Since you aren't using any other elite slots, I would split the Lootas in to 3x5 squads.

The battlewagon seems odd. I would drop it for a Big Mek w/KFF and more 'ard boys

Like this?

That is a cool greentide list
Cool until the movement phase
Also I hope you have a ton of dice

I think your warboss is running with the ard boyz
But you should still have that Nobz PK'd up
If your warboss gets singled out against any dread and killed that whole squad just died, and DCCW is very good at ID your warboss

You're better off with more Boyz than with 'Ard Boyz. The upgrade is just too expensive for what it returns. You could have thirteen more Boyz for what you're paying to upgrade those twenty 'Ard Boyz.

Just look at the numbers; four points is two-thirds of the price of another Boy for a 50% chance of making an armor save. Two-thirds for one-half - that's a horrible deal.

Moreover, it's actually less than one-half; regular boyz do have an armor save against some things and 'Ard boyz don't get any save against AP4 or better. Add to this the fact that a KFF can give at least two squads a 5+ cover save and you can't miss the point.

If you're still not convinced, consider that more Boyz produce more shots and more attacks in HtH. Paying for the 'Ard Boy upgrade does nothing to enhance these things so it wouldn't be a good deal even if the armor save was proportional to the cost.

Wait for this.....You have too many boys.

I would use big guns for the antitank. Though buggies are fun and effective.
You could save points on boyz and take some kannons which are more likely to hit and higher strength than the lootas.

You never have too many boyz, it's literally impossible to have too many boyz. The buggies will be fine for AT, their is a reason when people make an ork list they usually use buggies for AT instead of Big gunz.

I would tell you to wash your mouth out with soap for this comment, but we all know orks don't have any...

I like the spread out adjustment you made with the lootas and the buggies. Orks are gonna die, but when has that ever NOT been the case! This way you can literally overwhelm the opp. with targets. Very orkie imho.

By taking out the 'ard boy upgrade, I was able to put in 10 more boys and give the Nob a power klaw. I was thinking about taking out the loota's for some killa kans with grotzooka's does that sound strategically sound... I mean orkie? haha

But basically i'm wondering if this would be a viable list?

That list looks completely viable. As for the Lootas vs Kans. Their both good at taking down MEQ. It's just a personal preference their.

I just did a point conversion and if I don't get the loota's I could get 5 kans with grotzooka's. Now that doesn't seem worth it to me but do you think that switch could be just as good if not better?

Keep the lootas imo. Kans don't have the range from the backline, will be in the way in the front since they are heavy.
