18 Boyz, Nob, PK, BSx1, Boss pole
19 Boys, Nob, PK, BSx2, Boss pole

Battle Waggon, RPJ, BSx2, deff roller, armour

Elites
6x lootas
6x lootas

Fast Attack:
Blitza-Bommer, RPJ

Total of 994 points

Edit to update

I've never found 'Ard boys to be worth the extra points you're paying for them, but then I haven't seen much of the new edition rules so I could be wrong on this.
Personally I'd suggest giving one of the Mobz Rokkit Launchas or give one of the Battlewagons some, just to give you some extra kick if your opponent wants to bring vehicles at this level.
And again, not sure how new rules go, but split the Lootas into 2x 5 man groups like everyone will most likely tell you.

Just some thoughts.

Ta. I'll split the lootas in two and probably drop the Ard Boys.

I'm never realy sure about rockets as the never seem to hit enough to be worth while, but Ill stick a few in if I have the points left.

Get the jet!

But Which one? I have built my jet to be either a Dakka jet or a Blitza-Bommer (I don't like the burna bomba). I'm rather tempted by the Blitza-Bommer but I hear people prefer the dakka jet. Not used it as yet so I'm, not sure what to do. I do want to use it though.

Ive costed for the Blitza-Bommer as it is only 5 points, added a few rockets, and fiddled with a few things, bringing me to 999. Any thoughts/sugestions?

drop the rokkit launchas from the boyz and put big shootas, drop all the upgrades from the battlewagons accept the deff rolla and a big shoota. just drive them fast and deff roll what ever vehicles you see.
that frees up a decent amount of points and then put those points into more lootas. lootas got a decent buff in 6th. they can move and shoot now and hit on 6s which isnt a big deal, because they shoot BS2 and have D3 shots.
the effective ork build in 5th got shot to hell in 6th. the most effective build right now is 30+ nob bikers and warbikers. youll be able to wreck shop at 1000-1500 point game.
other effective lists would be a complete green tide and a green tide with lots of ork jet air support. when you get to 2000pt level you have 2 force org charts. use that to your advantage.

also if you put a model with mega nob armor with lootas they can move and shoot normal BS due to the slow and purposeful special rule.

I would magnetize the jet in all the bomb places and give it all the supashootas, that way you can run it as the dakkajet with extra super shoota, bomma, or burna bomma (they all have their place)

I run the dakka jet mostly though since my wagons have deff rollas, d6 str 10 hits wrecks shop on vehicles.

I'd try to get the rolla on the 2nd wagon. Drop a big shoota, rpj and stikkbombs if necessary.

Rolla got nerfed in 6e for sure, but it's still worth its points. Still probably the best upgrade you can get on a wagon after the 5 points for armor.

You can't take 2 Big Shootas or 2 Rokkit Launchaz in a unit of less than 20 Boyz.

I wouldn't bother with a stikkbomb chukka, doesn't seem worth the points to me. Also, why do you have a Ram on a Battlewagon? It does almostnothing to a wagon as it can already ram as it is a tank and its front armor is 14, so it gets no buff in a DoG attack. If you really need to re-roll dangerous terrain tests that's all it's good for. The Def Rolla is far superior.

Ok, where to start.

any reason to drop the rpj and the armour? Are they not as good in 6th?

Unfortunatly I can only manage 10 looters with the minis I have at the moment :(. Another box is on my must buy list.

as are some more nobs. I passed on the nob biker list in 5th and I think I need to go that way now.

Realy? I did not know that. Is that from sticking a Big Mek IC with them? If so I may have to get busy with the plasticard or wait for the plastic mega nobz.

I have done. Not done the bits for the burna bomba, i still have them, but i could not be botherd to paint them utill I need them, but I have done the dakka jet and blitza.

would a second rolla be usefull at this points, or is it just so cheap that its worth it?

Bugger. Your right, i did the loadout then realise I needed to remove one to get the mek in the battlewagon and forgot about the BS/RL loss.

As noone has anything good to say about the ram I'll take that off. Ill make a few other changes.

I would keep armor so you can always move.

And, the 2nd wagon is for redundancy. If you have one wagon with a rolla and one without, I'll shoot the one with the rolla till its gone, then you have no rolla threat.

And yes, for the points its a bargain even at 1000

Thats a good point. Target priority... Pointless giving people a target to aim at. Ill have to work something out for a second rolla, or proxi it in somehow, or just order one or try and make one. I think i might have to do the same for a few extra lootas.

This looks pretty solid at 1k

Ta. I have no idea what is good now, and its been so long since I used my orks (about 12 months). I also have a few new things like the second BW. i used to run one as a gun waggon but with the changes decided it was just going to be glanced to death so am trying two and using them instead of my trukks.

Looks like i need more lootas, more bikes and a deff rolla.

the deff rolla is decorative anyway, if we weren't at a tournament I'd let you play without it being modeled (given advance notice)

try the list out a few times and see if its the way you want to go.

The consensus on the internet is nob bikers are going to be really good again. We'll see.
