So tomorrow I am playing my first game playing against CSM. I need some help making a good 500 and 750 point lists. I know I will bring boys and lootas but I don't know what else would be a good idea to bring. I think my opponent will bring khorne berserkers, maybe a hellbrute, a rhino, and basic troops. Any advice is appreciated and acknowledged. Tell me what to do!

bring whatever you have, this being your 1st game I sure hope you will both have a gentelmenlike game and not kill each other over things, what I discovered with Orks as a new player myself and I am currently on the 5th game, bring whatever you have, or proxy (use as) units that would otherwise be doing things.

hope you read your codex real well, and I suggest with your 1st game have fun mostly, decide the "competitiveness" of the game later.

ps. 500 - 750pts there is not a whole lot you can bring from Ork standpoint. just overwhelm him with unit #'s and you'll be golden.

As for orks on low p games below 1k i suggest most boyz possible! i kinda doubt he will both have berserkers and hellbrute, cuz he needs two troop choises to get it legal.
And Csm isnt directly a cheap army :3 (well unless you go for cultists)

Anyway i'd say go for two groups of 30 boyz (if you got that many) and a big mek with kff.

then rest of the points for lootas or deffkoptas up to you really and have fun!

Will do! Thanks for the advice!

Yup just boys will do fine... and pk's, dont leave home without them. Unless you know he's bringing transports or a flier or something I wouldn't bother with lootas at this points level. If he's just fielding marines, the ap4 wont help much so just swamp him.
