My friend thinks he wants to start Orks and he asked me to write him a horde list, I've put it up here for criticism.

The idea is quite simple, throw the warboss in with one of the Boyz run them all forwards and have the big guns focus fire on anything too Killy because o the variation in the guns they should beable to take out almost anything.

It's a true Ork WAAAGH with 90 Ork Boyz there are not many races that can take out so much in smaller games like this.

LOVE THIS LIST :p the only comment would be to put 3 of the same big guns in the same squad so you can differentiate fire between the different types of weapon because the kannon and lobbas are more troop based compared to the zapp gun. But otherwise a very fun ork army.

Thanks for the advice and feedback, anymore opinions are still welcome

Matching big Gunz would mean that the opponent would target the most expensive battery first A.K.A the zzap gunz

Dakkajet is always welcome imo!

Just remember that with the WAAAGH, it's 18 rolls (to be rerolled!)! <3

I would bring an ADL, as you can not rely on there being cover for your artillery.
They are much better with ammo runts. Also crew helps and runtherdz help them not run away.
Kannons are by far the best weapon, just take them. Then I like bringing some catapults as they look cool.
I would usually find some points to bring some lootas as well, they complement the kannon shooting well.
a unit of grots on a quadgun would give a scoring unit at the back and fit the shootiness of the list.

Foot slogging boyz need a kff. You can get away with having just one. Without cover boyz die, with cover they also die but hopefully slow enough.

Also try to use shoota boyz, unless you get AoBR orks really cheap.
My main advice there would be do not be frightened to sit in cover and shoot with boyz.

This sort of list would have worked really well last edition. Now foot slogging is trickier but ork shooting works just as well if not slightly better, hence why advice leading to a gunline.
