So, I've somewhat finished small IG army and decided to start a new green army. I didn't learned yet about orkish features and tactics, but I have some ideas looking on a guys on a tourney in LGS.
Here it is:
1) Big Mek, KFF, Bosspole @90
2) Wazdakka Gutsmek @180
3) Troops1: 27 shoota boys, 3 boys with Big Shootas @195
4) Troops2: 9 warbikers @225
5) FA: Dakkajet with additional Supa-shoota and Fighta Ace @130
6) Elites: 12 Lootas @180
Its 1k overall.
And I need some advice - maybe I should replace some guys for something more effective and reasonable.
Thanks in advance!

No reason to make the bike unit soo big. Also the lootas. Next.. if you have bikes you might want trukk boyz.

What's the KFF for? No armour to protect, trucks would compliment the force well. Take 2 with 12 boys in 1, nob pk bp, and 11 in the other with the mek plus pk bp.

Plus drop the lootas down to 10 or 11 (I forget) so they are not fearless and can gtg.

Wazdakka only take him if you want allot of bikers as troop choise (bike army)

i would rather suggest 3 groups of 30 boys and some other stuff, like another dakkajet.

Thanks for advice!
So, I decided to reduce bikes to 5x (125pts now) and Lootas to 10x (150 pts).
And I took another boys on these points: 11 shoota boys plus 1 boy with Big Shoota plus Trukk with Red paint job and Reinforced ram.
The question is - should I put Mek with KFF in a trukk to cover it along with bikers or in a boys mob and lootas?

Theres no point covering bikers with a KFF, they already get 4+ cover saves all the time.

Don't mix fast and slow. A few small objective holders are alright, but if your force is 50% footsloggers and 50% trukks/bikes its not going to work out very well.

Needs more dakka - Lootas (3x 5 man squads is good) and Big Guns are good

Wazdakka isn't worth it unless your running more than one squad of troop bikers

Okay your starting orks ..How big do you want to go with Orks ..
Are these an ally for your IG or are they a primary force on their own ..?

I don't know really how big my mini-WAAAGH will be Like with IG army, I just started to paint minis I like and this grew into an army - 500 to 750 to 1000 etc.
So, I liked Blood Axes fluff very much and I liked Orks overall. I got the ideas of fellow ork players what should I start with.
Definetly orks will be a primary detachment . Maybe I will try first to combine 500pts orks with 1k IG to look at their play, you know.

I myself would drop 2 lootas and split the 10 remaining in 2 separate squads, and then drop some boyz, and get 2 trukks to put them and the KFF Big Mek in, so they can keep up with the bikes
You dont really need Fighta Ace at 1000 points, almost no1 brings flyers at that points count xD

Oh boy, the last tourney I played in local game store, there were two IGs with two Vendettas each, Dark Eldar flyer (at least I didn't played with this army) and SM talons/ravens. I am not afraid of Vendettas playing horde-like army, but still, I need something to be sure the skies are clear.
