I'm trying to combine a gunline with some speedy trukks to try and throw down ALOT of firepower while getting my trukks close as possible without dying (too much)
This is what I've got so far (with some help from a mate)

The list is pretty self-explanatory.. All the long range you see hammers the targets while everything rushes the table to get in close.. I have about 20 points spare and not 100% sure where to spend them, if I need more I can always cut away the Big Mek's Power Klaw and Attack Squig but I do enjoy them in CC haha. Some tips would be appreciated

Only Dread Mob burnas can have a trukk mate. And this certainly isn't a dread mob list.

Otherwise, love the list. Could be made a bit stronger with Grot Bomms or that fourth Loota mob we talked about. Maybe ditch the SAG as well... I reckon a ded killy Megaboss would do more for this list. SAG is really only good for adding anti TEQ to the list, but with so many klaws I reckon your gonna handle 2+ just fine.

Dang it.. Alright I'll swap the Burna's with something.. Are Kommando's with Snikrot any good? I'm putting the SAG in there just to see what kind of carnage he can cause, the reason for all the AP potential is I want to make a Anti SM or GK list. If I go up against GK's I wanna REALLY soften them up before I get into CC haha.

Nah, they became rubbish once they lost the ability to assault from outflanking.

You'd be better off getting some AA. Instead of a SAG, how about an Aegis with a Quad Gun? Or even a Bastion with the same... which lets the Quad Gun autofire and protects your dudes much better

I experimented with the Big Trakk using the Flakka-Gun but got some seriously lousy results.. Is there any AA the Orks have that is a liiiiittle bit more reliable? I was going to use a third squad of Loota's and just snapshoot at anything that's flying around

Icarus Las Cannon on that Gun line and a Small Grot squad to Man it ..
Will Deal With your anti Air Any Extra Points can be spent elsewhere
Mabey a DakkaJet or another Lootas Group..

Yeah I'm thinking the Icarus Lascannon is the way to go, if I miss with that I can always hammer any fliers with the Loota squads

If the Icarus works, could you let me know? I've always reckoned it would be the better choice but never got around to trying it out.

AA wise, if flakk guns and lootas aren't killing it, you could try Dakkajets. Or you could just ignore the damn things

This is what I've ended up with..
As can be seen, it's pretty basic but hopefully effective haha. Only reason the SAG is in there is because I wanna see some hilarious yet useful results.

So who is manning the Icarus? Can the crew of the big gunz?

I like your list.

You could add a squad of gretchin to join the SAG and fire the icarus. Pay for this by getting rid of red paint jobs and reducing the number of ammo runts.

I would suggest you put a squad of kannon with the Icarus. Keep the Ammo runts, as you can use those on the Icarus shots.

I would suggest you give your trukks a ram as it allows you to re-roll dangerous terrain tests. It really sucks when your trukks get immobilized in forests.

Lootas break and run easily. If you are attaching your SAG Mek to a squad of Lootas, give that big mek a boss pole to keep them from running. You can also attach him to a squad of Kannon.
Either way, attach him to something, otherwise he will be killed early.


An Aegis line is long, but not super long. 3 squads of Kannon and 3 mobs of 10 Lootas will need more space then it can provide. If you need to put something out in the open, remember that Artillery rules make the crew T7 against shooting attacks. Put a squad or two out front, in the open if you need to. If your opponent shoots at then, that is great as they are one of the least point effective targets in our book. The shots that killed Artillery could have devastated your trukks and boyz.


Your BigMek is, stat wise, a Nob. He is not a Warboss. If you are taking him for the KFF, why give him the Pklaw?

Two powerklaws in that trukk sounds brutal, but the target priority for your enemy is obvious.

If you go second, the trukk with the KFF and two power klaws will never get to move.

If I were playing against you, I'd shoot everything at that trukk until it was gone. You're only going to save 1/3 of the shots against it,

its av 10 and open topped. it will go boom. Now you have the critical part of your fast army de-meched in your deployment zone. oops.

Battle wagons are still the MVP of the ork codex IMHO.

By the same token he could just hide that truck behind the other trucks the first turn

Yeah atleast one of the Kannons teams will be near the Icarus, so the extra Gretchin can man the Las. The KFF Trukk will be behind the other Trukks for some form of cover. I gave the Mek a PK cause in all the games I've played, an extra PK attack would have saved my buns. The SAG is going to get attached to some Lootas, will give him a BP too, cheers for the reminder. And I don't plan on putting everything behind the ADL, it's there in case I don't have much cover on my side of the field for all my shooty units
