Hi,

after playing a game yesterday and finding the nobs and dakkajet less impressive since 6th edition i made a new list, tell me what you think:

HQ
------
Warboss on a Bike with PK, Eavy Armor, Cybork Body, Attack Squig

Elite
-------
12 X Lootas & 3 X Mekboys
15 X Kommando's & Boss Snikrot, 2 Kommando's take burna

Troops
----------
30 X Shoota Boyz, 2 exchange for Big Shoota
30 X Shoota Boyz, 2 exchange for Big Shoota
30 X Shoota Boyz, 2 exchange for Big Shoota
30 X Shoota Boyz, 2 exchange for Big Shoota

Heavy
---------
3 X Big Gunz with kannons, 12 X Gretchin, 1 X Runtherd, 3 X Ammo runt
3 X Big Gunz with kannons, 12 X Gretchin, 1 X Runtherd, 3 X Ammo runt
3 X Killa Kans with Rokkit Launcha


The Idea is to use Snikrot and Kommando's combined with the Warboss from some backdoor sneakyness. forcing the oponnent to think about my reservers, 120 Boys slog to the front with Killa kan Sandwich with Lootas
Big Gunz shoot stuff from back

idea is to work like this

---------- / --------------- / ----------------- / -----------
ORK1 / ORK 2 / ORK 3 / ORK4
/ --------------- / ----------------- /
/------------------------------------/
--------- / KANS / -------------
/-----------------------------------/
/ -----------------------------------/
/ LOOTA & MEKS /
/------------------------------------/


thoughts are welcome

The kill kans are out of place.
Snikrot is not that great anymore :(

Bring a kff, or a ADL to protect orks.
Bring probably nob bikers if you want ot keep your warboss on a bike.
Certainly bring more lootas.
Then bring an ADL and more kannons as they are awesome, maybe a grot unit to man the quad gun and score.
Then dakka jets are awesome.

Nob bikers are arguably one of the hardest units in 6th edition. Drop the killa kans, and get some bikers with painboy. Those kans are just going to draw every single anti-tank gun on the board to them like a magnet. Then they'll turn on your boss who, not being in a unit, will be pretty easy to pick off. Your mileage may vary with the kommandos, I don't like them personally, but don't let that stop you from trying them out.
