Hi everyone, new to the boards and my gaming club have just started an escalation campaign with win points based on victories each month.

We have just finished month 1 - 500pts 1+ troop choice 1 hq max 1 choice from elite, fast attack and heavy. No special characters. Vechiles front side rear 33pts or less. No 2+ save figures.

Month 2 is 750 pts as per codex with above restrictions but 2+ figures now allowed.

Importantly we can proxy any model to be lootas for instance with them being actual GW models but all models must be on board.

My army list is as follows:

1 warboss

1 big mek with shokk attack gun

20 boys sluggas & choppas

10 stormboys

12 shootas

8 nobs

3 killa kans

30 grots 3 runtherds

12 random orks that could be proxied as tankbustas - lootas - burnas etc

1 battlewagon TOTAL 92 figures


SO my question is this - at 750 pts what do I pick for maximum effect in this setup as each month we progress to 1000 1250 1500 and 1750 by month 6.

Remeber I can proxy any model to any troop choice so please please help me dakka my way to victory! Are mega nobs viable at such high cost vs low point battle?

All feedback most appreciated!

Meganobz seem like a mixed bag to me. They are awesome looking units and I like the idea of them but they become such big targets that it is a bit of gamble. They are great in CC with their powerklaws and 2+ armor but they can't gain invuln saves (unless you add Mad Dok HQ for cybork), they cannot overwatch because of SnP so they really need to get the charge, and they have problems with leadership since they cannot take a boss pole so you will need to stick them with a Warlord. If I were to use them I would probably stick 4-6 of them in a Battlewagon with a Big Mek w/KFF + Boss Pole but keep in mind that if you have just one vehicle loaded with expensive units they will probably draw a lot of fire from the enemy.

The Mega nob models are also insanely expensive ($20+ for each one!!) but since you said you will be able to proxy I guess you don't have to worry about that. That being said, nothing is more glorious than a group of giant Orks in Mega Armor getting stuck in and wrecking people in propa' Orky fashion.

I feel like Orks are a bit better off going for a shooty list in 6th edition because of the CC changes and overwatch. If I were you I would look into getting more Lootas and some Big Gunz or even a Dakkajet.. You can get a unit of 3 Kannons for only 60 points and they help with the Ork's lack of anti-armor.

You might also consider getting an Aegis Defense Line which is a pretty good point value imo (100pts for Line + Quad Gun). They provide a 4+ cover save for your ranged units and a 2+ cover save if they go to ground. Going to ground means you can only fire snap shots but this a big deal for Orks because they suck at shooting anyways. Hitting on 6's instead of 5's isn't so bad when you're dropping a mountain of dice from Lootas.

Either way, play what you like. Bring 200 Gretchin and a Weirdboy as long as you have fun doing it.

"Listen closely Brothers, for my life's breath is all but spent. There shall come a time far from now when our Chapter itself is dying, even as I am now dying, and our foes shall gather to destroy us. Then my children, I shall listen for your call in whatever realm of death holds me, and come I shall, no matter what the laws of life and death forbid. At the end I will be there. For the final battle. For the Wolftime."Leman Russ
