Here is a list I've drawn up for a tournament I will be playing in on Saturday, I am considering using my Orkz as I have never used them in a tournament, I always fall back onto my marines which I'm trying to break out of the habit of doing, I was just wondering if anyone had any critique on this list. I know I will be up against a wide range of opponents, from Nids (Monster Heavy) to Imperial Guard, to other Orkz, Grey Knights and likely some Tau to boot.

My list is as follows, I'm trying to not go too serious on this as I don't expect to do well, I just want to have fun with my Boyz and do some Krumpin where possible.

HQ:

Big Mek w/ Kustom Force Field = 85pts

Elite:

9 Lootas = 135pts

9 Lootas = 135pts

Troops:

19 Shoota Boyz w/ 2 x Big Shoota + Nob w/ Big Choppa + Boss Pole = 150pts

19 Shoota Boyz w/ 2 x Big Shoota + Nob w/ Big Choppa + Boss Pole = 150pts

20 Gretchin + 2 Runtherd = 80pts

11 Slugga Boyz w/ Rokkit Launcha + Nob w/ Power Klaw + Boss Pole
1 Trukk w/ Grot Rigger, Reinforced Ram + Rokkit Launcha) = 172pts

11 Slugga Boyz w/ Rokkit Launcha + Nob w/ Power Klaw + Boss Pole
1 Trukk w/ Grot Rigger, Reinforced Ram + Rokkit Launcha) = 172pts

Heavy Support:

3 Big Gunz + 12 Gretchin w/ 2 Ammo Runts = 84pts

Fortification:

Aegis Defence Line w/ Icarus Lascannon = 85pts

Total Roster Cost: 1248

The basic idea is everything advances while my two large mobs are shielded by the KFF, the Trukks will pilfer this where possible also but will generally rush in from the start, the Gretchin will hold the back line with their Big Gunz and the Aegis Defence Lines, backed up by my Lootas. I was considering trying to add a Weirdboy or a SAG Big Mek into this but I just couldn't find the points, I already had to downgrade my shoota boyz nobs to Big Choppas which was heartbreaking enough

Any critique or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Rokkit Launchas aren't worth it in my opinion; take those away and you can equip all 4 of you're nobz with PK or Bosspole (you an drop your grots down to 19 so you don't pay for the other runtherder.

Looks like a pretty fun list, the only thing I would do is give the ADL a quad gun instead since even with the grots higher bs you still only have a 50% chance of the lascannon hitting whereas you'll on avg. hit 3 times with the quad gun. overall though it looks pretty solid, good luck ol chum!

I've never really tried them so I thought they may be worth a go, I was looking at a way to sneak the PK's in so I might do this, I'm hoping to have at least one practice game before saturday so I'll try the Rokkits first, although I feel you may be right. Thanks for the assistance here

Thanks Tadpole, I did consider this too, but I felt that the Strength 9 could be really useful as it's the only thing I've got that can scratch AV14 besides Power Klaws. Again I'll try out each and see how it goes. Thanks for the advice though

I'm just recommending dropping the Rokkit launchas because with Orks; the more shots you can pull out, the more likey of doing something.

The only units I ever use rokkits with are kans or defkoptas. anywhere else is a waste of points.

I do have the option to change out one of the squads of Lootas for one of the following:

3 Killa Kans w/ Grotzookas or Rokkits.
or
3 Deff Kopta's w/ TL Rokkits + Buzzsaw.

Although I think the Lootas may be too good not to take, any thoughts?

Keep those Lootas; they're our *most* powerful shooting unit.
