I have been playing a decent amount of 6th edition with my Orks. I have slowly shifted away from BW lists to foot lists, with a lot of lootas and shoota boyz. I have also started to leave my nob bikers at home, mainly because my opponents began bringing counters, not because they become worse. So what is the most competitive lists you have seen? I thought if we could get a few lists posted and discus the pros and cons it could be productive.

I cant remember the list exactly but it was something like
2 big meks with SAG each in his own bastion,
2 squads of lootas in battlewagons,
the rest was spammed 20 shootaboys in wagons with as many big shootas as possible!
All wagons had 4 big shootas i think.

Sooo much firepower! and against assault armies when they try and assault your wagons you get another free round of shooting!

As for now I run an Badmoons Deffwing

4 mega warboss
4 mobs of 6 meganobz
4 battlewagons with 4 big shootas each

this is surprisingly competitive untill your opponent starts spamming vendettas

Im thinking about dropping 1 boss, squad and wagon which will allow mw to add 2 squads of fire warriors 3 suicide crisis suits and a commander with 3 broadsides,
not really to combat fliers but more so i can play tactically and wait a turn then counter charge

What i have seen is the same. Shoota boyz in a lot of battlewagonz but with dakka jets very similar play style. But skinny! i have to ask. It is weird because i have been playing with the idea to drop a chunk of change and running an extremely similar deffwing force? Is it really that good?

My main opponent is a Chaso Khorne player who runs daemon princes with daemon weapons, 2 dreadnoughts and either 2 defilers or 2 maulerfiends along with some other stuff and I always do very well against him.
Obviously against Fliers thats a different story and unfortunately for me my gaming group are all now starting to spam fliers so i dont use this army near as much as i want to.

I did put it on ebay cos I hate having such a good army that i never get to play with but then i decided to take it back off because I dont see it selling for even near what I paid for it which is a real shame.

I sent you a message sinny! hahaha but like i was saying what people have been telling me and what i have noticed is 1 dakka jets are just great for their points. And although i'm not the biggest fan of the model lootas are very good as well. I see a lot of list with around 15 - 20 lootas and a dakka jet or 2 (sometimes three) but really just running a lot of shoota boyz with this combination is the way to go i have found in sixth edition. Hope this helps

dakka jets are ok but if i was taking them i would take 3 or 6 and some warpheads. Im always triying to get the absolute maximum benefit out of my armies!
Also I just realised that this is for 1999 points so no meganob army :(

With the Meganob army I would do this..

2 mega warboss

6 meganobs elites

6 meganobs troops

6 meganobs troops

3 battlewagons

Tau commander with missiles

3 crisis with meltas

2x 6 fire warriors

3 broadsides
