Okay heres the list for 750 pt battles iv'e been using lately.. Its good vs nids and marines.
big mek with k.f.f 85
pts
dread (as troop) 2 skorchas 85pts
10 ork shootas inc Nob bosspole/bigchop.80
pts
15 grots inc runtherd 55pts
3 mega nobs 2 kombi skorcha 130pts
dread xtra claw skorcha 95pts
dread 2 skorchas 85
3 kans with grotzookas 135pts

lots of armour and dakka... Keep the mega nobs with the mek to keep him alive let me know what you think

I like it. My only question is what you use the grots for? Other than that, this list looks awesome.

Those grots took out a spacewolf rune priest other then that they are good for holding objectives... It was either grots or a weird boy.... Grots have always made me proud..

This army is fully painted aswell eventually there will be pics

That's a lot of armor to have to deal with at 750 pts. I like the style of this list a lot. It's odd because it's an ork army with very few boys, but it looks like it's the big mek's warband of krumpin' machines and such. I wish you luck with it! Definitely post pics of it!

I like seeing that many walkers at low point levels. 6 AV targets with cover saves is a pain for most armies.

My only concern is the lack of any anti tank at range. Grotzookas can take on light armor in a pinch, but rokkits are going to be your only real threat to anything heavy at range.
I would drop the kombi skorcha's off the big meks to make points to put 2 rokkit launchers on the kans. Moving through difficult means you might not make some assaults if you drop two templates and they pull away the models in front. I am also not a fan of single shot weapons, but that is my 2 cents. YMMV.

I tend to chop up tanks being an ork player rather then shoot at them.. The skorcha on the dreds can be swapped for big shootas at same cost not much good at anti tank tho... I always miss with rokkits.. And grotzookas can score alot of hi str hits.

Last night fielded this but as a 1000pts..
i added.....
bigmek... Eavy armor bosspole 45
10 ork shootas.. Nob bp and big chop 80
battlewagon..deffrolla 2 big shootas zap gun 135....
i took out the kombi skorchas on the meganobs saving me ten points.
in last night game against deamons.. All i lost was 2 killer kans... Total ork stompalot!

Had you thought of running a single copta instead of the grots? - you could run it as a sacrificial unit targeting the opponents antitank. I might run some lootas instead of the meganobs, but that would probably change the army too much.

I like ur thinking with the deffkopta... Id have to save another 5 pts sumwhere to give it a buzzsaw tho... But im pretty keen on my 15 grot squad they always get the job done... And you really dont need any anti tank as the dreads and kans are the anti tank... Just keep the whole block moving at once... Plus if you play the 1000 pt list the battlewagon has a zzap gun if it ever hits

The copter is the anti - anti tank so you take out the highest strength weapon, and that will help to stop all the vehicles getting penned. You probably don't need the buzzsaw if you are taking a single. That gives you a few more points to play with.

I really think a Kopta is over kill in 750. What kinda vehicle do you see in 750 that would need that. I would drop the grots and add more boys. you are lacking in that department bad. If I was playing you shoot them first and watch you fail lD test and mek is gone too with the KFF. Easy win.

I hide the mek within the mega nobs behind the kan wall... Trying to make it as difficult as possible to draw line of sight to him. Where are you from? Because id like to see you claim an "easy win" from this list

Thats sir is a "challenge" but obviously a friendly one

Ok, well you only have 3 meganobs, easy to instant kill.

You are going to have a hard time holding objectives. with only 10 boys and some grots. I hate grots by the way.

I play kan wall and i think your list could be alot better. I live in southern MD and would love to accept your challenge.

Ok well next time your in the u.k its on .. I can see how you would think instant deathing the nobs would be easy but you have to beable to target them first.. And remember one of the dreads is a troop aswell to hold objectives. I loiter my grots and boys round the back or stick them in cover untill they can take an objective whilst the kans do the chopping. Thanks for all your comments tho gunna use the 1000 pt version of this list against nids on sunday... Any ideas there?

IIRC Dreads are vehicles and vehicles cannot hold objectives.

Depends what sort of game you play... They count as a troop if you take a bigmek.. In planet strike any unit can hold an objective.. And in a standard game it states.... Troops units can take objectives... It doesnt say only infantry

This is 1 awsome list...
