squig to the WB, and added 2 units of 10 lootas each for light AT and two deffkoptas for AT suicide.

Anyone else?

that's pretty offensive and will probaly send someone into an emotional downspiral which may lead to a mid-life crysis and may be fatal...

List looks good...Go krump 'ead

I like the idea of the first list, but with tweeks of course. If we could meld the 2 together I think it would be so much better.

So after some thought and playing around with Army Builder here is what I have for you.

Boss: CBB, EA, Squig(yes no PK, he gets 7 attacks on the charge this way at str 6. He is still a beast and not a big target this way. I have found he lasts longer when he doesn'thave a PK.)
Mek: KFF

Lootas x8
Lootas x8

Nobs x6: CBB
-Painboy
-Nob: PK, BP
-Nob: PK
-Nob: Waagh Banner
-Nob: BP (Cheap upgrade)
-Nob:
Battlewagon: BShoota, Kannon, Armor, Rolla
Sluggas/Shootas x20
-Nob: PK, BP
Sluggas/Shootas x20
-Nob: PK, BP
Sluggas x12
-Nob: PK, BP
-Trukk: Ram
Sluggas x12
-Nob: PK, BP
-Trukk: Ram

Trakks x3: Rokkits

Kopta: Buzzswaw, Rokkits

Battlewagon: BShoota, Kannon, Armor, Rolla

Well there you go.

Edit: Opps just saw it was only 1500pts. Used to doing 2k. Lol!
Edit.1: ok so drop the Nobs, drop the kopta and 1 trakk from each squad and add a loota to each squad also add planks to the BW's. Thats 1497pts.

Cool, I like. Any reccomendations you can make if I don't have Trakks? Was leaning towards bikes, but I know I have like zero AT haha

EDIT: How about the WB gets a Big Choppa? Strength 8 initiative 5 with 6 attacks on the charge sounds fun to me. Hitting on 3+ and wounding on 2+ vs. MEQs, not to mention killing any multiple wound models with T4 outright...would not bode well for many enemy characters.

EDIT 2: Also, why not keep the BP and Banner on the same Nob?

Well the trakks provide much needed At. Buggies are fine too I just like the movement options that the trakks provide. Um you could do 1-5 man Koptas with 2 sucide koptas if you have that many koptas.

As for the second question. A big choppa is nice but you are allready wounding on a 2+ anyways as you are st6. Yes the instant kill is nice but only really worth it on the charge. Its really your choice. But i have found that slugga and choppa is more then enough from a boss. I never liked a PK on my boss. He has a better Init so might as well use it. But with the BChoppa striking at Init its not so bad either.

And the third question. The reason I didn't is 1) wound allocation shenanigans. 2) I don't like putting all that on one model. Just because you have the wound allocations doesn't mean you can't roll bad for that one Nob. If you notice there are 2 BP's in the Nob squad. Its just a cheap Wound allocation. Yes you don't need 2 BP's, but it doesn't hurt either.

Alright, I'll probably work on getting some Trakks or something. I'm only really worried about armor that is above AV12, anything else the Lootas can handle. In the meantime, do you think a kannon on each BW is feasible for a little extra AT? It's a long shot at a 5+ to hit and a 6 to glance on AV14...but what do Orks have for heavy ranged AT really?

Oh for sure. I always have a kannon on my BW's. As you can see they are on the BW's in the list I built. I like them as they can also be fired as a defensive weapon. St4 blast. How many AV 12 nodels do you fight against? I have had no problem with AV 13 tanks with my lootas. All you really have to do is stun/shaken it so its not firing. I will let the Rollas or the PK's kill the tanks. I just need to make sure it doesn't fire. If I can do that with lootas then great. As far as AV 14 well that is the hane of orks. Always has, always will.

The real bonus of the Buggies/Trakks is they can also stop assaults going to your BW's. That is what hurts the BW's the most. Turbo them in front of the unit that might assault and stop them from doing so. The Buggies are really sacrifical for the most part in my eyes. Yes, you want them to get some points back and do some damage but they are the best for area denial.

The only problem I would see with this list is IG. They have so many heavy weapons they could wipe you out really fast. The can bring more tanks then you, have more fire power then you and out number you in troops.

Hope this helps.

Ahh! I missed that you had included the Kannons. Alright thanks for your help man, I played a version of this list last night against an SM with 2 LRs but I had accidently forgot some models at home and wound up filling the points with a full squad of Stormboyz and Zagstruck (lol).

Ran with just 2 battlewagons and 3 trukks, all of which got blown up, but I ended up winning anyways thanks to Zagstruck (who didn't come in until turn 4 because of a delay mishap!), and I destroyed both Landraiders in CC. Twas epic.

Sure no problem.

I am curious, how did you blow up the LR's in CC? You must have got some lcuky rolls.

I played this list tonight at my LGS.

Mek: KFF, BP
Mek: KFF, BP

Meganobs x5: 3x Kombi Skorchas
-BW: Rolla, Kannon, BShoota, Plank, Plates

Plan was to put Mek's with the Meganobs but decided to put them with the shootas instead. Ended up winning VP's 10 to 4. Worked really well.

Cool list! This was against that SM army right? Did the Meganobz do a lot of krumpin?

Busting one of the land raiders was lucky, and happened on an assault from Zagstruck straight out of deepstrike. Rolled a 5 and lost 3 Stormboyz unfortunately, but that didn't matter. The LR had only moved 6 in the previous turn and I made 3 hits from 5 attacks hitting on a 4+ with his PK Feet. One penetrated then wrecked it so that one wasn't "blown up" per se. That whole phase was a gamble and ended up being the coup de grace of the battle, even though it ended close. The other Land Raider was easy since it had been immobilized earlier, and I assaulted it with a boyz mob and the PK Nob blew that one up in his own face

Yeah they didn't do to bad. Here is alittle write up of what happen.

Thats awe3some, it is always nice when you can blow up a LR with orks especially in CC too. Good Job!

Thanks man, from my experience the only way to blow up a Land Raider with Orks is with a Power Klaw! Damn AV14...

Well thats really the only way. I useally prefer the Kans or Dreads to do that. Better chance with St10.
