This is my list what do you guys think? I included the pdf if anyone wants to download it for details.

I would love all the feedback i can get! thanks again!

Swap the kustom mega blaster for kustom force field, I asume your running the dreads as troops. You might wana show that to avert confusion.
I asume the sag mek goes with zzap guns? Id run kannons for cheapness but thats personal preference.
I think shootas are a waste on a dread, they're pointless really. Id go a skorcha and an extra arm on each. Also your kans load out is poor. The only weapons worth having are grotzookas and rokkit launcher. You need those bs3 rokkits more than shootas or skorchas which waste Bs3 (make sure each kan in a squad has the same weapon)
Also meks are a waste on lootas. Take no meks. I like to run 2x9 lootas behind a defence line, which would go well with your sag mek if you put him with big guns. (Never put lootas with SAG)
And finnaly id change your boys units so that the nob dosent have the big shoota and so that each squad has 3 big shootas.

Basically your unit choices are good, but your equipment choices are sub par.

All of this is just what I would do to make the list work better. Salt required

Thanks for the reply, Yes i am new to the game so that is very useful information! I will look that over and make some changes. Appreciate it!

Ok I did some updates, here is the list, tell me if you think this is better

Ew, a Mek themed army running on Codex: Orks?

My good man, find yourself a copy of Imperial Armour 8 and feast your eyes on the glory of the Codex: Dread Mob

Or, if you can't find said mob, just take it as allies - grab another Big Mek with whatever you want, and a 20 strong mob of boys with no Nob (called "spanna boys") and just use it as a cheap way to get that third Big Mek on the board.

Sorry mate, cant veiw what ever type of pdf that is for some reason.

Ok here I resaved it and uploaded it again see if that works, other then that only thing maybe you have an older version of adobe but that shouldn't matter, you could see my original list?


Oh of the questions i had is on my Deff Dreads i am running Dreadnought ccw x2, Rockekit Launcha, skorcha


What weapon combo do you think i should run, 3 ccw, and a skorcha or 2 launchas? anyway

Everything else i took your advice on, I am just wondering on the Deff Dreads as i got a bit confused.. Sorry i have only played a few games so this is all new to me! thanks for your help!

I will look into that! Imperial Armour 8 hmmm thanks for the thoughts

Tbh, save rokkits for kanz, better BS and cheaper.
You want deffdreads to by running to close combat so best go skorcha and arm or 4 arms ( which looks awesome)

I saw the original on the forum page. As I am on a tablet I cant see the pdfs, which is weird as normally I can.

Dude I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out, I went with the 3 arms and the scorcha, I took your advice on everything else, I had to drop the 2 death-copters to fit all the points but i am at 1495. Thanks again I will let you know how I make out in the weeks to come!

I added the new pdf if you ever get to a desk top and want to check it out, or if it randomly starts working
