Alright, so I recently found out two interesting things about Deff Koptas. Firstly, was that they have two wounds instead of the one that I thought they had, and secondly, that Codex: Dread Mob can give them Power Fists for a measly 10 points.

So immediately, I got to thinking; "wow, all those Deff Koptas I have sitting around may actually be useful for something!"

And thusly, The Killa Bees list was born. God knows if its any good, I've never used even a third of this number of Koptas in one game in my life!

The list is divided into two parts - a rapid strike force called Da Beez, and a static objective camper/gunline called Da Hive.

Da Beez

Deff Kopta Tank Huntas [5 Koptas, 2x Saw, 1x Big Bomb, all w/ TL Rokkit] (260)

Deff Kopta Assault Skwad [5 Koptas, 5x Saw, all w/ TL Big Shoota, 1x Big Bomb] (240)

Deff Kopta General Skwad [5 Koptas, 3x Saw, 2x TL Rokkit & 3x TL Big Shoota, 2x Big Bomb] (255)

Allied Deff Kopta Bombas [5 Koptas, 4x Big Bomb, all w/ TL Big Shoota] (235)

=990

Da Hive

Big Mek w/ SAG, Bosspole, Cybork

Allied Big Mek w/ SAG, Bosspole, Cybork

2x Spanna Boyz Mob (x15 boys, shootas)

1x Allied Gretchin Mob [x15 Grots, Runtherd)

1x Lootas Mob (x7 Lootas)

Aegis Defense Line w/ Quad Gun
=660

Total: 1650

Comments? Criticism? The list originally had less Deff Koptas and SAGs, but I managed to squeeze a 6 strong Biker Nobs Unit + a Biker Boss as well. Would it be worth putting that back in at the expense of Deff Koptas and/or guns from the gunline?

I don't know how to break it to you...

You can't ally with yourself. That is to say, you can't have an ork primary detachment allied to another ork detachment. That's what double FOC lists are for at or above 2,000 points.

Imperial armor 8 mate, it's not the same codex. thus you can.

Edit:
Looking over at it again, it doesnt seem to be a IA8 list as i expected Dakkamite to make.

Yeah man, this is Codex: Orks allied to their battle brothers Codex: Dread Mob. 100% permittable.

As much as I like having a dozen deff rollas in my army (and I do) the tournament I'm going to allows you to take two armies and choose which one to field for each battle. So I want to set up something to run with my rolla mob thats completely different and also relatively unexpected

Well as for more things to add etc, i would skip some Buzzsaws and bombs so you get more points fore more boyz or more koptas.

I dunno about cutting down on saws... where else can you get power klaws for just 10 points each? However maybe I have a few too many bombs - I did a little homework and apparantly these bombs aren't all that great. That said I've already maximised the number of Koptas, so any points I take out would need to go into stuff from 'Da Hive'

One thing I was considering was doing away with 'da Hive' altogether, and just taking Nob Bikers and Bikerboss, with perhaps some Gretchin and required Spanna Boyz for backfield objective duty.
