I have just dusted off my greenskin collection, I never got around to finish to build an army with them.
Bought too many of them at once some time ago..
So I would very much like to have some help and tips on what do to.

If I understood orks so far is that one should pick one direction for the army and stick to it.
So mechanized assault sounds pretty much how I would deal with situations.

1750 points army is what I had in mind.
The short list followed is something I would like to have in the army but I am very much open for ideas.
Oh and if possible to keep regular boyz under 80 of them (if it doesn't gimp the army that is), don't want to have to paint that much orks.

Mechanized assault 1750 points
HQ: Warboss in mega armour
HQ: Big Mek with KFF
Troop: Meganobz x 5 + Trukk?
Heavy: Killa Kans x 3
Heavy: Killa Kans x 3
Heavy: Battlewagon

That's more Kan Wall than mechanized assault, my friend.

Mechanized assault is transporting all your boyz to get them into assault faster....the kanz just get left behind.




Do a search for sampler platter in the threads(I need to just link it into my sig). I started one that gives people a wide variety of units for a battlewagon rush list at 2k.

Here's the basic skeleton: 1 x 19 boyz and 3 x 20 boyz. Each unit has a nob upgrade(replacing a boy) with a PK and BP. 2 x Battlewagon with deffrolla, AP, GR, and a big shoota. 1 x Battlewagon with deffrolla, AP and a big shoota. 943 points.

From here, you can add another KFF Big Mek or Warboss if you'd like, along with lootas, warbikes, nobz, meganobz, rokkit buggies and suicide koptas. Trukk mobz typicaly don't perform well in higher point games.

The problem with mixing speeds(mechanized and foot slogers) is that you balkanize your army and let your opponent focus his full strength on the faster element while ignoring the slower.
