I know this list goes against all orky tactica, I'm Doin' Toys before Boys (Gasp!) but I think it could be good in theory

Hear me out- I got these 2, big scary wagons, the 2 loota batteries in the back, and not much else (gretchin are scorin' blob) Yes, I know you may ask- where are the boys? Well the plan is that the wagons can wreck just about anyone's s**t (in theory) Wagons themselves are my 14 hunters, nobs get out and do what they do best (kill everyone), burnas are almost garunteed to fry a blob of anything every turn (16 templates = you wanna make me roll that or just pick up the squad?). The wagons do their job of delivering the 2 big squads up to my opponents face as fast as possible so long as they get 1 round of movement (12" move + possible flat out of 6" means that no mater what, even if it get's destroyed, there is pain incoming) Proundly display my middle finger cause on turn 1, anything that can't punch 14 ain't doin jack. Kff mek makes the whole package more survivable. Lootas are my anti-light vehicle firepower/anti air, and they always do a great job of that. Oh, and as a bit of meta-gaming, The teams are imperial, chaos, and xeno, so I only have to worry about imperial/chaos armies, so opponents will be all marines with the oddball demon or guard when they actually show up. Thoughts?

Also compare to the tamer (lamer) version that I would run at this value.

Same ol idea as last list, wagons serve as melee delivery systems. This list swaps kff for SAG cause I like it, and has the harrasment trukk, and 1 more battery of lootas.

You know, the whole point of a campaign is to take the chance to not run "Lootas and Shootas" lists?

Tell us the story of the campaign and we'll help you make a fluffy list that works.

Story hasn't been super fleshed out. Long story short- there's an imperial city, and as per campaign tropes, it's besieged on all sides by everyone. Second, I run deffskulls, I like lootas, lootas are fluffy, ergo, there is no reason not to.

As for my boys, they are in it for what any good ork WAAAAGH is- they want a good scrap, wanna grab some loot from dem stoopid 'umies (an any uva git dumb enough to get in our way!) And my warboss, Gorrath Deffgubinz, has got an outrageous 6,000,000 toof bill that 'es gotta pay for all his cybork parts (forgetting he krumped the dok for teef long ago)

Well that changes things. I'm used to people running Lootas because they're OP, not because they fit the theme.

Tell me, is forgeworld allowed in this campaign? Theres some neat gak in there you could possibly benefit from. Not to mention Codex: Dread Mob is literally *the* closest thing you'll ever get to Codex: Deffskulls, it really does them far more justice than the crappy standard Ork codex

As much as I would love to run Codex: Dreadmob, I have not hit the lottery

Build the models man. I've built (but not painted yet) nine Big Trak / Battlewagon models, and each one cost me about five NZD.

Dollar store tank chassis, wood, corrugated card, popsicle sticks and so on, random stuff from the bits box...
