Lol when i think serious orks i get this image of them in suits going to board meetings


Anyway..... This looks scary ! I feel it will get grumbles from the opponents, and utterings about cheese. Go for it!

Great list, I run a list very close to this and it kicks butt. watch out for overwatch as it can ruin a charge with your nobz if you have them strung out.

Looks good, however id say drop one of the Nob bikers with no upgrades and get Fighta Ace on both dakkajets otherwise you have 0 anti-flyer, as dakkajets wont hit the enemy flyers and about 1/3 of all armies have skimmers for 90% of their vehicles.

i like the list stinks of cheese tho thinking of using my nob bikers as well now seeing as they are awesome in 6th, t5 for Instant death yes please! now its only grey knights and Str 10 i have to worry about now. plus there's the "look our sir!" abuse that can be done and to top it off FNP acts like a invun for most things now. tbh i don't think you will have a problem with fliers the dakka jets and all fliers can choose to have skyfire. i wouldn't bother with fighter ace unless i have missed it doesn't include fliers and most skimmers are av 12+ so wouldn't target them with the jets. the lootas can shoot the 12 armor fliers who cares if we are hitting on 6's we normally hit on 5's anyway and if you get 20/30 shots there's a good chance of a few hits. the problem i have with the list is that when the nobz die you haven't got much else left that cant be dealt with fairly easily you have a massive amount of points in those two units and a few unlucky leaderships and a poor round of saving can leave you devastated. that said im being a hypocrite im thinking of going a necron/ ork list with over 700 pts of warboss and nobz

You only have 2 scoring units for objectives, since most missions are objective based now this could be a problem.

He has 3 units of 10 lootas, which make for very good anti-air.

OP it's a solid list. Probably a little boring to play and eventually it will get countered, but until the meta gets worked out I'm sure it will do wonderful. Just realize that each of those squads is 2 casualties away from a morale check, and while Ld 9 with a reroll is good it's not guaranteed. As others have said you only have two scoring units

Actually that list kind of makes me want to put deffrollas back on my battlewagons.

You do have a lack of scoring units. If they are charged by grey knights or shot at by vindis then you will find it hard.

Also not much to deal with high av. I assume you expect to glance to death everything but land raiders.

Good list

I have a very similar list, my problem with speed freaks is that we cant reach the numbers for fearless units and get wiped out pretty easily with moral checks. Nothing like getting your Nob unit cut down or forced to run off the table edge.

I thought Warbikers were FA? I'm not an ork player, but thinking about scratch-building an army (like the one listed above). Am I thinking of an old codex (I think the one I have laying around is the 2007 release)?

looks pretty good

Nobs are generally an Elites choice, but a Warboss lets you take a single squad of Nobs as a Troops choice. So with two warbosses you can have two squads of Nobs as troops. Those Nob Biker squads are not Warbike Squads, but Nob Squads with the optional bike upgrades.

I would definitely try and fit in some Shoota Boyz. They're cheap and with Snapfire, they've gotten even better. Plus they have the bodies to absorb the Overwatch Fire when you assault someone else.

Fighta Ace does not work against Flyers, last I checked. Not worth the upgrade. I worry the Nob units are too small. Consider a single large one over two small.

Normaly i run 2k Orks but this shouldstill apply, i normally run 10 nob bikers all w/ PC and CB. Then on 30 boy shootas squad w/ Zog or a Big Mek KFF.

Supposedly they updated Fighta Ace in the iTunes copy of the rules to work against flyers. I haven't seen a copy of it myself, but that's my understanding.

Well, its not on their website. Fighta Ace is obviously meant to work against Flyers, but it was probably an oversight. However, even without it, it is the best way Orks have of dealing with opposing flyers (those and Lootas). If they do fix Fighta Ace, that is going to make them solid gold.

I think this could be interesting, not sure it's "that" competitive with the lack of scoring units and the low model count it risks dying a little too much but I've never played it, it might just storm it, nob bikers certainly are scary and lootas and dakkajets are real sweet too.

Thank you all on the positive feedback!

So do agree I need more scoring troops. If I wanted to expand to 2000 pts., what would you throw in?

One quick fix is to drop the loota squads to 9 each and throw in a squad of gretchin... solid, green gold!

IDK. I think that a green tide w dakka jets and lootas might wreck this list. change Warbosses to KFFs and bikers to shootas. I think major headache. IMHO
