hi im a noob, thus why i wanna start 40k and not whfb!
i like orkz and would like an ork army based around the mega armour units

HQ:
ghazghkull thraka - 225pts
warboss mega armour,bp,cybork - 115pts

troops1 :
5x meganobz twin shoota - 200pts

troops 2:
5x meganobz twin shoota - 200pts

total: 740pts
to spare: 1010pts

Ive got meganobz listed as troops as ghaz/warboss allows 1, in this case 2 mobz to be taken as troops.
with the left over 1010pts, wat should i get boyz obviously how many? shoota, idk about elites/fast attack or heavy support. please any suggestions, the current list is keeps not changing it.

Get battlewagons as transports for the mega nobz and get some lootas then fill the rest of the army with boyz,its your choice of sluggas or shootas

please any suggestions

Probably should start by re-writing that post. "wat" "i" "noob" "current list is keeps not changing it" "idk" and so on.

Not being anal here, the standard exists because people like to read, well, legible posts rather than textspeak, and if you don't post at that standard people will think your a dick.

Not only are you being what you do not want to be, you are deviating from the post point. De Stompa Lad gave me suggestions on how to improve my ork army. You on the other hand are being what you said people might think Iam.

Just keep it to warhammer suggestions and do not personally attack others on this forum for seeking help, no what matter what format is chosen.

Nothing in my post constitutes any kind of personal attack. There are just certain standards of posting to follow here and you have to follow them just like everyone else.

what a fabulous introduction to dakkadakka

I think the main thing you should decide is how you want to deliver the meganobs to the opponent. So for example you could chuck them in battlewagons (dedicated transport for them), and then with 4-5 of them at 1750pts its quite intimidating with all that AV14. Or for a bit of speed, keep small units but chuck them in trukks. That would really only give you 1 turn of movement, but when that turn is 24", its enough. That can be a bit of a 'glass cannon'. Another option is to run them in a horde. Take units of 20-30 shoota boys (or sluggas but generally shoota>>slugga) and wrap them around the meganobs, so plasma shooting at the MANZ has to go through a unit giving a 5+ cover save. This can be a cheaper alternative to a KFF mek, and at the moment you already have 2 HQs... hence the suggestion.
Of those three, IMO the horde is probably the strongest. Its just so difficult to deal to so many wounds, and the MANZ in this context generally work as a hard hitting support role. Then would be the battle-wagons. Generally they're good, but with armies that have mobile anti tank its an issue due to their large AV12 sides. The weakest is probably the trukks, just due the the variability in their performance. Sometimes awesome, sometimes a flop. Again this is just IMO.

With Ghaz in there, I would either go horde or battlewagons. The main disadvantage of a horde is there's quite a few guys to move. At first I found it kinda cool, then tedious as it slows games dramatically. YMMV
By not wanting to change what you have, I presume you mean the units themselves. I would look at at least one kombi-skorcha in each MANZ unit. They're quite useful, on the other hand kombi-rokkits are not so don't bother with them. Also an attack squig is always a good investment on the warboss.



or horde
