Hi Dakka,

Been playing/experimenting with orks for a while. I accidently bought some ork nobs off ebay the other day so I am trying to incorporate them into a list. Units I have that I have not included in the list below are: 2 rockit buggies, bigmek with KFF, another 20-30 boys and 3 ork nob bikers.

HQ - Warboss, PK, TL Shoota, Eavy Armour, CB and BP - 110pts

Elites - 12 Lootas

Troops
20 Boys - 120
Nob Squad - 270pts
Nob - CB, EA, Big Choppa
Nob - CB, EA, PK
Nob - CB, EA, PK
Nob - CB, EA, Shoota/skorcha
Nob - CB, EA, TL Shoota,Big Choppa
Painboy

Heavy Support
Battlewagon - RPJ, 2x BS, 1x Kannon - 115pts
Battlewagon - RPJ, 2x BS, 1x Kannon - 115pts
Big Guns - 3x Ammo Runts, 6 Additional Crew -87pts

So I have fire support of Lootas and Big Guns. Warboss with nobs in one BW, 20 Boys in the other. Me and my opponent do not say which unit is which and instead write it down before the game starts to ensure no cheating. Two BW charging forward with fire support from lootas and guns. That is the general idea. I dont think it is super competitive as nobs are what they used to be. Let me know what you guys think. Any feedback advice would be great.

I would drop the twin-linked shootas on the Warboss and Nob. It's a waste of points cause the only time you'll be shooting with them is right before they assault.

The Kannons on the Battlewagons won't be used often if you're using them to plow towards the enemy. You vehicles should either be lean transports or gun platforms, but not both. Since you're using them as transports they need either rams/Deff Rolla to keep them safe from dangerous terrain.

Buy two more Lootas and split them into two squads of seven, doubling your chances for 3 shots a turn. Generally you don't want your lootas above 10 because then they're fearless and can't go to ground when something nasty shoots them.

The painboy has to take a cybork body with the rest of his unit. I would drop the 'Eavy armour on the Nobs/Warboss. The number of ap4 or better weapons in the game are endless.

That would give you another twenty points to put a Nob in your boyz squad with bosspole and Big Choppa. having that str 6 in the unit can be handy at popping vehicles.

HQ Warboss w/ PK, BP, CB, Shoota -- 100

7 Lootas -- 105

Big Gunz -- 3x Kannons, 3 Extra Krew, 3 Ammo Runts -- 78 pts
Total -- 998

The lack of troop choises is gonna get you, personally i dont find nobz good at 1k i would rather have more boyz and as said above skip the kannons

And i would rather go full speed or footslogging, mixing tends to go wrong for orks :/

Convert to meganobz and don't look back that's 20 wounds from boyz and deffrollas with 4 rokkits each wagon.

Sorry on iPhone currently.

Thanks for the tips. I have green tide lists but as I had just come by some Nobs I fancied trying them out. I will def drop the eavy armour off the nobs and boss and add a nob to the boys squad. I never thought about the two squads of lootas sounds great to me! I am going up against chaos this week so I will let you know how the list runs. As for the lack of troops. Me and my gaming partner tend to play straight up annihilation so lack of troops isnt an option until we branch out. What is the purpose of the rams on the front of the wagons?
